Candidates will review biotechnology and life sciences literature, identify similarities, deal with complexity and ambiguity and synthesize the differences in a concise, logically structured & clearly presented written analysis.

Candidates must love writing and be unintimidated by the challenges of convincing a skeptical audience that a particular conclusion is valid in view of available, limited or ambiguous facts. The position is ideal for those who prefer interpreting data and designing experiments over conducting them themselves.

Training in international patent law & practice will be provided. Employer will sponsor Japanese work visa. Competitive compensation and benefits commensurate with demonstrated merit. Annual home passage allowance. Housing and relocation costs to Osaka are reimbursed.

Successful candidates will expect a complex, fast moving & dynamic atmosphere. We are the ideal workplace for the candidate that will blossom in an intense, high-pressure & deadline intensive environment.
