About this position

Kobe University is advertising an open call for a Research Fellow (H) in the Biotechnology field at the Advanced Biotechnology Research Center. The position is research-focused and part-time, fixed-term, and non-tenure-track.

The work centers on microbiology, metabolic engineering, enzyme engineering, and bio-process engineering. The successful candidate will acquire metabolism- and enzyme-related data from microorganisms such as E. coli and yeast, perform enzyme assays and multi-sample experiments using automated dispensing systems, and analyze data with high-performance computing. The broader goal is to understand microbial physiological functions and support the social implementation of bio-manufacturing.

Eligibility emphasizes a doctoral degree (or expected completion), or corporate researcher experience. The post also seeks someone who can work collaboratively and actively use data science in research. English communication ability is mentioned as not required.

Funding is salary-based rather than a scholarship: the hourly wage is 2,157–2,335 yen, with commuting allowance available and standard university leave/insurance provisions depending on work type.

The work location is in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, including the Rokkodai Second Campus and the Port Island research site. Applications are accepted by email or postal mail; JREC-IN web application is not available. Required documents include a CV, research history, major papers, motivation statement, and referee contacts. The deadline is 2027-03-31, though the search may close earlier once a suitable candidate is found.
