Open Positions

Graduate Students (M.S. / Ph.D.) and Post‑doctoral Fellows

We welcome highly motivated researchers who wish to explore new biological phenomena or to develop cutting‑edge measurement and analysis technologies at the interface of life science, biophysics, AI, and biomedical engineering.

Applicants from information science, physics, or other fields are actively encouraged; no prior experience is required—we will train you from the basics.
We provide strong support in securing external fellowships (e.g., JSPS DC/PD, international programs).
Example research themes:
- Sarcomere dynamics measurement
- Cardiac chaos & homeostasis
- AI/deep‑learning analysis of biological data
- Instrument development (SL‑nanometry, photothermal local‑heating microscopes, real‑time SEM, real‑time Raman microscopes, cryo‑EM for molecular dynamics, AI‑utilization guidelines)

Undergraduate Laboratory Placement (3rd‑year students, Dept. of Biomedical Science)

Eligibility: ≥ 51 credits earned by the start of the spring semester and ≥ 100 credits expected by the end of the autumn semester after lab assignment.
We will teach AI programming and electron microscopy from the ground up; no prior experience is necessary.
Ideal for students who wish to experience front‑line biomedical research and are interested in social implementation or industrial collaboration.

Collaboration, Equipment & Technology Sharing

We invite companies and research institutes to collaborate or share technology based on our proprietary platforms:
- SL‑nanometry (nanometer‑scale sarcomere length measurement)
- In‑liquid electron‑microscopy live imaging (DET‑membrane method)
- Real‑time SEM, photothermal control & temperature‑stimulus observation
- AI / deep‑learning analysis pipelines

Support is available from early PoC and basic research through data analysis, manuscript preparation, and patent applications. We flexibly accommodate off‑campus and industry‑academia collaborations as well as instrument‑use requests—please feel free to inquire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I join without a background in AI or information science?
- Yes. If you are motivated, we will teach you from the basics. We welcome interdisciplinary interests.
Are there opportunities for conference presentations and international collaboration?
- Absolutely. You can actively participate in domestic and international meetings and joint projects.
Do you aim for social implementation and industry partnerships?
- Yes. We vigorously promote applications to medicine and AI as well as academia–industry collaboration.
