ISAS is seeking for outstanding and highly motivated young researchers who will promote our academic research and R&D more effectively and efficiently, by participating as RA. Please see Application Requirements shown in below for the details.

<Message from the Chair of Graduate School Education Committee of ISAS>
In ISAS RA recruitment, strict screening is conducted, and the adoption rate is around 50%. In particular, deficiency and incompletion in application documents are conspicuous. ISAS RA recruitment is for those who are expected to play active roles in universities or companies in the future. So it also serves as a training for winning the future desired environment on their own with careful reading of application requirements for posts or external funds, understanding the meanings of forms, explanations with their own easy-to-understand descriptions.
In ISAS RA recruitment, overdue and incomplete documents are not subject to screen. Please prepare well. Schedule management and accurate documentation are the first steps in successful research activities. I'm hoping to see good applications!!
