About this position
The Department of Physics in the Graduate School of Science at The University of Tokyo is seeking a specially appointed researcher at the postdoctoral-equivalent level for research in quantum light, light–matter interaction, two-dimensional materials, and optoelectronics.
The researcher will join the JST Strategic Basic Research Program CREST project “Quantum Fusion Foundation of Light and Matter Opened Up by Non-Gaussian Quantum Light”. The work will investigate the fundamental physical properties of two-dimensional materials using electric double-layer transistors and pursue new photoelectric conversion phenomena. Applicants are also welcome to propose research directions related to the project.
The position is based in Zhang Laboratory within the Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science, at the University of Tokyo. The research environment connects condensed matter physics, quantum optics, advanced materials, transistor devices, and photoelectric conversion. Experience with two-dimensional materials or electric double-layer transistors is not essential, making the opportunity suitable for researchers who can contribute from adjacent backgrounds in physics, materials science, electrical engineering, or related fields.
The appointment is a fixed-term research position associated with the CREST project and is expected to involve collaborative work in a university research setting.
