Tenure-track position at the Advanced Science Research Center
The Heavy Element Nuclear Science Research group at the Advanced Science Research Center at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency in Tokai mura, Japan is seeking a highly qualified postdoctoral researcher to join their experimental research program on nuclear physics of heavy isotopes.
The advertised position is a 5-year tenure-track post-doctoral position within the framework of “Leading Initiative for Excellent Young Researchers Research Plan” promoted by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). (https://www.jsps.go.jp/english/e-le/index.html) In addition to the salary, the candidate will receive 9 million JPY (approximately 84,000 USD) per year of research funding during the first 2 years, and additional 2-3 million JPY each year to cover indirect expenses for the whole duration of the position.

In the application form, the interested candidates are requested to describe the purpose and method of the research they intend to carry out. In case of satisfactory performance, before the end of the position the candidate will be offered a permanent position at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency.
Note that one tenure-track position is not exclusively allocated to nuclear physics, but in a competition with candidates applying to other research groups at ASRC.
