About this position

Osaka University Dental Hospital in Suita, Osaka, Japan, is recruiting one full-time specially appointed research fellow/research and development engineer equivalent for collaborative digital health research in dentistry and oral surgery.

The successful candidate will implement and integrate research systems rather than independently develop AI models from scratch. Responsibilities include understanding and modifying Python programs; adding functionality; coordinating APIs, external services, data input/output, and interfaces; integrating software and technical components from researchers, industry partners, and external technical staff; building and evaluating research prototypes; conducting integration tests; troubleshooting; collecting logs; organizing data; performing basic performance and stability analysis; preparing technical documentation; and contributing to conference presentations and papers when appropriate.

Applicants do not need an academic degree. Practical experience in company-based software development, research and development, proof-of-concept work, or system integration is welcomed. Required capabilities include Python development, code modification, external libraries and APIs, multi-system integration, and effective collaboration with researchers and technical partners. Japanese proficiency sufficient for the role is required.

The position is a fixed-term, non-tenure-track contract with an annual income of 6–7 million yen. The initial appointment runs until November 30, 2027, with possible renewal under Osaka University regulations. The workplace is Osaka University Dental Hospital, 1-8 Yamadaoka, Suita City, Osaka Prefecture. Applications must arrive by 17:00 on December 4, 2026.
