RIKEN strives to provide the best and most exciting opportunities for young scientists in the crucially important early stages of their career. One manifestation of this support comes in the form of RIKEN-funded short and long-term programs for those wishing to join RIKEN in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, medical science or engineering. We have two videos that can give hints about what it's like to work at RIKEN,a video on "my life at RIKEN" and anotherearlier video featuring a number of young researchers.
