Dear Colleagues,
I am seeking applications for a postdoctoral position in the
theory and simulation of materials at extreme conditions of pressure and temperature, in the framework of a scientific collaboration with Elettra, the Italian advanced light source.
Applications are solicited from outstanding young scientists of any nationality with a strong research record in the field of atomistic simulations and electronic structure theory. Familiarity with machine-learning force-fields will be a plus. Female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. Starting period: End of 2025 to early 2026. Fellows must have completed a PhD in physics or related disciplines prior to the start of their Fellowship.
With about 50 academic members (faculty, visitors, postdocs and graduate students), an intense programme of workshops and conferences, and close collaborations with local scientific institutions such as SISSA, CNR, and the University of Trieste, ICTP's Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics section provides a vibrant international research environment. Postdoctoral fellows are also encouraged, and supported, to participate in activities in developing countries in order to promote the mission of ICTP.
ICTP offers internationally competitive remuneration and a number of benefits. The appointment is for two years. Candidates should apply through the ICTP online application system at:
