The Institute of Materials Structure Science promotes extensive and crosscut use of four types of quantum beams, synchrotron radiation, neutron, muon and slow positron, in materials and life sciences. The successful candidate will belong to the Division of Synchrotron Radiation Science, and will play a role in the Photon Factory (PF) in promoting the following research areas. 1) Expression, purification, crystallization, and structural analysis of biological macromolecules 2) Development of the ultra-fast X-ray detector system and its application to synchrotron radiation nuclear resonant scattering.

The Institute of Materials Structure Science (IMSS), which is affiliated to KEK acting as an Inter-University Research Institute Corporation, promotes interdisciplinary and complimentary use of four types of quantum beams, synchrotron radiation (SR), neutron, muon and positron, in materials and life sciences research. The successful candidate belongs to the Neutron Science Division (KENS) and is expected to develop existing neutron instruments (BL05, BL06, BL08, BL09, BL12, BL16, BL21, BL23) in J-PARC/MLF and take part in one of the in collaboration with the KENS staff.

The Institute of Materials Structure Science (IMSS), which is affiliated to KEK acting as an Inter-University Research Institute Corporation to promote interdisciplinary and complimentary use of four types of quantum beams, synchrotron radiation (SR), neutron, muon and positron, in materials and life sciences research, is seeking an outstanding young scientists for the Muon Science Laboratory (KEK-MSL). The succesful candidate will be actively involved in one of the following scientific programs in collaboration with KEK-MSL staff.
1) Advanced µSR study on condensed matter science (including magnetism, superconductivity, hydrogen-related solid state physics, etc.)
2) Development of high intense muon beams and related techniques at J-PARC MUSE
3) Atomic physics and related sciences using negative muons (muonic atom, muonic X-ray spectroscopy, etc) He/she would not necessarily have experience on muon science, but should prove one’s expertise and ability in his/her primary field of interest and willingness to undertake the challenge of the muon science.
