Postdoctoral Scholar or Staff Scientist Algebraic Combinatorics and Fundamental Physics Unit

Study combinatorial and geometric structures in quantum field theory, including scattering amplitudes, positive geometry, cluster algebras and related mathematical structures in Matteo Parisi’s unit. One appointment may be made at postdoctoral or staff-scientist level. The initial term is two years, with a start between April and October 2027 by agreement. Expected annual pay is JPY 4.6–5.9 million for a postdoctoral scholar or JPY 5.0–7.5 million for a staff scientist. Applications are screened on arrival and continue until filled; mid-November is the first review, not a closing date.

PhD in mathematics, physics or a related field by the start, relevant research achievements and effective English communication. Staff-scientist consideration requires established independent expertise and substantial post-PhD experience, typically over five years. Apply via the linked AcademicJobsOnline form with a cover letter, CV/publications, research statement (five pages maximum), broader-impacts statement (two pages maximum) and three referees; letters are requested from shortlisted candidates.
