Postdoctral Researchers

In addition to postdoctoral researchers funded by our group's research budgets, we also welcome applications from JSPS Research Fellows and ICYS Fellows. As recruitment opportunities may be available, please contact Dr. Sasaki, Dr. Hara, or Dr. Ii directly for further details.

The International Center for Young Scientists (ICYS) is a center dedicated to nurturing future leaders in materials science. It provides an ideal research environment where researchers within 10 years of receiving their Ph.D. are appointed as members of ICYS, rather than being assigned to individual research groups, allowing them to pursue independent research based on their own ideas.
