About this position
The National Institute of Health Sciences is recruiting a researcher/postdoctoral-equivalent staff member for its Department of Organic Chemistry in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan. The department conducts organic chemical testing, synthesis, structural analysis and structure–activity relationship research supporting the institute’s work on pharmaceuticals, quasi-drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, food-related substances and other products relevant to public health.
The successful researcher will focus on testing and research for the evaluation of the quality, safety and efficacy of radiopharmaceuticals. The work will draw on pharmaceutical chemistry, drug discovery science, pharmaceutical analysis and physical chemistry, together with organic synthesis, structural determination and analytical methods. The role also includes contributing to administrative support activities related to radiopharmaceutical quality and safety.
The position is based within the existing Department of Organic Chemistry at the National Institute of Health Sciences, a national research institution under the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The researcher will be expected to conduct testing and research independently while collaborating with researchers inside and outside the institute, and to participate in a research environment connecting experimental organic chemistry with regulatory and public-health responsibilities.
The appointment is a full-time, permanent researcher position with researcher/postdoctoral-equivalent status. The institute provides a working environment focused on applied pharmaceutical and analytical research relevant to the safe development and evaluation of radiopharmaceuticals.
