About this position
The Earthquake Research Institute at the University of Tokyo is recruiting four fixed-term STAR-E-NEXT Project Research Fellows to advance interdisciplinary research at the intersection of seismology, information science, and artificial intelligence.
The five-year STAR-E-NEXT project uses Japan’s extensive earthquake-related datasets to develop efficient, integrated methods for earthquake assessment, damage prediction, and disaster-risk reduction. The University of Tokyo leads a collaboration involving domestic research institutions and universities, creating a broad research environment spanning earthquake science, data analysis, machine learning, geodesy, historical records, and physical simulation.
The selected researchers will be mainly involved in research theme ①, improving event-cataloging technology for earthquakes and slow earthquakes. Depending on their expertise and interests, they may also contribute to seismic-motion prediction, historical earthquake research, next-generation machine-learning methods, discovery of previously unknown earthquake phenomena, and interdisciplinary collaboration between information science and seismology. Proposals for additional research themes that advance this fusion are welcomed.
The position is based at the Earthquake Research Institute in Tokyo and offers the opportunity to work on research with direct relevance to earthquake hazard evaluation, national resilience, and rapid disaster response.
