Research Scientist or Postdoctoral Researcher — Laboratory for Brain Resilience (26-201)
Wako, Saitama, Japan
Deadline not stated
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.
Requirements
PhD in neuroscience, biological/biomedical science, genomics or a related field; clear English communication, rigorous research and collaborative working.
