HOME > News & Information > Recruitment > Recruitment for a Special Topic Researcher (Researcher, Fixed Term position) Tono Geoscience Center (TGC)
Number of employees
Researcher:1 person
Recruitment theme
Theme: Research and development of isotope geochronology, geology, and geochemistry for better understanding geological environment change.
This research theme aims to develop elemental techniques for precise estimation of short- and long-term geomorphic/geologic histories, including the processes, patterns and rates, based on approaches of geology, geophysics, geochemistry, geomorphology, isotope geochronology, groundwater science and Quaternary research.
The theme we are particularly interested in is as follows:
“Elucidation of Quaternary volcanic activity and magma processes based on isotopic chemical research”
This research theme is carried out as part of projects funded by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). These recruitments assumes that METI entrusts the project to JAEA.
