OIST and AIST have launched a joint Career Development Project to help students and researchers explore research and career opportunities in Japan. The project includes seminars, lab tours, and internships, particularly for those interested in research roles at domestic institutions like AIST. The first event features quantum researchers from AIST’s G-QuAT presenting their work and participating in a career Q&A session. All interested participants are welcome.
