Tenure-track Associate Professor [Female Only]

WPI Nano Life Science Institute (NanoLSI), Kanazawa University was established in October 2017 as a World-class research center under the World Premier International Research Center (WPI) program of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). At NanoLSI, the world’s most advanced bio-SPM (Scanning Probe Microscopy) technology and supramolecular chemistry technology are combined and developed, and we develop nanoprobe technology to directly observe, analyze, and manipulate the dynamics of proteins, metabolites, and nucleic acids in the surface and interior of living cells at the nanoscale. Then, based on these innovative nanoprobe technologies, we aim to fundamentally understand the mechanisms of basic functions of living cells at the nanoscale through the integrated use of knowledge from “cancer” research and computational science.   

We are seeking a tenure-track associate professor to promote interdisciplinary research in “nanoprobe life sciences” or related interdisciplinary fields as a Jr. PI (an independent researcher similar to a PI) at the WPI Nano Life Science Institute. The target fields are expected to be “nanometrology,” “life sciences,” “supramolecular chemistry,” “computational science,” or related areas. In addition, the associate professor may be asked to be in charge of education at the Division of Nano Life Science in the Graduate School of Frontier Science Initiative and may also be asked to be in charge of related undergraduate education.
