Work content and job description
To promote experimental studies of quantum physical properties related to electron spin resonance (ESR) etc. in organic, perovskite, and inorganic materials etc. In April 2024, Research Center for Organic-Inorganic Quantum Spin Science and Technology (director: Professor Kazuhiro Marumoto) was launched. This research center elucidates the factors that govern the properties, functions, and performance of organic and inorganic materials, devices, composite structural materials, biological materials, earth materials, etc. from a microscopic perspective at the molecular, atomic, and nuclear levels, and conducts quantum spin science and technology research that provides a unified understanding of phenomena. It will develop innovative technologies through the interdisciplinary fusion of micro analysis technology, material synthesis technology, macro analysis technology, and device fabrication technology, and promote interdisciplinary research that goes beyond existing fields. We are looking for an experimental researcher who can analyze various phenomena of the above-mentioned organic and inorganic materials etc. from a microscopic viewpoint in cooperation with the researchers of this research center. In addition to research and research center activities, the successful candidate will be responsible for education in College of Engineering Sciences, School of Science and Engineering, and Subprogram in Materials Science, Master’s/Doctoral Program in Engineering Sciences, Degree Programs in Pure and Applied Sciences, Graduate School of Science and Technology (Supported as an ITF Assistant Professor, described below).
