Seeking a Research Scientist or a Postdoctoral Researcher (R-CCS2005) (Discrete Event Simulation Research Team)

[Laboratory]
Discrete Event Simulation Research Team
RIKEN Center for Computational Science
(Team Leader: Nobuyasu Ito)

[Research Field]
RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS), led by Center Director Satoshi Matsuoka, is an international research center in high performance computing and computational science in Japan. Our objectives are to investigate “the Science of (high performance) computing, by computing, and for computing", to research and develop our technologies (R-CCS technology) and software (R-CCS software), which we consider our core competence, in order to produce world-leading scientific and engineering results for use in Japan as well as globally.

Also, R-CCS started operating Japan's national flagship supercomputer, the Fugaku computer, as a shared national facility to support a wide range of research activities in 2020.

The Discrete Event Simulation Research Team ("DESRT") performs cutting-edge research and development on discrete-event simulations and their wide applications. Especially, simulations of social phenomena using agent-based models.
