Position Description:
Experience a new model of scientific freedom in an innovative university.
The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology is an English-speaking and dynamic doctoral program-only university in Japan. We are inviting applications for tenure-track and tenured faculty positions.
We provide:

- Full administrative support
Our culture and environment:
- No faculty hierarchies or departments
- A thriving international research community representing 80+ countries

- Energy and Sustainability, broadly defined. Interdisciplinary approaches complementing OIST’s current research portfolio, as well as impactful energy solutions for sub-tropical islands are particularly welcome.
As a core part of our expansion plan and research vision, we seek to hire three tenure-track or tenured faculty members in each area.
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.
