Job Opportunities

With "Co-Evolution of AI and Humans" as its defining motto, the Artificial Intelligence Research Center (AIRC) aims to promote a society in which humans and AI work in a collaborative manner to solve problems. AIRC also advocates the embedding of AI in the real world, and aims to bring AI technology developed in the Internet space into real-world services that are important in Japan, such as manufacturing, medical care, nursing care, drug discovery, and mobility, in order to enrich various human activities.

To achieve these goals, we have defined three R&D pillars: 1) Cooperative AI, 2) Dependable AI, and 3) Engineerable AI. We conduct large-scale research activities in collaboration with domestic and international universities, research institutions, companies, and other public organizations. Our world-class research environment includes the "AI Bridging Cloud (ABCI)," a large-scale computational resource that is one of AIST's greatest strengths, the "Cyber Physical Systems Research Facility" as a testbed for on-site data collection technology, human measurement and modeling technology, collaboration with the Material Science and Drug Discovery Groups, and so on.

The AIRC is seeking a wide range of researchers to participate in these research activities. Research areas are expected to include machine learning, natural language processing, pattern recognition, real-world sensing, modeling, and knowledge representation, but are not limited to these; we also welcome new proposals aimed at the creation of next-generation AI technologies.
