Our primary model is the peripheral sensory nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster. Projects will involve Drosophila genetics, molecular biology and microscopy. Applicants must be highly motivated and enthusiastic and are required to have (or be close to obtaining) a graduate degree in biological or medical sciences. The scientific language of the laboratory is English and reasonable English language skills are required; knowledge of Japanese is not necessary. The lab is situated in the RIKEN Brain Science Institute (http://www.brain.riken.go.jp/) in Wako City close to central Tokyo. This institute offers a dynamic research environment with excellent facilities and a multinational environment. Salary for these positions will be according to the RIKEN pay scale adjusted dependent on experience. Contracts are annually renewable following a performance review for up to five years. Applicants should send a curriculum vitae including publication list, a description of skills and experience (approximately 500 words), and contact details (including telephone and email) of three references.
