About this position
Osaka University’s Protein Research Institute is recruiting a full-time fixed-term researcher at postdoctoral-equivalent level in the Functional Structure Measurement Group. The position is based in Suita, Osaka, Japan, within a research environment focused on advanced experimental studies of proteins, biomaterials, and material interfaces.
The group uses an independently developed and maintained high-field spin-hyperpolarized solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer to investigate the molecular structure, chemical states, dynamics, and intermolecular interactions of protein assemblies and biomass materials. Its facilities also support collaborative research with domestic and international academic partners as well as industry.
The successful researcher will conduct structural and dynamic research on biomaterials and material interfaces. Core activities include examining molecular structure, interactions, and kinetics primarily through solid-state NMR; investigating material-interface dynamics using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS); and assisting with NMR equipment maintenance and external research-use requests. Experience with solid-state NMR, electron spin resonance (ESR), or SANS is particularly relevant.
The role offers an opportunity to work at the intersection of biophysics, chemical physics, soft matter physics, protein science, and materials science, while contributing to collaborative measurement activities and the operation of specialized research infrastructure.
