Research Scientist / Postdoctoral Researcher

**Job Description**
The Laboratory for Dynamic Biomolecule Design at RIKEN is seeking a Research Scientist or Postdoctoral Researcher to contribute to its research theme focused on understanding biomolecular functions through their structural dynamics. The successful candidate will develop methods for designing biomolecules, particularly membrane proteins and peptides, with controllable conformational dynamics using a combination of protein design and molecular simulation techniques. The role involves uncovering mechanisms of biomolecular functions through experimental characterization of designed molecules and expanding their application as tools in life science and medical research for perturbing cell dynamics, imaging, sensing, and drug design.

**Skills & Abilities**
• Computational protein design
• Molecular simulations
• Expression and purification of recombinant proteins
• Biophysics
• Chemical modification of proteins and peptides
• High-resolution structural analysis
• Knowledge in Protein, Peptide, Lipid, Protein Design, Structural Biology, Synthetic Biology

**Qualifications**
Required Degree(s) in:
• Ph.D. in a relevant scientific discipline (e.g., Chemistry, Biological Sciences, Biophysics, Structural Biology)

**Experience**
Experience Required:
• Post-Ph.D. experience up to approximately 5 years (for Research Scientist)
• Recent Ph.D. graduates (for Postdoctoral Researcher)
