About this position
RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator Science is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher or Research Scientist in the Nuclear Dynamics Research Group at the RIKEN Wako Campus in Saitama, Japan.
The position focuses on nuclear physics, especially the production and analysis of new nuclear states, nuclear reactions and dynamic phenomena, order formation in unbound states and infinite nuclear matter, and related studies of element transmutation. The successful candidate will also work with the MSQD Joint Research Group on quantum science across quark and nucleus hierarchies.
A major part of the role is the development of AC-coupled low-gain avalanche diodes (AC-LGAD) for detector arrays used in RIBF experiments and TOF detectors for the EIC project, along with physics research using these detectors. The post is tied to advanced semiconductor detector development and experimental nuclear/particle physics instrumentation.
This is a contract, non-tenured research position. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in a related field or expect to earn one by the hiring date. The post is open as either Postdoctoral Researcher or Research Scientist, with assignment based on qualifications and experience.
Funding includes an annual salary starting from about 4 million yen, with commuting and housing allowances and social insurance. The position requires on-site attendance at RIKEN Wako Campus; telecommuting is generally not available for this role.
The application deadline is 2026-09-30 (JST). Apply online through the RIKEN careers page and submit the required documents via the recruiting institution's web application system.
