[TYPES/announce] Assist./Assoc. Professor Positions at NII, Tokyo

[Ichiro Hasuo]

[Apologies for multiple copies]

Our institute (National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo, Japan) has open
positions for assistant and associate professors.
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nii.ac.jp/en/about/recruit/2025/0521.html__;!!IBzWLUs!RXUOGbjifMz0Ro_NV90vzSzHlrWkI-vKLHU460aT85KnID7IIMMml0S14J6W0H4_Y2okZ8yDnqTEhzpC8ey0hk-h_KL3$ 
They are like tenure-track positions, but granting tenure is reserved for
exceptional cases. The initial term is for seven years.

I am writing to you, as a member of the institute, to seek your
attention to this opportunity. This email is not an official announcement,
and I cannot speak for the institute. But I can certainly speak about my
experience:

   - Research is the top priority here. Little teaching (~ one course every
   two years for me); no undergrad students.
   - You can still recruit and supervise grad students.
   - Speaking Japanese is not needed at all (though it'll help your daily
   life).
   - I enjoy scientific freedom. Yes, freedom.

The open positions are for all disciplines of informatics, and the
competition will be tough, but you may still be interested in applying.

I might not get to respond to all informal inquiries sent to me (I'll do my
best). On formal matters, please ask the institute (

matters, our informal descriptions here may help you
