Description du poste
募集の背景、プロジェクトの説明 The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) has been playing a key role in the development of solar-stellar research by acquiring and accumulating observation data delivered for research on solar activity. NAOJ has the Solar Science Observatory (SOL) Project, which operates ground-based facilities (Mitaka telescopes, Nobeyama radio polarimeter), and contributes to the operation of the currently running satellite HINODE as well as the development of the EUV High-throughput Spectroscopic Telescope (EUVST) aboard the satellite mission SOLAR-C in cooperation with the SOLAR-C project. The SOL project drives the development of advanced technology for next-generation solar observations through the CLASP and FOXSI rocket experiments and the SUNRISE balloon project. The SOL project is also expected to maintain international research competitiveness with a suite of solar satellite missions and existing ground-based facilities. 仕事内容・職務内容 We invite applications for an assistant professor position to contribute to the Solar Science Observatory and the SOLAR-C project and to pursue cutting-edge solar-stellar physics and space weather research using ground- and space-based facilities associated with NAOJ. The successful candidate will undertake the following duties, with responsibilities tailored to their experience and expertise:
(1) Build and sustain an integrated solar-observation capability across space- and ground-based assets by supporting existing facilities (HINODE and Mitaka telescopes) and planning SOLAR-C operations prior to launch. After SOLAR-C launch, lead coordinated observations and joint analyses with HINODE and ground-based telescopes to maximize scientific return, particularly for space-weather research.
(2) Lead optical performance verification for SOLAR-C EUVST and serve as the technical liaison for an internationally developed component, bridging science-driven optical requirements with subsystem development. Collaborate with JAXA and overseas institutes to plan and conduct optical alignment and verification tests, and assess the instrument’s end-to-end performance.
(3) The successful candidate will contribute to the Observatory and NAOJ as a whole through committee service and public outreach, and will support graduate education at SOKENDAI by lecturing and supervising graduate students.
