About this position
RIKEN is recruiting one Researcher or Senior Researcher, equivalent to a postdoctoral-level research position, for the Nuclear Transmutation Data Research and Development Office at the Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science. The appointment will be based at the RIKEN Wako Campus in Wako, Saitama, Japan.
The project addresses the production of high-level radioactive waste and the development of nuclear transmutation technologies to shorten the lifetime or stabilize long-lived radionuclides. The successful candidate will promote research and development involving the acquisition of nuclear transmutation data using negative muons, muon-induced nuclear reactions, detector development, and related applications. The work is connected with RIBF and other accelerator facilities and focuses on the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
Applicants must hold a PhD and have at least 10 years of research and development experience in acquiring nuclear transmutation data using negative muons. One position is available, with the job title determined according to the candidate's abilities and aptitude. The starting date is April 1, 2027 or later, negotiable.
The position is a one-year fixed-term contract, renewable for up to two years from the employment date subject to evaluation and institutional or project conditions. Annual income starts at 5 million yen; the estimated starting monthly salary is at least 448,585 yen for a Researcher and 535,570 yen for a Senior Researcher, including the discretionary work allowance. Commuting and housing allowances, social insurance, and other benefits are provided.
