The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (www.oist.jp) is an English-speaking and dynamic graduate-only university in Japan. We are inviting applications for tenure-track and tenured faculty positions.

Provided:

  • Sustained funding for your scientific vision
  • Fully funded PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, lab techs, and staff scientists
  • No faculty hierarchies or departments
  • World-class core facilities and expert support staff
  • Support for amplifying your scientific impact (e.g., technology transfer, outreach, collaborations, etc.)
  • Full administrative support
  • An international environment with a global reach

Applications are sought in the broad area of science, engineering, and technology. As part of our expansion plan, we seek to hire 20 faculty by 2026 with up to 10 faculty in this initial round. We aim to enhance and complement existing strengths in fields, including (but not limited to) life sciences, environmental sciences, physical sciences, mathematics, computational sciences, and engineering.

To fully realize our vision of promoting scientific excellence through a diverse and inclusive community, OIST is actively seeking applications from women and underrepresented groups to meet our target of hiring at least 50% women in this current search. Successful applicants will enjoy competitive remuneration packages with additional benefits, such as housing allowance and family support.
