Nuclear Chemistry

Mid-career staff recruitment in nuclear chemistry. Develop nanofunctional materials for radionuclide separation and analysis, investigate degradation under irradiation, and study material-surface responses involved in selective recognition. The work supports integrated analytical platforms and compact devices. The tentative assignment is at the Nuclear Science Research Institute in Tokai-mura, with appointment in principle after 1 April 2027. Applications close on 30 October 2026 at 17:00 Japan Standard Time.

The Royal Society supports short exchanges between UK academia and industry to develop research collaborations. Fellowships last three to six months full-time, or up to twelve months at 50% part-time. Funding covers the salary of the applicant and/or a nominated postdoctoral researcher plus research expenses of up to £1,000. Applications for the second 2026 round close on 7 October 2026.

Up to USD 20,000 for a one-year project at a US two-year college preparing chemical technical professionals. Projects can provide student stipends or scholarships, work-based learning, employer partnerships, equipment, instrumentation, curriculum development or faculty time to strengthen chemistry-related workforce pathways. Activities serving transfer-student populations are excluded. Applications opened 23 July and close 7 October 2026; the award period is January–December 2027, with project starts no later than 31 May. Submit through the official call’s linked grant platform, including project summary, narrative, budget, justification and personnel biosketches.

The Nuclear Chemistry Group at RIKEN’s Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science seeks one postdoctoral researcher, research scientist or senior research scientist to investigate superheavy elements. The researcher will perform nuclear chemistry studies at the RIKEN RI Beam Factory, maintain experimental chemistry apparatus and hot laboratories, and support collaborating researchers. A doctorate and expertise in nuclear and radiochemistry are required. Role level depends on research experience; the appointment is based at the Wako campus.

The Nuclear Chemistry Group at RIKEN’s Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science seeks one postdoctoral researcher, research scientist or Technical Staff I. The AMED cancer research project develops production and use of radioisotopes with the heavy-ion accelerators at the RIKEN RI Beam Factory. Researchers will develop isotope production and utilization techniques, investigate applications, distribute radioisotopes and maintain production equipment and hot laboratories. Technical staff will support production, quality evaluation and distribution, manage radioisotopes and chemicals, and support collaborating researchers. The appointment is based at Wako and requires experience handling unsealed radioisotopes.
