Offer Description

[Background of the recruitment and description of the project]
* Background of the recruitment and description of the project
The International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research (I2CNER) is a member Center of the “WPI Academy”
founded by MEXT’s Research Promotion Bureau. I2CNER’s mission is to contribute to the creation of a sustainable
and environmentally friendly society by conducting fundamental research for the advancement of low carbon
emission and cost-effective energy systems, and improvement of energy efficiency. Please refer to the link below column for more detailed information regarding I2CNER.

In November 2022, I2CNER is launching the “Center for Energy Systems Design," referred to as “the Center”, under
the “Carbon Neutral Energy Alliance” in collaboration with six research institutes* to conduct research that
contributes to the realization of carbon neutrality. The Center consists of six research teams: "Photo Conversion",
"Electric Conversion", "Materials Conversion", "Materials/Transport", "Data Science", and "Energy Analysis". The
Center’s goal is "energy system design, high-speed conversion of energy, and materials conversion through using
data science" toward the realization of carbon neutrality. Please refer to the following link for more detailed information regarding CESD.
