Condensed Matter & Statistical Physics Postdoctoral Position - Physics and Simulation of Surfaces, Interfaces, and Nanomechanical/Nanochemical Systems

ICTP invites applications for a one-year senior postdoctoral position (non-renewable) within the research project “Physics and Simulation of Surfaces, Interfaces, and Nanomechanical/Nanochemical Systems.”

This is a joint research project between ICTP and The Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, and is coordinated by ICTP’s Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics Section.

The postdoctoral researcher’s activity will  be part of a targeted international project developing atomistic simulations , theory, calculations, and collaboration with experimentalists. The research themes will cover static and dynamic nanomechanical properties of moire’ multilayers; metal surface structural evolution during  catalytic processes such as  graphene growth;  and other equilibrium and non-equilibrium atomistic phenomena of similar kind that will arise.
