About this position
RIKEN’s Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science is recruiting for a fixed-term position in the Accelerator Research Division, Cyclotron Team, at the Wako campus in Saitama, Japan.
The opening is for one of the following roles: Special Research Fellow, Development Research Fellow, or Technical Staff I. The work centers on accelerator fundamentals, heavy-ion beam development, beam intensity and stability improvement, and the operation, maintenance, and management of accelerators and beamlines. The broader research context includes radioisotope production, accelerator-based science, nuclear physics, high-energy/particle-related experiments, and quantum beam science.
Eligible backgrounds vary by role: a recent PhD or expected PhD for Special Research Fellow; at least five years of relevant research or practical experience for Development Research Fellow; or a science/engineering university or technical college degree, or equivalent experience, for Technical Staff I. Prior accelerator R&D experience is not required, but applicants should have relevant technical knowledge, strong collaboration skills, and Japanese communication ability.
Funding is employment-based rather than a scholarship: annual income starts from about 3 million yen, with estimated monthly salaries listed for each role. The position includes discretionary work allowance, commuting allowance, housing allowance, and social insurance. It is a fixed-term appointment with possible renewal up to March 31, 2030, subject to evaluation and institutional conditions.
The application deadline is March 31, 2027, though the search may close earlier once a suitable candidate is selected. Applications must be submitted through the RIKEN recruitment website; email and JREC-IN web applications are not accepted.
