About this position
The National Institute of Health Sciences (NIHS) is recruiting a Head of the Second Section within its Regenerative and Cellular Medicine Products Department. This senior research and leadership position is based at the institute in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan, and focuses on the scientific evaluation and oversight of regenerative medicine products and cell- or tissue-based medical devices.
The Second Section conducts testing, inspection and experimental manufacturing for regenerative medicine products intended to reconstruct, repair or form the structure or function of the human or animal body. Its work also covers medical devices manufactured using cells or tissues, together with the research needed to support these activities. The successful candidate will conduct research personally and supervise and oversee section members while contributing to related administrative support.
The role provides an opportunity to lead research spanning regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, stem cell biology and molecular biology. A major component is regulatory science research addressing the quality, safety and efficacy of regenerative medicine products. The section head will help connect basic and applied life-science research with national-level testing, inspection and product evaluation.
The position involves collaboration with researchers within and outside the institute, laboratory management and guidance of research staff, and participation in the mission of a national research institution under the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The research environment combines experimental science, medical technology evaluation and public-sector regulatory responsibilities.
The appointment is a full-time permanent research leadership role with an anticipated start date of April 1, 2027.
