About this position

RIKEN’s Research Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) is recruiting a Research Fellow / Special Research Fellow for the Research Team for Unified Solutions of Complex Phenomena in Japan. The position is centered on computational science, high-performance computing, fluid mechanics, and thermal engineering, with a strong emphasis on developing unified simulation methods for tightly coupled multi-physics problems.

The project focuses on advancing the use of the supercomputer Fugaku, improving and tuning simulation tools for Fugaku NEXT, and applying them to complex fluid phenomena such as multiphase flow. The team works on algorithms that efficiently solve multiple governing equations and on tools that improve single-node and parallel performance while considering computer architecture.

This is a fixed-term contract researcher/postdoctoral-equivalent role. The posting states an annual income of 4 million yen or more, with salary determined by experience, skills, and achievements. Benefits include discretionary work allowance, commuting allowance, housing allowance, and social insurance.

Eligibility requires a PhD in a field related to the job description. For the Special Researcher track, applicants may be expected to complete the PhD by the appointment date and must have obtained the degree within the last five years. The institute also seeks candidates who can communicate well with collaborators inside and outside RIKEN and work cooperatively across roles.

The work location is Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Applications are accepted through the RIKEN recruitment webpage only; the posting says JREC-IN portal web applications and email applications are not accepted. The deadline is 2027-03-18, though the position may close earlier once a suitable candidate is found.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.

How to apply

Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
