About this position
The Algebraic Combinatorics and Fundamental Physics Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar or staff scientist to join a growing research group led by Matteo Parisi in Okinawa, Japan.
The unit works across mathematics and theoretical physics, focusing on the combinatorial and geometric structures that underlie quantum field theory. The advertised research themes include algebraic combinatorics, algebraic geometry, nonlinear algebra, discrete geometry, total positivity, cluster algebras, amplituhedra, positive geometry, scattering amplitudes, Feynman integrals, and Landau analysis.
The successful candidate will join an active environment that already includes three postdoctoral researchers, together with research interns and rotation students. The posting highlights opportunities for independent and collaborative research, publishing and presenting results, and contributing to seminars, workshops, mentoring, community, and outreach activities within and beyond OIST.
OIST is described as an international graduate university with English as its official language and a five-year PhD programme, offering a research setting with shared resources, travel support, and assistance with relocation and daily life.
Funding details
Expected annual salary: Postdoctoral Scholar ¥4.6–5.9 million; Staff Scientist ¥5.0–7.5 million. Benefits include relocation, housing and commuting allowances, health insurance, welfare pension, workers’ accident compensation insurance, language education, and other OIST support.
What's required
Applicants for either appointment should have a PhD in mathematics, physics, or a closely related field by the starting date, a strong research record in an area relevant to the Unit, the ability to work independently and collaboratively, and the ability to communicate and collaborate effectively in English. For Staff Scientist, substantial post-PhD research experience, typically exceeding five years, is expected.
How to apply
Apply through AcademicJobsOnline using the application form on the posting page. Upload a cover letter stating whether you wish to be considered for Postdoctoral Scholar, Staff Scientist, or both and your preferred starting date, plus a CV with publication list, research statement, broader impacts statement, and the names and contact information of three referees. Recommendation letters are not required initially; shortlisted candidates will later be asked to arrange three confidential letters.
