We’re hiring for a Project Assistant Professor / Project Researcher at The University of Tokyo, within the Institute for Future Initiatives. This opportunity sits at the intersection of bibliometrics, R&D strategy, and innovation studies, with a strong focus on using text mining, natural language processing (NLP), and generative AI to study the future of innovation.

The role is especially relevant for candidates interested in applying computational and data-driven methods to topics such as sustainability, AI, quantum, energy, and well-being. The team works with papers, patents, and policy data, and the post mentions collaboration with global industry partners.
