About this position

RIKEN’s Center for Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences (iTHEMS) is recruiting a few researchers for its Division of Fundamental Mathematical Science, with appointments available at the levels of Senior Research Scientist, Research Scientist, and Postdoctoral Researcher. The division is led by Division Director Satoshi Iso, and the roles are based at the RIKEN Wako Campus in Saitama, Japan.

The center is an international research environment built to connect theoretical, mathematical, and computational sciences across disciplines. Its broader mission is to advance understanding of the universe, matter, life, and key modern societal problems through interdisciplinary approaches. Within that setting, the division conducts mathematical basic research linked to areas such as mathematics, materials, life, space, computing, and information.

The successful candidates will be expected to contribute to research in theoretical physics in a broad sense and related fields, while actively collaborating with researchers at iTHEMS, at RIKEN, and beyond. The senior role includes a stronger emphasis on planning and coordinating research activities and mentoring early-career researchers, while the research scientist and postdoctoral roles focus on independent research and participation in collaborative interdisciplinary projects.

This opening is designed for researchers who want to work across disciplinary boundaries and engage with a center that explicitly values collaboration among mathematics, physics, biology, and related theoretical and computational fields.

Funding details

Paid fixed-term research positions with annual salary based on experience, ability, and performance; approximate monthly total at hiring is 600,000 JPY or more for Senior Research Scientist, 550,000 JPY or more for Research Scientist, and 480,000 JPY or more for Postdoctoral Researcher. Discretionary work, commuting, and housing allowances are provided, and social insurance applies.

What's required

The candidate should possess, or be expected to obtain, a doctoral degree by the starting date. Applicants should be strongly motivated to promote research in theoretical physics and related fields and to work interdisciplinarily across mathematics, physics, and biology. The application materials request a CV, publication list, research statement, research proposal, interdisciplinary statement, and two recommendation letters; the CV should include the job position number 26-1583.

How to apply

Upload the application documents through the AcademicJobsOnline page. Include the job position number 26-1583 in the notes section of your CV. Two recommendation letters and the personal-information consent form are required.
