The Institute of Materials Structure Science (IMSS) restructured its organization to strengthen both research and facility functions on April 1st, 2019. The candidate (full professor) will belong to the Photon Factory (PF). He/she is expected to be the leader of administration section. This position requires sufficient Japanese language skills (i.e., native Japanese speakers’ level).
The main missions of the administration section are designing, improving, and smoothly operating various systems for user programs, safety, and collaboration with SR and quantum-beam facilities, etc., in close cooperation with the Administration Bureau of KEK. The successful candidate, as the leader of the section, will optimize these systems for PF by reviewing demands and proposals submitted to the section or by making the section’s own surveys, and thus the optimized systems will contribute to the enhancement of scientific outputs from PF. He/she is also requested to strongly support the director (head) of PF, together with the other two section leaders of the facility.
