仕事内容・職務内容
IMRAM identifies research in solid-state batteries and solid-state ionics as a core area for addressing urgent societal challenges from a multidisciplinary perspective. These challenges include energy sustainability, environmental preservation, and the responsible use of resources. The appointed researcher will play a leading role in the development of new materials and energy conversion devices, in collaboration with Prof. Jürgen Janek, to provide fundamental and transformative solutions to these issues.
The successful candidate will work synergistically with ongoing cutting-edge research at IMRAM, such as the development of novel battery materials (led by Prof. Itaru Homma and Assoc. Prof. Saneyuki Ohno) and advanced operando analysis of materials and devices using synchrotron radiation (led by Prof. Koji Amezawa and Assoc. Prof. Yuta Kimura). The position aims to establish an internationally recognized research hub for next-generation energy technologies through these collaborations. This recruitment is part of a project associated with the "University for International Research Excellence" initiative, for which Tohoku University was the first institution to be certified in Japan. -
