About this position

National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) is recruiting a fixed-term researcher / postdoc-equivalent for research and development on millimeter-wave and terahertz-wave device and module performance evaluation.

The position is based at the Future ICT Research Institute, Koganei Frontier Research Center, Ultra-High Frequency ICT Laboratory in Tokyo, Japan. The work focuses on fundamental technologies for practical terahertz-band wireless communication, including performance evaluation of semiconductor devices operating in the millimeter-wave and terahertz bands and wireless transmission experiments using transceiver modules.

Research themes include development of performance evaluation technologies for components, antennas, modules, and constituent materials, as well as design and prototyping technologies for compound semiconductor electronic devices, active and passive elements such as Si-CMOS, transceiver modules, waveguide components, antennas, and related modules.

Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent in science or engineering and should have knowledge and experience in device evaluation for millimeter-wave/terahertz systems, including use of network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and real-time oscilloscopes. Strong research motivation and the ability to collaborate creatively are also required.

The appointment is fixed-term, from the date of employment to March 31, 2027, with renewal possible and up to 5 years total if conditions are met. Salary is listed at 6–7 million yen annually (about 541,000–558,000 yen/month), with various allowances available if eligible.
