About this position

The National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology is recruiting a Senior Researcher/Postdoctoral-equivalent researcher for its Department of Disease Genome Research within the Medical Genome Center. The position is based in Obu, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, and focuses on genomic and omics research into age-related diseases.

The successful researcher will analyze biomolecules from patients with diseases including dementia, musculoskeletal disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. The work combines comprehensive genomic and omics analysis with genetic statistics, genomic medicine, and molecular biology to identify disease-related molecules and clarify disease mechanisms.

Research activities include developing disease-onset prediction methods such as polygenic risk scores and biomarkers, elucidating disease pathways and the broader causes of disease, exploring molecules relevant to drug discovery and drug repositioning, and analyzing molecular functions. The researcher will contribute to innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches based on large-scale patient-derived data.

In addition to independent research responsibilities, the role involves participation in projects across the Department of Disease Genome Research, guidance for researchers' theses, and technical instruction for assistants. The research environment connects clinical disease samples, genome-scale data, molecular analysis, statistical genetics, and translational medical research.

The appointment is for a five-year fixed term, with reappointment subject to review.

Funding details

Annual income is approximately 7,000,000–8,000,000 Japanese yen, paid according to the Center's employee salary regulations. The full-time position includes a bonus, retirement allowance, commuting allowance, and employment, workers' compensation, health, and employees' pension insurance.

What's required

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree in medicine, pharmacy, biology, science, information science, or a related field. Required experience includes identifying disease-related molecules through genomic and omics analysis of human biological samples from geriatric disease patients; molecular-function analysis; development of disease-onset prediction methods such as polygenic risk scores and biomarkers; and drug discovery, including drug repositioning. The role also involves thesis guidance and technical instruction for assistants. Application materials include a resume, publication and achievement list, up to five major-paper reprints, a summary of past research and five-year research aspirations within 2,000 characters, and either a recommendation letter or contact details for two referees.

How to apply

Submit the required documents electronically by email and by mail to the Personnel Section Chief, Personnel Division, General Affairs Department, National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology. Email applications should be sent to [email protected], replacing “(at)” with “@”; postal applications should be sent to 7-430 Morioka-cho, Obu City, Aichi Prefecture 474-8511, Japan.
