Research Scientist or Postdoctoral Researcher — Laboratory for Brain Resilience (26-201)
Molecular Neuroscience, Neuroscience, Gerontology and research scientist / postdoctoral researcher position at RIKEN Center for Brain Science
About
Two research positions investigate why individuals differ in their resilience to brain ageing. Emi Ling’s laboratory combines molecular neurobiology, biochemistry and single-cell omics to identify mechanisms associated with lasting cognitive health. Researchers lead projects, publish findings and mentor junior colleagues. Appointments are annual and renewable after evaluation, with role-specific limits of five years for postdoctoral researchers and seven for research scientists.
Applicants need a relevant PhD; the postdoctoral category covers those within five years of their doctorate. Recruitment remains open until filled, with a start as soon as possible. Submit the specified documents as a ZIP file through the linked upload form; referees submit two or three letters separately.
