Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics and Topological Materials at Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research, Poland

The Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research, Polish Academy of Sciences (INTiBS PAN) in Wrocław, Poland, announces a postdoctoral position in the Department of Magnetic Research as part of the NCN SONATA 19 project. The research focuses on experimental condensed matter physics, particularly strongly correlated electronic systems, topological non-trivial materials, magnetism, Heusler and Kagome systems, and the thermoelectric and Nernst effects in topological semimetals and goniopolar compounds. The successful candidate will investigate electronic transport properties (resistivity, Hall effect, magnetoresistance), thermoelectric effects, analyze experimental results, present findings at scientific conferences, and prepare manuscripts for publication. The project is led by Dr. Orest Pavlosiuk and offers a collaborative environment with opportunities for professional development in advanced materials research. Applicants must have a PhD in physical sciences, chemical sciences, materials engineering, or related fields, awarded by an institution other than INTiBS PAN and not earlier than 7 years before employment. Candidates should demonstrate expertise in solid state physics, electronic transport, and thermoelectric properties of intermetallic compounds, as well as strong English proficiency. Experience in the research area, independence, teamwork, and problem-solving skills are highly valued. Required documents include a PhD diploma (with translation if not in English or Polish), application letter with data processing consent, scientific CV, publication list, and a statement for inclusion in the institute's scientific staff. Foreign diplomas may require legalization or nostrification. The position is fully funded with a net monthly salary of approximately 7000 PLN (about 9500 PLN gross) for a 12-month full-time contract, with the possibility of extension up to 24 months. The employment contract will be signed with the Director of INTiBS PAN. The application deadline is 15 February 2026. For further information, contact Dr. Orest Pavlosiuk at [email protected]. To apply, submit the required documents electronically by email with the subject 'Konkurs post-doc SONATA-19 OBM' by the deadline. Selected candidates may be invited for an interview. More details and the official announcement can be found on the INTiBS PAN website.
