About this position

RIKEN’s Research Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) in Japan is recruiting Research Fellows / Special Research Fellows for the High-Performance Computation Modeling Research Team. This is a postdoctoral-equivalent contract position focused on high-performance computing (HPC), including performance modeling, simulation, performance prediction, monitoring, and hardware/software co-design.

The team studies performance analysis and modeling of processors, networks, memory, accelerators, storage, and other HPC subsystems, and also explores unconventional hardware such as neuromorphic chips, optical computing, and quantum computing devices. The role includes managing benchmark sets, designing new benchmarks, tracking long-term performance trends, and developing methods for automatic performance tuning and portability for large-scale simulations on Fugaku and next-generation supercomputers.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD in a related field (or expect to obtain one by appointment for the Special Research Fellow role). The posting asks for experience in performance analysis/tuning/modeling, knowledge of HPC systems and Linux, familiarity with C/C++/Fortran/CUDA/OpenMP/MPI, scripting with Bash/Python, and strong English communication skills.

Funding: contract employment with annual salary system; annual income starts at about 4 million yen, with commuting allowance, housing allowance, discretionary work allowance, and social insurance provided.

Location: Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan (RIKEN Kobe campus).

Deadline: applications are accepted until 2027-06-19, though the search may close earlier once a suitable candidate is found.

How to apply: use the RIKEN recruitment webpage and submit the required electronic documents through the institution’s web application portal. Email and JREC-IN Portal web applications are not accepted.
