About this position

RIKEN’s Brain Science Institute is recruiting a Research Fellow / Postdoctoral Fellow for the Molecular Psychopathology Research Team in Wako, Saitama, Japan.

The project focuses on the biological basis of neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, and autism spectrum disorder, with an emphasis on genomics, genome biology, multi-omics, single-cell and spatial omics, and analysis of disease models. The lab also uses statistical analysis of large-scale human genome and omics data, machine learning, deep learning, and high-performance computing.

Applicants must have a doctoral degree already or expect to obtain one by the hiring date. The team especially welcomes candidates with experience in genome/omics data analysis, machine learning, single-cell or spatial omics, high-throughput functional analysis, disease organoids, or advanced computing approaches. Strong scientific integrity, logical thinking, and motivation for independent research are emphasized.

This is a fixed-term contract position. Salary starts at about 4 million yen per year, with additional allowances such as commuting and housing support, and social insurance is provided. The work location is Wako Campus, Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

Applications are accepted until 2026-10-03, though the search may close earlier once a suitable candidate is found. Apply through the official RIKEN posting and/or by email to [email protected].
