About this position

Special Research Fellow / Associate Special Research Fellow in the Earth System Domain at the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), Japan.

This fixed-term research position focuses on research on the response analysis of Siberian greenhouse gases to polar environmental changes. The project builds on nearly 20 years of greenhouse gas observations in Siberia using a tower observation network and will use long-term observation data from FY2027 to study carbon cycles, concentration fluctuation mechanisms, and the impacts of natural variation and human activities in polar regions.

Research fields/keywords: atmospheric chemistry, biogeochemistry, atmospheric physics, meteorology, atmospheric radiation, environmental dynamics analysis, greenhouse gases, carbon cycle, satellite observation data, chemical transport models.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a doctoral degree (Research Fellow) or master's degree (Associate Research Fellow) by the start date, have studied relevant applied chemistry or applied physics fields, have at least one original paper related to the field, and be able to communicate in Japanese or English. Experience with comprehensive analytical methods using chemical transport models and satellite observation data is considered favorable.

Funding and conditions: full-time contract employment with salary according to NIES regulations. Special Researcher salary starts from 5,652,000 yen/year; Associate Special Researcher starts from 16,230 yen/day. Social insurance and commuting allowance are provided.
