The position also involves collaborative research reporting and schedule management with partner companies.

Applicants should have a master's or PhD degree and experience in a series of genetic engineering experiments, including plasmid design and construction. Preferred experience includes microbial substance production, jar fermenter culture, project/team management, and collaborative research with industry or academia. Business-level English is also preferred.

This is a fixed-term contract role (1 year, with possible conversion to permanent employment by mutual agreement after one year). Salary starts at 5 million yen annually, with researcher and senior researcher ranges listed up to 11 million yen annually.
