About this position

Tohoku University is recruiting a research fellow / postdoctoral equivalent for the Molecular Robot Explorers project (Group E01, Nomura Laboratory) in Sendai, Miyagi, Japan.

The position sits at the intersection of molecular robotics, nanobioscience, biophysics, computer science, and robotics. The successful candidate will contribute to a DBTL (Design-Build-Test-Learn) cycle that combines AI-based molecular design, automated experiments, and data-lake/XAI-driven knowledge extraction. Example themes include AI-driven de novo protein design and evaluation, automated preparation and function measurement of liposome/droplet-type molecular robots, DNA molecular components, DNA state machines/circuits, and biomarker-to-DNA reaction systems.

The role is based in the Robotics Major, Molecular Robotics Field, Nomura Laboratory, at Tohoku University’s Aobayama Campus. The appointment is fixed-term through March 31, 2027, with possible annual renewal depending on performance, evaluation, and project budget. Salary is approximately 4–6 million yen per year, with commuting allowance, housing allowance, retirement allowance, and social insurance benefits.

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree or be expected to obtain one by the time of appointment. Applications are accepted from 2026-08-17 to 2026-09-30 and may close early once a suitable candidate is found. Online interviews are available.
