About this position

Kyoto University is recruiting a Special Research Fellow in the Graduate School of Informatics, Communication and Information Systems Course for research on fault-tolerant quantum computers.

The position is tied to the Moonshot Goal 6 project, focusing on theory and software for fault-tolerant quantum computing and novel quantum error correction methods. Research topics include development of quantum error correction methods, real-time error correction decoders, definition of quantum computer architectures, performance evaluation methods, and integrated evaluation/optimization of resources for quantum algorithms.

This is a postdoctoral-equivalent, fixed-term contract role at Kyoto University in Kyoto, Japan. The salary starts at approximately 4 million yen per year and is determined by ability and experience under university salary standards.

Eligibility requires a doctoral degree, or expectation of obtaining one by the start date, or equivalent research achievements. Preferred background includes quantum information, fundamental physics (condensed matter physics, statistics, elementary particles), or computer science (algorithms, architecture), along with interest in theoretical and software research for fault-tolerant quantum computers.

Applications must be submitted electronically through the JST JREC-IN Portal web application. Required materials include a CV, publication reprints/abstracts, research achievements list, research statement, and two referees' contact details. The application window runs from 2026-07-31 to 2027-03-31, and the post may close early once a suitable candidate is found.

Funding details

Contract researcher/postdoctoral equivalent position with an annual salary starting at about 4 million yen, determined by ability and experience according to Kyoto University salary standards.
