Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Permanent research position in Zagreb (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Dear Colleagues,
We have an opening for a permanent position of Research Associate (equiv. to Assistant Professor) in the Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics (CMSP) group at the Rudjer Boskovic Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia.
This position is meant for a scientist working in the theoretical condensed matter physics and material science using first-principles methods (eg. DFT) and/or machine learning for materials. We expect the potential candidate to have one to several years of postdoc experience and a research record consistent with it. There is a formal requirement of at least 9 papers in WoSCC, with at least 3 as the main author (Q1, Q2).
RBI is the leading research institution in Croatia, and the CMSP group has the strongest tradition of acquiring local and international grants to support its research effort. RBI is a purely research institution, so the appointee will not be distracted by teaching duties, unless she/he wants to. It should be remarked that Croatia offers efficient national funding opportunities and it is uniquely positioned to be competitive in European applications. RBI is also next door to two additional institutions carrying out physics research (the Institute for Physics and the University), with potential collaborators and students to work with. In this regard, there is plenty of opportunities to collaborate with experimental groups, especially in condensed matter and material science, where the number of scientists doing modeling is relatively low. Around 50% of our department are foreign scientists.
The monthly gross salary is around 2500 EUR. After taxes, pension, and health insurance (including dental coverage), the net is around 1450€ (without family benefits).
The cost of living in Croatia is significantly lower than in western Europe. Thus, while the salary offered is in the top 15% of the national distribution, it looks relatively low in comparison to a similar position in western Europe.
The official call will be opened once we identify potential candidates.
Interested candidates should contact me at [email protected]
Best Regards,
Ivor Loncaric
