About this position

Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, is recruiting a Specially Appointed Researcher for the Laboratory for the Creation of Functional Molecules (Functional Molecular Creation Chemistry Laboratory) in Osaka Prefecture, Japan.

The position is a researcher/postdoctoral equivalent role focused on pharmaceutical chemistry, drug discovery, bioorganic chemistry, organic synthesis chemistry, biochemistry, and chemical biology. The project centers on the creation of nuclear signaling regulatory molecules and carrier molecules, including: (1) novel ligand/modulator molecules that directly regulate transcription factors, and (2) novel carrier molecules that transport nucleic acid drugs into cells.

Eligibility requires a doctoral degree (or expected completion by the start date, with employment beginning only after the degree is obtained). The university is looking for candidates who can collaborate effectively and who have strong experimental skills in organic synthesis or peptide synthesis, especially in the design, synthesis, and functional evaluation of biologically active compounds.

The appointment is fixed-term from April 1, 2027 to March 31, 2029, with a possible extension up to a total of 3 years depending on research performance. The stated annual income is 3 million to 4 million yen. The workplace is the Abuyama Campus in Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture.

Applications must arrive between September 16, 2026 and December 31, 2026. Applicants should prepare the specified application form, resume, list of achievements, and doctoral degree certificate (or expected acquisition certificate), then send the documents by registered mail. The post asks applicants to contact Professor Shinya Fujii by email first.
