The project is carried out in collaboration with Professor Yury Korolev of the University of Bath (UK). The research focus is on the mathematical foundations of operator learning, with themes including operator learning, gradient flows, convex analysis, functional analysis, inverse problems, neural operators, and transformers. The university notes that applicants do not need to be proficient in all of these areas, but should be willing to engage actively with new research topics and collaborate toward publications in international journals.
This is a fixed-term postdoctoral appointment from 2027-04-01 to 2029-03-31. There are no teaching duties, and research communication can be conducted in English; Japanese is not required.
