About this position

Osaka University’s Quantum Information and Quantum Life Research Center (QIQB) is recruiting two full-time Specially Appointed Researchers, equivalent to postdoctoral researchers, in the Negoro Group. The researchers will contribute to quantum system software and middleware development under Professor Makoto Negoro’s NEDO project on quantum system software and middleware engineer training.

The work focuses on developing, maintaining, and operating software for transmitting and receiving microwaves to superconducting qubits, connecting systems to quantum cloud environments, and performing calibration. Duties also include project-related research and development, progress reporting, and participation in research meetings and presentations.

Applicants from a broad range of backgrounds are encouraged to apply, including software engineering, quantum information experiments, quantum software, computer science, computer architecture, FPGA, and microwave engineering. A bachelor’s degree in science or engineering, strong programming ability, and Japanese proficiency sufficient for work are required. Experience with team software development, quantum-computer R&D or operation, leadership, or long-term university or industry R&D is desirable.

The position is based at QIQB, Osaka University, 1-2 Machikaneyama-cho, Toyonaka, Osaka, Japan. It is a full-time fixed-term appointment beginning January 1, 2027, or as soon as possible thereafter. The contract runs through March 31, 2028, with possible renewal subject to performance and project continuation.

Annual compensation is ¥7,326,000–¥10,116,300, with commuting allowance and social insurance coverage. Applications are accepted in English or Japanese by email until November 16, 2026, although recruitment may close earlier once candidates are selected.

Funding details

Full-time fixed-term employment with an annual income of ¥7,326,000–¥10,116,300, paid monthly as one-twelfth of the annual base salary; the broader posting states an annual range of ¥7 million–¥11 million. Commuting allowance, health insurance, employees' pension insurance, workers' compensation insurance, and employment insurance are provided. The initial contract runs from the appointment date through March 31, 2028, with possible renewal subject to work continuation and performance evaluation

What's required

Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree in science or engineering, demonstrate a high level of programming ability, and be able to perform work in Japanese at a level that does not hinder job performance. A current research and development background is not required, but related R&D experience and enthusiasm for the duties are expected. Desirable qualifications include team software-development experience, practical experience researching, developing, or operating quantum computers, management or team-lead experience, and extensive research, development, or maintenance-management experience in a company or university.

How to apply

Prepare a CV, list of research and development achievements including developed program code or summaries, publications/books/patents, and a one-page statement of future research and development plans. Submit the documents as PDF files in English or Japanese by email to [email protected], using the subject line “Specially Appointed Researcher (Full-time) NS08 / Your Name.”
