Toshiba is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its Fellowship Programme and is looking for the brightest scientific minds in the UK to take part in research at one of its R and D centres in Japan.
The successful candidate will gain up to two year's experience in an industrial laboratory and will be able to develop their chosen specialist area, while receiving a generous package that includes relocation assistance.
The aim of the programme is for fellows to build on their experiences following their return from Japan to generate new combinations of ideas and knowledge.
The programme focuses on 15 research topics this year - applicants are also invited to suggest their own topics to demonstrate their knowledge and commitment.
This year's topics include: media technologies: a unified approach to automatic speech recognition and knowledge integration, statistical machine translation, emotional speech synthesis, and machine vision for object recognition; software: optimisation technologies for multi-core processor, assertion-oriented design method for highly dependable software, and wireless networks, software reliability of networked digital appliances and/or ubiquitous networks, reconfigurable wireless transceiver and cognitive radio, linearisation and efficiency improvement technologies for RF transmitter, information security and cryptography, and implementation of multi-mode wireless communication SoC; materials and devices: nano-structure analysis of films and devices by three-dimensional atom probe for spin-electronics, packaging technologies for semiconductor power module, developments of organic functional materials for future displays, and computational materials science of functional nano-scale materials.
The fellowship programme is open to PhD-level researchers of EU nationality, currently studying or working in a UK academic institution.
