Lead the future global academic community of high-performance computing technology for computational materials science.
The consortium encourages highly motivated young researchers to achieve
cross-disciplinary research works by joining more than two institutes under
PCoMS.
They could acquire the broader view and the extensive knowledge of materials
science, condensed matter physics, molecular science and materials design
by carrying out the collaborative cross-disciplinary research associated
with long-term stays at the institutes under PCoMS.
<Main affiliation>
one of the following institutes under PCoMS:
1. Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University
2. Institute for Solid State Physics, University of Tokyo
3. Institute for Molecular Science
4. Institute for Nano Science Design, Osaka University
<Potential institutes for cross appointments/long term visits>
Institutes except for main affiliation under PCoMS
Research field of opening positions is computational materials science
(A research by means of high-performance computing technology for creating
new field of computational science based on materials science, condensed
matter physics, molecular science and materials design).
Applicants should hold a Ph. D that was acquired after April 1, 2005, and
should be under 40 years old* as of April 1, 2015.
A selection committee at main affiliation and an expert committee at Professional
development Consortium for Computational Materials Scientists (PCoMS) will
examine application documents and conduct interviews. Details of selection
process by the committee at PCoMS wil be informed, after candidates pass
the document screening.
*Due to eligibility requirements for subsidies from MEXT's 2015 consortium development project for the training of scientific and technical personnel.
Other
Computer equipments are available,
Supporting research staff (postdoctoral fellow) can be hired,
etc.
These options are dependent on the positions and main affiliations
