About this position
High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow in Experimental Physics for the International Center for Quantum Field Measurement Systems (QUP), a World Premier International Research Center (WPI) initiative.
The position is based at QUP’s main research laboratories on KEK’s Tsukuba Campus in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. The research environment is centered on cutting-edge experimental physics and quantum field measurement systems, with projects connected to elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, cosmic rays, and astrophysics.
The successful candidate will work in collaboration with the QUP Principal Investigator on QUP experimental projects. The appointment is a fixed-term contract: one year initially, renewable for up to three years depending on performance, workload, necessity of the work, and budget situation.
Eligibility is for applicants who already hold a doctoral degree in physics or a related field, or who are expected to complete the doctorate by the time of appointment. Applications must be prepared in English and submitted only through AcademicJobsOnline. Required materials include a CV (with email address), research topic, list of publications, and three or more letters of recommendation.
Funding is employment-based rather than a scholarship: the annual income starts at 6 million yen, with salary determined by experience and achievements. Benefits include commuting allowance, possible housing allowance if eligible, bonus included in the base annual salary, telecommuting support, and standard health/pension/insurance coverage.
Deadline: September 30, 2026. Applications are accepted from August 6, 2026, and the posting notes that applications may continue until a suitable candidate is found.
