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.
