Background of the recruitment and description of the project
[Message from President]
https://www.rnbs.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/en/
Hiroshima University (HU) herewith makes an open international job offer and seeks to appoint Professor with tenure; Associate Professor with tenure; Associate Professor/Assistant Professor on Tenure Track System in the research area of Semiconductor Engineering. This position is based on the ‘Policy for recruiting/cultivating excellent faculty members’. The university introduced this policy to create a secure environment in which junior-positioned faculty members can concentrate on their research/education.
HU provides startup support money for assistant professors. By assigning a mentor to each newly-recruited faculty member on tenure track, HU continues to develop an environment where such faculty member can engage himself/herself in research activities independently. In case the recruited member does not secure tenure, he/she will be able to extend his/her term of employment for up to one year as a specially appointed faculty member. The special appointment starts on the day following the end date of the existing employment contract for the tenure-track position.
We are looking forward to welcoming those who are prepared to go along with the principles, long-term vision and medium-term target of HU (https://www.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/en/about), and who are motivated and can play key roles by committing themselves to research and education at HU.
Mitsuo Ochi, President of Hiroshima University -
