Open Faculty Positions
Experience a new model of scientific freedom in an innovative university.
The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology is an English-speaking and dynamic doctoral program-only university in Japan. We are inviting applications for tenure-track and tenured faculty positions.
We provide:
- Sustained research funding for your scientific vision;
- Fully funded PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, lab techs, and staff scientists;
- World-class core facilities and expert support staff;
- Support for amplifying your scientific impact (e.g., technology transfer, outreach, collaborations, etc.);
- Full administrative support.
Our culture and environment:
- No faculty hierarchies or departments;
- A thriving international research community representing 80+ countries;
- A vibrant, safe, multicultural setting on the beautiful island of Okinawa.
Applications are sought in two areas:
- Mathematical Sciences, including pure math, applied math, statistics, and data sciences. Any potential connections to the broad areas represented at OIST would be welcome;
- Energy and Sustainability, broadly defined. Interdisciplinary approaches complementing OIST’s current research portfolio, as well as impactful energy solutions for sub-tropical islands are particularly welcome.
As a core part of our expansion plan and research vision, we seek to hire three tenure-track or tenured faculty members in each area.
To fully realize our vision of promoting scientific excellence through a diverse and inclusive community, OIST is actively seeking applications from women and underrepresented groups to meet our target of hiring at least 50% women in this current search. Successful applicants will enjoy competitive remuneration packages with additional benefits, such as housing and commuting allowances, dual-career support, and family support.
Application documents (all to be submitted in English):
- Cover letter;
- CV, indicating three publications of note;
- Research statement;
- Engagement statement;
- Three letters of recommendation.
