RIKEN seeks a research scientist in Ryuhei Nakamura’s Biofunctional Catalyst Research Team to advance water-electrolysis systems for green-hydrogen production. Research may focus on non-precious-metal oxygen-evolution catalysts, in-situ spectroscopy of reaction and degradation mechanisms, or computational analysis. The project is scheduled through March 2028. The position is based in Wako and requires independent research and collaboration. Recruitment is explicitly open until filled; the vacancy provides the application-upload route and submission instructions.

PhD obtained at least five years earlier, or comparable qualifications; substantial relevant experience, independent research capability and English communication.
