About this position

RIKEN’s Research Center for Environmental Resource Science is seeking a Special Research Fellow for its Bio-Catalysis Research Team at the Wako Campus in Saitama, Japan. This postdoctoral-equivalent role focuses on biocatalysis, interfacial chemistry, and chemical energy conversion.

The team develops artificial catalysts inspired by biological systems and builds new energy-conversion and materials-production systems that use or mimic biological functions. Its research explores catalytic reactions, electron and proton transport, metabolic control, environmental adaptability, and energy circulation in deep-sea environments. The broader goal is to create energy and resources while protecting the environment.

The fellow will investigate chemical energy conversion using solid/liquid or liquid/liquid interfaces as reaction fields. Possible project directions include synthesizing functional materials in microfluidic channels, measuring interfaces through in situ spectroscopy, or analyzing interfaces using computational science. Relevant research themes include electrochemistry, catalytic chemistry, spectrochemistry, materials chemistry, computational science, microfluidics, and solid–liquid and liquid–liquid interfaces.

The successful researcher will work within the Bio-Catalysis Research Team under the guidance and training of senior staff while developing the ability to conduct research autonomously and proactively. The team welcomes candidates with varied previous research themes who can contribute new expertise, communicate effectively in English, and collaborate with researchers inside and outside the group.

RIKEN offers an interdisciplinary research environment within a national research institute, with access to a research center focused on environmental resources, chemical technologies, and biological-function-inspired systems.

Funding details

Annual income is from 4 million yen, based on an annual salary system comprising fixed and variable salary components determined according to experience, skills, and performance.

What's required

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree obtained within the last five years or be able to obtain it by the start date. Candidates should have considerable practical experience in a relevant field such as materials chemistry, catalytic chemistry, spectrochemical chemistry, or computational science; be able to conduct research autonomously and proactively; communicate in English; and collaborate smoothly with internal and external collaborators. The position is intended for a special researcher/postdoctoral-level candidate.
