RIKEN Special Postdoctoral Researcher (SPDR)

The RIKEN Special Postdoctoral Researcher (SPDR) Program for appointments starting in fiscal year 2027 is now open for applications, as outlined below.

https://www.riken.jp/en/careers/programs/spdr/career2027/

Applications are also being invited in the following two laboratories or research teams.
· High Energy Nuclear Physics Laboratory in the Pioneering Research Institute
https://www.riken.jp/en/research/labs/chief/highenernucl_phys/index.html

· Neutron Frontier Research Team in the Center for Advanced Photonics

The High Energy Nuclear Physics Laboratory conducts research in high-energy nuclear and hadron physics, including hypernuclear physics. The laboratory also promotes the development of high-precision neutron imaging technologies and their applications.

The Neutron Frontier Research Team at the Center for Advanced Photonics is a newly established research group that will be launched in April 2026. Based on RIKEN's compact neutron sources RANS, RANS-II, and RANS-III, the team promotes basic science research using neutron beams as well as applied research through the development of precision measurement technologies. In addition, the team will continue the research and development activities previously carried out by the Neutron Beam Technology Development Team at the same center.

Those who are interested in applying for the Special Postdoctoral Researcher position through either of the above laboratories or teams are encouraged to contact Take R. Saito (takehiko.saito@riken.jp).
