About this position

Kanazawa University’s Nano Life Science Institute (NanoLSI) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher in nanobioscience and nanometrology. The position is centered on developing a combined system integrating AFM (atomic force microscopy) and SICM (scanning ion conduction microscopy) to observe local structures within cells and sample the observed structures.

The institute is a world-class research center under Japan’s WPI program and works across nanometrology, life science, supramolecular chemistry, and computational science. The broader research environment includes molecular sensor development, nanoprobe sensors, substrate modification for AFM/SICM, and data-driven analysis using simulation, machine learning, and statistical methods.

This opening is for a full-time, fixed-term researcher at Kanazawa University in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. The appointment begins on or after 2027-04-01 and runs until 2028-03-31, with possible renewal up to a total of 3 years. Salary starts at around 4 million yen per year, and social insurance is included.

Applicants should hold a doctoral degree by the start date (or expect to obtain one), be able to conduct research in English, communicate effectively, present research, and write papers. Experience in international collaborative research is desirable, and prior work with AFM/SICM or other SPM technologies is a plus. Experience with biomolecules and cells is also desirable.

To apply, prepare the required documents in English and email them to the NanoLSI office. The deadline is 2026-12-15, and the selection process includes document screening and interview(s) for shortlisted candidates.
