Hiroshima University (HU) invites applications for a position as a Professor whose main task will be taking a project manager (PM) role to design and deliver a new researcher development program.
HU is one of the leading national universities in Japan, recognized for our expertise across a range of disciplines. Based on its founding principle, “A single unified university, free and pursuing peace,” HU is committed to promoting advanced scientific research that benefits the future of humankind while also fostering globally competitive talents. HU has three campuses in and around to Hiroshima City, the international symbol of peace. It is situated in the highly renowned region; Setouchi, or one of the seas containing the most islands in the world with high international tourism value with multiple world heritage sites, making for a rich cultural experience.
HU is one of the three universities participating in the HIRAKU-Global Program (the Program), newly funded by a 10-year MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) grant called “Strategic Development Program for World-Class Researchers.” HU serves as a leading organization in this initiative, in collaboration with the other three national universities in western Japan (Yamaguchi University, Tokushima University, Ehime University). We aim to develop world-leading researchers by promoting international collaborative research and providing the researchers with the relevant opportunities, beneficial environment and quality support for their personal development as researchers, which would ultimately raise their profile in the global community and accelerate their career development. Integrated effort to promote the Program will eventually expand the global presence of HIRAKU-Global member organizations in the Setouchi region as well as Japan.
We are recruiting an exceptional individual for the professor position who can act as a Program Manager to execute and manage the whole Program.
