About this position

Osaka University’s Graduate School of Engineering Science is advertising an open call for a Specially Appointed Researcher in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Future Materials Area. The project is centered on theoretical research in quantum materials, especially novel material properties based on multipole degrees of freedom, cross-correlation responses, and non-reciprocal, nonlinear conduction phenomena.

The successful candidate will work closely with a newly appointed professor to develop new research themes and advance theoretical studies from the perspectives of electronic states, symmetry, quantum geometry, and transport phenomena. The post is research-focused and is listed as a researcher/postdoctoral equivalent role.

Eligibility: a doctoral degree is required (including expected completion). Desirable experience includes solid-state electron theory, first-principles calculations, numerical computation, machine learning, and materials design.

Funding: part-time fixed-term employment with an hourly wage of 2,697–2,950 yen. The contract is for one year and may be renewed after review. Working hours are negotiable within the stated schedule, up to 29 hours per week.

Location: Osaka University, Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan.

Deadline: applications must arrive between 2026-10-20 and 2026-11-27. The university may close the search early once a suitable candidate is found.

How to apply: submit the required documents via the JREC-IN Portal web application. Use the specified resume format or a standard resume, provide a list of achievements with up to three major papers marked, and include the names, affiliations, and contact details of two referees.
