About this position
Tohoku University’s Graduate School of Engineering is recruiting a part-time researcher / technical assistant in the Department of Applied Chemistry at the Aobayama Campus in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan.
The position is centered on experimental support and related laboratory tasks in nanostructure chemistry, functional chemistry, and inorganic and coordination chemistry, with a strong materials-science component. Duties include chemical experiments such as synthesis, thin-film fabrication, and instrumental analysis, as well as equipment cleaning, reagent and supply ordering, equipment maintenance, and computer-based data organization, analysis, graphing, and summary preparation.
This opening is suitable for candidates with backgrounds in chemistry, materials science, physics, or pharmacy. A bachelor’s degree is acceptable, and a master’s degree in chemistry, physics, or materials science is considered an advantage. Prior experience is not required; the lab explicitly welcomes applicants who are motivated to learn and contribute even without previous hands-on experience.
The appointment is fixed-term and part-time, with an hourly wage of 1,259–1,556 yen. Candidates with a master’s or doctoral degree may receive a higher wage depending on experience and suitability. Standard benefits include commuting allowance and social insurance coverage where applicable.
