About this position
Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI) is recruiting a permanent researcher / technical staff for the JASRI Nano Terrace Research Center Branch Office in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. The position is centered on energy and quantum beam science, with work related to the 3GeV high-brightness synchrotron radiation facility NanoTerasu.
The successful candidate will provide operational and experimental support for shared-use beamlines, support coalition beamlines, automate analytical instruments, and help promote digital transformation (DX). The role also allows opportunities to conduct related research and to apply for external funding. JASRI emphasizes collaboration with researchers from universities, national research institutes, and industry to expand NanoTerasu-related outputs.
This is a full-time position with no fixed term, although a fixed-term researcher arrangement may be proposed first depending on the selection process. The salary is experience-based, with annual income roughly in the 4–6 million yen range and model examples reaching higher levels with experience. Benefits include bonuses, commuting allowance, housing allowance, retirement benefits, and full social insurance coverage.
Eligibility includes a science or engineering degree at the Ph.D., master's, or bachelor's level, or equivalent ability. The post is suitable for candidates with interests in synchrotron radiation, beamline operations, experimental support, analytical instrumentation, automation, and collaborative research. The institute notes that the work location is the Tohoku University International Synchrotron Radiation Innovation Smart Research Building (SRIS Building) in Sendai, with possible work at SPring-8 in Hyogo Prefecture as needed.
Deadline: 2027-01-29 (applications accepted from 2026-09-18; review proceeds sequentially and may close once the quota is filled).
