We, Synchrotron Radiation Science Divisions 1 & 2, aim to open up new scientific fields using synchrotron radiation and to turn out researchers who can be actively involved in a wide range of fields in Japan and abroad in future. Thus, we are looking for researchers who are willing to produce outstanding research achievements through making the best use of the position as a member of IMSS, and to contribute to the development of synchrotron radiation science from a broad perspective, regardless of their field of expertise. From the viewpoint of turning out human resource, promotion to associate professor within the Synchrotron Radiation Science Division is not assumed in principle, and promotion to other positions will be encouraged.
We, solid state physics section, conduct research to understand macroscopic physical properties from the crystal structure and electronic state of micro- to mesoscopic regions in the material. For this purpose, we are collaborating with not only members of the institute but also users in industry, government, and academia in Japan and abroad. In addition, we are also developing new experimental techniques and equipments in cooperation with the members in the Photon Factory and the Accelerator Division Ⅵ in Accelerator Laboratory.

The successful candidate is expected to promote solid state physics research using various experimental techniques, including hard and soft X-ray diffraction and scattering and other synchrotron radiation experiments, as well as other quantum beams such as neutrons, muons, and slow positrons. In particular, it is desirable to elucidate the origin of physical properties of strongly correlated electron system and/or molecular assemblies by clarifying their internal structures, or to understand the changes of physical properties caused by structural modulation due to external fields. The successful candidate is also expected to pioneer a new field of solid state physics research using quantum beams with a view to the next light source facility, being free from his/her research experience and conventional knowledge of solid state physics research using synchrotron radiation.
