Two one-year post-doctoral positions for research on

- the development of Neural Network Interatomic Potentials for Materials of complex Stoichiometry (ENI / Dompe')

- enabling pico- to nano-second Molecular Dynamics Modeling through Neural-Network Interatomic Potentials (LEONARDO SpA / FFSS)

will soon be opened in the Theory and Numerical Simulation of Condensed Matter group at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste (Italy).

The postdoctoral positions will be funded by the Innovation Grant initiative of the PNRR HPC National Centre. Renewal is possible based on mutual satisfaction and fund availability.

Expression of interest:

We encourage interested candidates to send an expression of interest application to [email protected] including

- a CV containing a list of publications and a detailed description of both scientific and computational background,

- a motivation letter (max 1 page),

- the name and email address of at least one person (two is better) who might be contacted for a reference letter.

Applicant profile:

The candidates must hold, or being in the process of completing, a PhD degree in physics, chemistry, material sciences, or related, and have good English communication and autonomous learning skills. The successful candidates will be highly creative, ambitious, and motivated. Strong programming skills, previous experience with machine learning methods, electronic structure theory and/or atomistic simulations are an advantage.

What we offer:

We offer an excellent scientific environment in one of the Italian leading institution for higher education in an international environment, access to world-leading supercomputers, and high-profile interdisciplinary collaborations.
Yearly gross remuneration: € 24.426
