Four-year doctoral position in the Optical Materials Engineering Laboratory (Prof. David J. Norris) characterizing semiconductor nanocrystals with optical spectroscopy and electron microscopy to link atomic-scale structure to optical properties.
RIKEN’s Nanoscale Quantum Photonics Laboratory seeks one postdoctoral researcher for its collaboration with the Institute for Basic Science. The project combines optical spectroscopy and nanophotonics with scanning-tunneling nanospectroscopy to investigate quantum states and energy conversion in low-dimensional structures and molecular interfaces. The Wako-based appointment begins in January 2027 or later by agreement. Annual contracts may be renewed through August 2029. The official advert explicitly accepts applications until the position is filled and supplies document-upload instructions.
Develop optical spectroscopy and plasma diagnostic systems for isotope applications. Research includes experimental design, laser-induced and optical-emission measurements, and analysis of challenging materials in collaboration with the Isotope Applications Research group. Applications are made on the employer’s recruitment portal; no closing date is stated. Initial appointment up to 24 months, with extensions dependent on performance and funding.
