Director of Center for Nuclear Study, the University of Tokyo
Call for Postdoctoral Researchers at Center for Nuclear Study (CNS), the University of Tokyo (Dec. 22, 2015)
CNS owns and operates several fundamental facilities in the RIBF of the RIKEN Nishina Center for studies in
experimental nuclear physics, with particular emphasis on nuclear astrophysics, nuclear reactions, and nuclear
structure studies with radioactive isotope beams. CNS also has research groups in high-energy nuclear physics, nuclear
theories and the development of ion sources.
JOB TITLE: Project Researcher
FIELD: Experimental or theoretical nuclear physics.
The successful candidates will work on experimental nuclear physics with radioactive isotopes mainly by using the
facilities of CNS (CRIB, SHARAQ, Ge array (GRAPE), OEDO, Active Target, etc), high energy nuclear collisions at ALICE
at LHC, or nuclear structure theory.
ELIGIBILITY: Ph.D degree in experimental/theoretical nuclear physics or a related field, granted by April 1, 2016.
EMPLOYMENT: One-year fixed-term appointment. Renewable twice based on a yearly evaluation. The appointment will be
from April 1, 2016 or later.
PAYMENT: Monthly salary is approximately 300,000 yen before deductions. (One must pay into health and unemployment
insurances.) Daily commuting expense is also supported in addition.
APPLICATION MATERIALS:
The above items (1-4) should be sent electronically as a combined PDF file to Prof. Hidetoshi Yamaguchi.

DEADLINE OF APPLICATION: Tuesday, January 19th, 2016 (Japan time)
After an initial screening, an interview will be scheduled in late January. The interview will take place at one of
the CNS offices (Hongo or Wako, to be announced). The applicant must make a short presentation, which should include
particular emphasis on the main research results as well as a research plan appropriate for employment at CNS. It is
possible to conduct the interview remotely (e.g. via Skype or TV conference system) upon request in advance.
We acknowledge, understand and embrace diversity.
CONTACT: Prof. Hidetoshi Yamaguchi
Additional note on Jan. 6: The interview will be on Jan. 26.
