Recruitment

One of the advantages of obtaining a Ph.D. degree at NIMS is the financial support you will receive. If you enroll under the NIMS Joint Graduate School Program, you will be given the status of NIMS Junior Researcher and receive financial support in the form of a salary. Another advantage of taking a Ph.D. degree at NIMS is that you have full access to excellent research facilities. Our research group is equipped with facilities for everything from sample and device fabrication to advanced analysis, which is an excellent environment even by global standards. NIMS also has a full range of shared facilities (microfabrication equipment and various types of evaluation equipment) that we can use to develop our research.

We are always looking for “enthusiastic students who are interested in nanoscience and nanotechnology”. If you are interested in pursuing a doctoral degree in our group, please feel free to contact us (KITAURA.Ryo@nims.go.jp). Postdoctoral fellowships are also available. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact us.
