The Center for KANSEI Innovation, newly launched in 2013 at the Hiroshima University
(one of top ten Japanese universities), is seeking computational/mathematical
neuroscientists from overseas. Under the new, exciting scheme of government-funded
project, COI STREAM, our mission is to innovate research developments foreseeing 10
years in the future. The center’s mission is to drive radical innovation on KANSEI— a
Japanese term corresponding to emergent properties of our feelings, sensations, or
emotions that are expressed and embedded in our complex neural and physiological
responses. One of our primary missions is to create brain emotion interfaces, which is
to bridge mental gaps amongst people, enriching our mental quality of life. The center
is fully equipped with our own MRI scanner (Siemens Verio 3T) with EEG, eye-tracker,
TMS, and tACS/tDCS facilities, as well as several physiological-measurement
equipments, plus a shared access to an MEG facility.
Full-time research lecturer (assistant professor)/Postdoc: The successful
candidate for the full-time positions has expertise in mathematical models on data
collected from multimodal environment (i.e., fMRI and EEG as well as various
physiological responses). Expertise in machine learning, computational engineering,
and/or brain computer interface is necessary. High interpersonal skills are expected as
well to interact with a large group of talented, interdisciplinary colleagues from
universities and industries with various backgrounds in a friendly, open-minded
environment. Contract will be updated annually. The position is available now.
Visiting professor (on sabbatical): We are also seeking visiting professors on a
sabbatical with background including but not limited to computational/mathematical
neurosciences. Expertise in other fields related to neuroscience and engineering are
welcome. A period to visit is negotiable, but until year 2020.
For both positions, salaries are depending on your experiences and a regulation set by
the Hiroshima University Faculty Members employed under annual salary system.
About Hiroshima: The center is located at the heart of a beautiful city of Hiroshima,
which is the biggest city around the Chugoku region on the main island in Japan.
Hiroshima is well known for its fruitful resources for activities, nature, and high-quality
cuisines.
