【Who We Are Looking For】
We welcome applicants who hold a Ph.D. in physics, biology, and engineering, or related fields, and are:
1. Able to pay attention to experimental details and take clear experimental notes
2. Able to learn through literature searches and discussions
3. Able to communicate with an open mind
4. Motivated to learn and apply new scientific techniques

We value multidisciplinary backgrounds and welcome applicants from physics,
biology, engineering, and related fields. Prior experimental/theoretical experience in
related fields is a plus, but not mandatory.
工作內容
【About Sakamoto Lab】

What is Life? How do lifeless molecules come together to create dynamic and purposeful living things? The “Laboratory of Designer Life” explores this fundamental question from physics viewpoints by combining experiments and theory.
We take a bottom-up approach: instead of studying living cells as they are, we re-build key aspects of life in the lab, piece by piece, using building blocks of life. Our goal is to reveal the core principles underlying the beautiful self-organization of life. We seek people who are motivated to work on:
1. Developing experiments integrating cutting-edge microfabrication, microfluidics, and purified biomolecular systems to reveal novel self-organization phenomena.
2. Experimental measurements using microscopes with photo-manipulation systems, energy conversion measurements, and quantitative image & data analysis.
3. Theoretical analysis/modeling/simulation using soft matter physics, active matter physics, active gel theory, active nematics.

【Research Focus】
Potential areas of exploration include but are not limited to:
1. Biomolecular Self-Organization: Explore to understand how nm-scale biomolecules spontaneously assemble into µm-to-mm-scale larger functional structures without any blueprint by developing innovative bottom-up systems.
2. Engineering Life: Designing and building life-like systems that not only mimic but could potentially outperform natural cells, which will open up exciting opportunities in biotechnology and sustainable material development.

【What We Offer】
1. Innovative Environment: Work at the forefront of biophysics, active matter physics, bioengineering, and synthetic biology.
2. Skill Development: Gain hands-on experience in advanced microfabrication and in vitro protein experimental techniques, scientific writing and presentation skills.
3. Collaborative Culture: Join the team that is motivated to develop and share knowledge for mutual growth.
