COE
program:
"System
Construction
of
Global-Network-Oriented Information Electronics" has founded a research and educational center for
nano-technology (NT) and information communication technology (IT), led by Prof. Tatsuo Uchida as
its leader/director. Distinguished professors from the Dept. of Electronic Engineering, the Dept. of
Electrical and Communication Engineering, Research Institute of Electrical Communication (RIEC),
and New Industry Creation Hatchery Center (NICHe) are participating in this program. The NT-IT
research and educational center has three areas of research and development: (A) Basic Research and
Analysis/Evaluation Technology, (B) Semiconductor, Magnetic, Optical and Display Devices, and (C)
Computing and Transport Technology.
We look for 6 outstanding postdoctoral young researchers. The selected postdoctoral researchers
will be expected to work under the supervision of the distinguished professors participating in this
program. The initial term will start from anywhere between April 1 and June 1, 2004 and will end in
March 2005. Those who have achieved a satisfactory research activity will be able to extend the
contract. The decision will be made before the end of the contract of the initial period. Prospective
applicants are invited to email the following documents to "harada@ecei.tohoku.ac.jp": (a)
Curriculum vitae, (b) List of publications, (c) List of professional awards, (d) List of other social
activities, (e) The research field(s) chosen from (A)~(C) mentioned below, (f) Statement of the
research interests, and (g) Preferred starting date. Only the documents written in English will be
accepted. Those who want to use the postal mail should send the required materials by registered mail
to the following postal address:
