About this position

RIKEN’s Center for Computational Science is recruiting three Research Scientists or Postdoctoral Researchers for the High Performance Artificial Intelligence Systems Research Team. The team develops algorithms, software, and computational methods that make artificial intelligence efficient on large-scale computing systems, combining AI methodology with high-performance computing to address complex scientific data.

The positions are linked to two JST ARiSE projects. Two researchers will contribute to SPARK: Synchrotron Platform for AI-empowered Research and Knowledge, developing imaging AI and digital-twin analysis pipelines. One researcher will work on a materials AI platform and scientific image representations integrated into Material-Omni. Researchers will collaborate with scientists working on synchrotron imaging and multimodal materials foundation models.

Possible research directions include AI models for high-resolution scientific images, direct processing of three-dimensional data, segmentation, feature extraction, and defect detection. Other topics include tokenization and representation learning that preserve physical information and fine-scale microstructure, integration of image representations into multimodal foundation models, efficient training and inference for large scientific images, and scalable computation using GPUs and supercomputing systems.

The team also develops and evaluates reproducible imaging workflows, considering accuracy, computational cost, and usefulness for scientific analysis and measurement decisions. Applicants may indicate a preferred research direction, while final project assignments will reflect their expertise and project needs.

The researchers will join the High Performance Artificial Intelligence Systems Research Team within RIKEN’s Center for Computational Science. The work location is RIKEN’s Tokyo Campus in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, with telecommuting within Japan potentially available subject to approval. The research environment emphasizes collaboration across computational science, scientific imaging, materials research, and high-performance computing.
