About this position
RIKEN is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher for the Nanoscale Quantum Photonics Laboratory at the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute in Saitama, Japan.
The project sits at the intersection of physics, materials science, chemistry, and electrical engineering, with a focus on quantum photonics, nanotechnology, low-dimensional materials, nanostructures, and optical/nanoscale spectroscopy. The successful candidate will join a RIKEN–IBS collaboration studying correlative optical and nanoscale spectroscopy of quantum states in low-dimensional materials and nanostructures, including work on carbon nanotubes, 2D materials, photonic crystals, microspectroscopy, and nanoscale devices.
This is a non-tenure-track contract position for one person. Applicants must hold a doctoral degree in a related field, have a strong publication record, and be proficient in written and spoken English. The role requires effective collaboration with researchers inside and outside the group.
Funding includes an annual salary starting at about 4 million JPY, with an approximate monthly total at hiring of 382,610 JPY or more, plus discretionary work, commuting, and housing allowances.
