This postdoctoral project at the CNRS explores how to control the permeability of water-in-water emulsions stabilized by self-assembled lyotropic phases at the droplet interface. These emulsions, formed from phase separation in aqueous polymer solutions such as PEG and dextran, are attractive for encapsulation and controlled release of hydrophilic molecules without oil or organic solvent. The research sits within the ANR SHEILA project and focuses on making interfacial transport stimulus-respons...

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.

Funding details

Fixed-term full-time researcher/postdoctoral-equivalent contract with an annual income of 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 Japanese yen. The appointment includes workers' compensation insurance, employment insurance, membership in the National Public Service Mutual Aid Association, and a commuting allowance system. The contract runs from appointment until March 31, 2028, with possible renewal subject to work continuation and performance evaluation, within the applicable maximum contract limit.

What's required

Applicants must hold a doctorate. Experience in at least one of solid-state NMR, electron spin resonance (ESR), or small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is especially welcome. Applicants should have sufficient experience and skills to conduct structural and dynamic research on biomaterials and material interfaces.

How to apply

Prepare the specified electronic application documents, including a resume, achievement list, up to three major-paper reprints, a research and teaching activity summary, and post-appointment research aspirations. Email the complete application to [email protected], replacing “(at)” with “@”.
