About this position

Fabien Cottier, Associate Professor at the IDEC Institute, Hiroshima University, is recruiting two postdoctoral researchers and one doctoral researcher (PhD) for a new research group in Japan starting in September 2026.

The project sits at the intersection of climate change, land, migration, and conflict, with a strong emphasis on quantitative research methods and the use of survey, census, administrative, and remote-sensing data. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in political science, social sciences, economics, environmental sciences, and related fields.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should have recently obtained a Master’s degree for the PhD position or a PhD for the postdoctoral positions. Candidates must also demonstrate proficiency in quantitative methods. Under EXPERT-J rules, applicants must have been affiliated with an institution outside Japan immediately before appointment.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis beginning 30 August. To apply, email a CV, cover letter, research project proposal (max 3 pages), one writing sample, and the names of two references to cottierf@hiroshima-u.ac.jp.
