About this position

Tokyo Polytechnic University is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow (PD) in the Optical Design I Laboratory at the Faculty of Engineering, Atsugi Campus, Kanagawa, Japan.

The position supports research aimed at realizing a 10 nm-resolution microscope operating in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray regions. The project includes experimental work on optical design, multilayer mirror deposition, precise wavefront measurement for EUV optical systems, and microscopic observation techniques including sample preparation.

Possible research themes include: (1) photonics and laser development, (2) thin-film deposition and evaluation by sputtering, and (3) nanoscale video observation of light-element materials such as polymers and battery materials using EUV microscopy. The lab welcomes candidates with a strong interest in engineering-oriented instrument development and scientific research. Prior EUV or soft X-ray experience is not required.

Eligibility: applicants must hold a doctoral degree or be expected to obtain one.

Funding and conditions: annual income starts at 6 million yen, with transportation expenses reimbursed. The appointment is fixed-term, starting April 1, 2027, for up to 5 years, subject to review.
