In April 2023, the Research Institute of Electrical Communication (RIEC) at Tohoku University established a new Interdisciplinary ICT Research Center for Cyber and Real Spaces. This initiative aims to accelerate the research and development of "telecommunication with nonverbal information" by integrating various disciplines. The center will synergize basic and applied AI research, networks and security, human sciences (psychology, brain sciences), human-computer interactions, and VR/AR/MR communication technologies to impact society with groundbreaking research results.
The institute is currently seeking candidates who can drive cutting-edge research in human-computer interactions, VR/AR/MR communication technologies, or AI within an interdisciplinary framework. The ideal candidates will collaborate both within the university and with our domestic and international partners to push the boundaries of innovation and advance the field, and to make meaningful impacts on society with their research results.
