Message for post-doc applicants

We welcome applications for postdoctoral research positions. Both of us (Prof. Ebisawa and Dr. Tsujimoto) spent a considerable period as researchers abroad (in the US and Switzerland). We are fully aware that the postdoctoral period is often the most productive stage in one’s research career. We also recognize that postdocs play a central role in the research activities of a group and thereby contribute significantly to stimulating our work. We expect postdocs to pursue their own independent research. However, if you wish to expand your research field beyond your PhD thesis, we are happy to provide advice and support.

In space astronomy, it is important to align your career profile with the relevant projects. Our group members are deeply involved in several international space projects led by JAXA, as listed below. These projects are at various stages of development, and you can participate in them and gain different experience depending on the project phase.

Many more activities are taking place at ISAS, including X-ray, infrared, and radio astronomy, solar physics, and solar system exploration, all within the same institute. This level of concentration is unique in the world. Our group members also use other ground- and space-based observatories as guest observers. We hope these opportunities will provide an ideal environment for you to develop your career.

Applications

We do not run our own dedicated postdoctoral program. However, there are many opportunities available through ISAS career paths, as listed below. JAXA also offers other employment opportunities, some of which are related to astronomy projects. If you are considering an application, please feel free to contact us.

• JSPS Postdoctral Fellowships for Foreign Researchers
• JAXA Aerospace Project Research Associate
