About this position

RIKEN’s Laboratory for Developmental Dynamics (Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research, Kobe Campus, Japan) is recruiting for a Research Scientist, Postdoctoral Researcher, or Technical Scientist position focused on bioimaging data, database development, open science, data visualization, workflow, open-source software, and software development.

The project centers on the SSBD, an integrated database of bioimaging data. The successful candidate will contribute to one or more of the following: functional enhancement of SSBD, international collaborative R&D for a global bioimaging data sharing system, and development of a platform that accelerates the use of bioimaging data.

The laboratory’s broader research theme is predictive understanding of multicellular development through mathematical and computational approaches, combining molecular cell biology, biophysics, genome sciences, information sciences, and mathematical sciences. This makes the opportunity especially relevant for candidates interested in developmental biology, computational science, mathematical modeling, and research software/data infrastructure.

This is a contract position with an annual salary of about 4 million JPY. Depending on role and experience, monthly pay starts at 448,990 JPY or more for Research Scientist/Technical Scientist and 382,610 JPY or more for Postdoctoral Researcher.
