  The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) has been operating the 8.2m Subaru Telescope located atop of Maunakea, Hawaii. The wide-field observation capability with excellent spatial resolution of the Subaru Telescope makes it one of the most scientifically productive groundbased telescopes in the world. ULTIMATE-Subaru is the next-generation facility instrument development project at the Subaru telescope, which will expand the Subaru’s wide-field survey capability to the near-infrared (NIR) wavelength. The project consists of two instrument development programs: a ground layer adaptive optics (GLAO) system and wide field near-infrared instruments.
  
  We invite applications for a postdoctoral researcher position in the NAOJ to work for the GLAO project and conduct research and development for an Adaptive Secondary Mirror (ASM) for the Subaru Telescope and its optical metrology system. A successful candidate for this position is expected to engage in the following tasks:
  (1) Determine the optimal metrology system for measuring the optical surface quality of the ASM for the Subaru telescope and its implementation plan.
  (2) Set up the optical metrology system and perform measurements and data analysis according to the GLAO's development schedule.
  (3) Survey on the technology of mirror surface metrology for large mirrors of 1 m diameter or larger.
  (4) Research and development of technologies related to the mirror surface metrology.
  The position also provides the opportunity for the successful candidates to conduct their own research program in astronomy or related field.
