About this position

RIKEN is recruiting a Research Scientist or Postdoctoral Researcher in the Nuclear Transmutation Technology Group at the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science. The position is centered on nuclear engineering, quantum beam science, fundamental plasma, and nuclear fusion, with research on particle accelerators, beam-driven plasma, low-energy beamlines, and high-intensity accelerator systems.

The successful candidate will participate in Moonshot Goal 10 and work on simulations of ion beams and beam-generated plasma in the low-energy transport system of a high-intensity accelerator. The group also develops superconducting RF cavities for low-velocity ions, high-power accelerator design, and high-power target systems for future nuclear transmutation applications.

This is a contract, non-tenure-track position based at RIKEN Wako Campus, Saitama, Japan. The post is open to candidates with a Ph.D. in physics or a related field, or those expected to complete the Ph.D. by the start date. Research Scientist and Postdoctoral Researcher categories are both listed, with the distinction based on years since the doctorate.

Funding includes an annual salary starting from about 4 million yen, with monthly pay at hire of at least 448,990 JPY for Research Scientist or 382,610 JPY for Postdoctoral Researcher, plus commuting and housing allowances and social insurance. The position is expected to start as early as possible.
