About this position

Public recruitment for a Project Researcher (postdoc-equivalent) in Laser Spectroscopy and Analysis at the Hasegawa Laboratory, Department of Nuclear Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo.

The lab develops new measurement techniques for detecting and analyzing trace radionuclides in solids, liquids, and gases at the isotopic level using laser spectroscopy. Research themes include ultra-high-sensitivity and high-selectivity methods based on light-matter interaction, such as laser cooling, multi-stage multi-wavelength laser excitation, and resonator-enhanced absorption.

This opportunity is aligned with research interests in physics, nuclear engineering, quantum beam science, atomic physics, materials characterization, environmental science, and radiation science. The position is a fixed-term contract role, not tenure-track, with a probationary period.

Eligibility: Applicants must hold a doctoral degree in a science/engineering field, or be expected to obtain one before the start date. Experience is not strictly required, but the lab seeks motivated researchers who can work proactively, adapt to changing research conditions, and communicate with related institutions in Japanese.

Funding: Annual income is approximately 3–5 million yen, with a monthly salary around 330,000–370,000 yen depending on qualifications and experience, plus performance bonuses and commuting allowance (up to 55,000 yen/month in principle).

Location: Work is based in Ibaraki, Japan, with an additional Tokyo address listed for the department.

Deadline: Applications are accepted from September 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027, and may close earlier once a suitable candidate is found.

How to apply: Submit the University of Tokyo standardized resume, list of achievements, representative peer-reviewed papers, and a 1–2 page summary of previous research. Applications can be sent by email and/or postal mail to Hasegawa Laboratory. Results will be communicated by email.
