A two-year post-doc position on the development and application of neural network interatomic potentials for green photovoltaics will be soon available in the Theory and Numerical Simulation of Condensed Matter group at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste (Italy).

The postdoctoral position will be funded by the PRIN 2022 project "NEWATOMISTS - NEural netWork interATomic potentials for non tOxic Metal halIde perovSkiTeS". Extension for a third year may be possible on other funds.

Expression of interest:

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

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

- 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 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.
