About this position

Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI) is recruiting a permanent researcher for the NanoTerasu Center / User Research Division branch office in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. This is a researcher/postdoc-equivalent position focused on quantum beam science and synchrotron radiation support at the 3GeV high-brightness facility NanoTerasu.

The role involves operational and experimental support for shared-use beamlines, plus development of measurement and analysis technologies that expand NanoTerasu applications. Main methods include RIXS, XAS, XPS, imaging, and SAXS/WAXS. The institute also notes possible related research, external funding applications, and collaboration with universities, national research institutes, and industry.

Openings are listed for soft X-ray spectroscopy/imaging, soft X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and tender X-ray diffraction/scattering teams. The post is full-time, with no fixed term, though the institute may initially propose fixed-term employment depending on the selection outcome.

Eligibility: a doctoral degree, expected PhD completion by March 2027, or equivalent ability; plus at least two years of synchrotron radiation experimental experience using one of the listed methods. The posting emphasizes responsibility across shared beamlines and possible work at NanoTerasu and SPring-8.

Funding / compensation: annual income is stated at roughly 4–6 million yen, with model salaries higher depending on experience. Benefits include bonuses, commuting and housing allowances, retirement allowance, and full social insurance coverage.

Deadline: applications are due by 2027-01-29 (must arrive by this date), with rolling review until the position is filled.

How to apply: submit the required documents by email to [email protected]. A recommendation letter must be sent directly by the recommender to the same address. Use the specified subject line and file naming instructions in the announcement.
