Call for RIKEN ECL Unit Leaders (Sechi Kato Program) – RIKEN Early Career Leaders Program (FY 2024)

締め切り: 2023年6月26日

RIKEN offers junior Principal Investigator (PI) positions, RIKEN ECL Unit Leaders (ECL Unit Leaders), for exceptionally talented female researchers for a maximum of 5 years. The purpose of this program is to provide excellent young researchers with an opportunity to promote their own unique research independently as a laboratory head, to develop themselves as researchers with international leadership, and to create the next generation of science and technology fields. The ECL Unit Leaders are expected to ambitiously challenge their own unique research topics at the host research centers. This program is open to female researchers in natural and mathematical sciences and can include research areas bordering the humanities and social sciences. -Who was Sechi Kato? – Sechi Kato (1893-1989) was a pioneering female scientist who developed spectrometric analysis of organic materials. She was also the first female Chief Scientist of RIKEN.

Exploring GPT’s Influence on Natural Science and Mathematics on May 17, 2023

The emergence of ChatGPT has shocked the world. Its influence on our society is inestimable, both for its possibility and its potential risk. Together with MLPhys (Foundation of “Machine Learning Physics”), we held a workshop “Exploring GPT’s Influence on Natural Science and Mathematics” on 17th May, to discuss the influence of GPT particularly on natural science and mathematics. An introductory lecture on GPT (generative pre-trained transformer) and LLM (large language model) was given by Mr. Shota Imai (The University of Tokyo), and an introductory lecture on proof assistant system (automated theorem proving) was given by Dr. Yoshihiro Mizoguchi (Kyushu University). Around 30 people attended in place, and over 400 people attended the workshop online. Lively discussion took place among specialists of Mathematics, Physics and Computer science.
