About this position

Osaka University’s Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Life Science (QIQB) is recruiting a full-time Project Assistant Professor or Project Researcher for the MEXT Q-LEAP Quantum Information Processing Domain Quantum AI Flagship, “Research and Development and Application of Quantum Software through Intelligent Quantum Design.”

Working with project leader Associate Professor Iku Mizuta and in collaboration with Professor Keisuke Fujii’s project, the successful researcher will contribute to interdisciplinary research spanning quantum computing, quantum information theory, condensed matter theory and mathematical physics. The research includes fundamental quantum algorithms for early error-tolerance calculations and error-tolerant quantum computing, as well as applications of quantum computers to the simulation of quantum many-body systems.

QIQB brings together six research groups in quantum computing, quantum information fusion, quantum information devices, quantum communication and security, quantum measurement and sensing, and quantum life science. This environment supports collaboration across quantum research disciplines and encourages researchers to apply expertise from related areas to emerging problems in quantum algorithms and quantum software.

The Project Assistant Professor will combine education and research activities with project reporting, proposal preparation, research-promotion activities, and coordination of research meetings and reporting sessions. The Project Researcher will focus primarily on research, project reporting, and the implementation of research meetings and reporting sessions.

The positions are based at Osaka University’s Toyonaka campus in Osaka Prefecture, Japan, within the Quantum Information and Quantum Life Research Center.

Funding details

The position offers an annual income of at least ¥5,000,000. The basic annual salary is ¥5,598,300 or more for the Project Assistant Professor position and ¥5,178,600 or more for the Project Researcher position, paid monthly in twelfths and determined according to duties, performance and related factors.

What's required

Applicants must possess a doctoral degree or expect to obtain one by the date of employment. They must have research experience in quantum computing, quantum information, condensed matter theory, statistical physics, mathematical physics, theoretical computer science, or a related area, and be motivated to apply that expertise to quantum-algorithm research. Prior research experience with quantum algorithms is welcome but not required; proficiency in every listed theme is unnecessary.

How to apply

Prepare the required application documents as PDF files, use the subject line “Application for M2610 Desired Position at Quantum Information and Quantum Life Research Center / Your Name,” and email them to [email protected], replacing “(at)” with “@”. Applications must arrive by November 30, 2026; document review is followed by an interview, which may be conducted online.
