About this position
This postdoctoral position is hosted by the Polymer Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava, within the Department for Biomaterials Research and the Department of Molecular Simulations of Polymers. The successful researcher will work on molecular modeling of polymer systems at different levels of approximation, combining computational approaches with a strong mathematical and physical foundation.
The project is framed around the development and application of new models and computational codes to describe experimentally observed phenomena in polymer physics and related materials science fields. The institute is seeking an independent researcher who can pursue their own scientific interest and help establish further research activity at the Polymer Institute. The role emphasizes original research, methodological development, and the ability to present results to international and multidisciplinary audiences.
The advertised environment is international and research intensive, with access to high-performance computing facilities and opportunities for collaboration with leading institutions. The work sits at the interface of polymer physics, soft-matter simulation, and advanced computational modeling, making it suitable for a researcher aiming to strengthen an independent profile in theoretical and computational materials research.
