About this position
The Fundamental Quantum Science Program at RIKEN is recruiting a few Research Scientists through its FQSP Distinguished Fellowships Program. The program is designed to build a world-class research center and research hub in fundamental quantum science, while fostering talented early-career researchers with a high degree of independence.
The position sits in the Fundamental Quantum Science Program under TRIP Headquarters, with Naoto Nagaosa named as Program Director. The research environment is centered on four core areas: fundamental physics and chemistry, mathematics, quantum information, and non-equilibrium science. Fellows are expected to advance theoretical work that explores the foundations of quantum theory, within a setting intended to let young researchers pursue their own themes across laboratory and PI boundaries.
This is a research-focused role for candidates at an early stage of their independent careers, with the fellowship explicitly framed as a route to helping emerging researchers develop into international leaders in their fields. The call emphasizes originality, long-term perspective, and the opportunity to work across the broad intellectual scope of fundamental quantum science at RIKEN’s Wako Campus.
The post is based at the RIKEN Wako Campus in Saitama, Japan.
