業務内容

  • 募集の背景、プロジェクトの説明

    Nagaoka University of Technology invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position as a "Specially Appointed Assistant Professor (or Specially Appointed Lecturer) for Academia-Industry Fusion." This role actively promotes interdisciplinary research and industry-academia integration, with an appointment term through March 31, 2032.

    As a university selected for the "Program for Forming Japan’s Peak Research Universities (J-PEAKS)" sponsored by MEXT and JSPS, Nagaoka University of Technology is strongly driving societal transformation through "convergent knowledge" that transcends academic disciplines and organizational boundaries. To achieve this key priority, we have launched a unique organizational reform—establishing new "Research Units"—and are seeking a researcher to jointly advance cutting-edge interdisciplinary research and its societal implementation.

    The appointee will be affiliated with the Top Runner Incubation Center for Academia-Industry Fusion and will be able to focus primarily on research. To support this, startup funds will be allocated and administrative duties will be minimized.

    Tenure will be granted based on an interim evaluation and a final evaluation. Candidates who demonstrate particularly outstanding achievements in the interim evaluation may receive tenure at that stage.
