Hiroshima University

Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

Hiroshima University (HU) herewith makes an open international job offer and seeks to appoint a Professor with tenure, Associate Professor with tenure, or Associate Professor/Assistant Professor on the Tenure Track System in the research area of Behavioral Economics and Behavioral Science. This position is based on the `Policy for recruiting/cultivating excellent faculty members'. The university introduced this policy to create a secure environment in which junior-positioned faculty members can concentrate on their research/education.

The post above has been newly created at HU to enable the promotion of the applicant to the senior position of Associate Professor on the condition that he/she pass the tenure-track review before the tenure-track period expires. Such a system assumes that the recruited person will settle down in one place so that he/she can dedicate himself/herself to research and education in accordance with his/her proposed research.

Therefore, when processing an application for recruitment, we evaluate not only each applicant's performance on research/education, but also the contents and the scope of his/her research plan. Thus, we assess whether or not the applicant's research plan is mid-to-long term (i.e. about 10 years) in scope, exceeding the tenure-track period. At the time of the review for the tenured promotion, we comprehensively evaluate the applicant's achievements during his/her term at HU and the prospects of his/her research.

We are looking forward to welcoming those who are prepared to go along with the principles, long-term vision, and medium-term target of HU, and who are motivated and can play key roles by committing themselves to research and education at HU.
