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.
Who can apply
Scientists of any nationality and gender with a PhD ranging from condensed matter physics, physical chemistry or engineering, and with a subsequent strong and pertinent research record. Proven experience is required in non-equilibrium atomistic molecular dynamics simulations and related techniques, with recognised expertise and applications in nanotribology and nanostructural evolution with and without external agents and forces.
Entitlements
The net monthly salary will be 2,700 EUR. Benefits include a private health insurance, a pension contribution, and travel funds.
How to apply
The application deadline for this position is 17 October 2025
Only short-listed candidates will be contacted by e-mail after the selection process.
Applications shall be submitted through ICTP online application system:
