募集の背景、プロジェクトの説明
Hiroshima University is promoting the university-wide strategy “President 5 Initiatives for Peace Sciences,” which aims to solve global challenges and realize a peaceful and sustainable society. As a key project within this initiative, the university will establish the “Research Institute for Ocean and Maritime Futures” in fiscal year 2025. This institute will conduct interdisciplinary research integrating science and technology, policy, legal systems, and human resource development in the ocean and maritime fields, while also working to establish a hub that leads the way in ocean governance and sustainable ocean use in Asia.
https://www.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/kuretgo/institute
As a core component of this initiative, we established the “Ocean Remote Sensing Technology Center” in fiscal year 2026. This center is a pioneering global research and education hub that integrates data from space, the ocean, and the maritime sector. Specifically, it aims to realize a digital twin of the ocean by fusing satellite, ship-based, and ocean observation data with AI and data assimilation technologies.
Hiroshima University is now accepting international applications for a Specially Appointed Faculty Member to lead the Center’s initial phase. The successful candidate will conduct research on ship and offshore structure detection methods using microwave remote sensing technologies (such as Synthetic Aperture Radar, or “SAR”), radar analysis, digital twins, data science, and safe navigation of ships, and will also be responsible for teaching in a new graduate program scheduled to begin in the 2027 academic year.
We welcome applications from motivated researchers who are eager to tackle global ocean challenges and lead the next generation in the marine and maritime fields. -
