About this position

Keio University’s Hashimoto Laboratory is seeking a postdoctoral-equivalent researcher for the Space Strategy Fund project “Creation of High-Performance Resin Materials for Space and 3D Additive Manufacturing Technology in Orbit.” The project focuses on developing thermally driven actuators for space applications through the integration of thermal and mechanical phenomena.

The researcher will design, prototype, and evaluate thermally driven actuators, and develop design methods that couple heat conduction, thermal deformation, and thermal radiation. Potential approaches include topology optimization, structural optimization, numerical analysis, and data-driven design. The work also involves producing prototypes through additive manufacturing and assessing fabrication accuracy and thermal performance.

Depending on the researcher’s expertise and interests, the role may include fabricating and characterizing thermally driven devices, including thermally driven MEMS and microactuators, as well as measuring temperature, displacement, and force. The laboratory welcomes expertise in thermal engineering, additive manufacturing, materials, thermal measurement, optimization, and related fields.

The position is based in the Department of Systems Design Engineering at Keio University’s Yagami Campus in Yokohama, within the research environment of the Hashimoto Laboratory.

Funding details

Full-time fixed-term contract position with an annual income of 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 yen, approximately 314,300 to 400,000 yen per month depending on experience and ability. Commuting allowance is provided according to university regulations. Health insurance, employees' pension insurance, workers' compensation insurance, and employment insurance are included.

What's required

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree or be expected to obtain one by the time of appointment. Research experience in topology optimization, structural optimization, thermal engineering, or additive manufacturing is desirable. Applications should include a PDF resume with a photograph, email address, and telephone number, plus a PDF list of research achievements such as peer-reviewed papers, international conference presentations, and patents. Candidates who pass document screening will give a 20-minute research presentation during the interview.

How to apply

Email a PDF resume and PDF list of research achievements to [email protected], replacing “(at)” with “@”. Use “Researcher Application (Your Name)” as the email subject. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to an interview with a 20-minute research presentation; online interviews are available for applicants living far away.
