About this position

Politecnico di Milano is offering a 24-month postdoctoral contract in the Department of Mechanical Engineering within the academic area of applied mechanics. The project, titled “Leaky-wave focused ultrasound through metamaterial engineering”, focuses on developing and validating acoustic-metamaterial solutions for controlling ultrasound propagation and focusing, with particular attention to non-invasive transcranial focusing.

The research combines several connected themes: modelling acoustic-wave propagation in complex media, studying the interaction between ultrasound and structures/metasurfaces, engineering leaky waves, designing metamaterials, and controlling the ultrasound field in space. A significant part of the work is experimental, with laboratory activities aimed at manufacturing and validating the developed devices and checking their focusing performance under representative conditions.

The position is embedded in a mechanics-oriented environment and also includes teaching and laboratory support in Applied Mechanics for Machines, especially in areas such as wave dynamics, vibroacoustics, and acoustic metamaterials. The call is therefore suited to a candidate with strong interests in wave-based mechanics, ultrasound control, and experimental validation of engineered acoustic structures.

Funding details

Overall gross remuneration of Euro 93000 for 24 months, paid in equal monthly instalments.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD degree, or an equivalent foreign qualification recognized as equivalent by the Selection Committee for the purpose of the contract; for the relevant fields, a medical specialization is also accepted. The call requires the ability to work in English, and the public interview may assess English and/or other relevant languages. Candidates must submit a scientific and professional CV in Italian or English, up to 5 publications, and the required documentation; non-EU candidates must provide the relevant residence permit or visa documentation if applicable.

How to apply

Submit the application and signed summary exclusively through the Politecnico di Milano online services by 12:00 Italian time on the deadline. Attach the CV, up to 5 publications, identity document, and any required qualification/supporting documents. Pay the 25.82 Euro participation fee through PagoPA, or by bank transfer if PagoPA cannot be used.
