About this position
This research contract is hosted by the Istituto dei Sistemi Complessi of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche in Rome, within the project ExTPoG – Extreme Thermodynamics of Polymer Gels. The position is tied to the scientific theme of extreme thermodynamics of polymer networks and is placed in the broader area of physical sciences, with a strong focus on experimental soft-matter research.
The successful candidate will work on a project centered on polymer gels, polymeric and colloidal systems, and their thermodynamic behavior under extreme conditions. The advertised research line explicitly links the activity to experimental physics of matter, with attention to the synthesis and rheological characterization of materials. The role is based at the CNR Rome-Sapienza site of the Institute of Complex Systems, offering a research environment anchored in a national public research institute and connected to an ongoing MUR-funded project.
The position is supervised scientifically by Dr. Andrea Saverio Ninarello, under the responsibility of the Institute Director Prof. Guido Caldarelli. The contract is for two years and is presented as a single research position within the ExTPoG project framework.
Funding details
2-year research contract funded by the ExTPoG project; gross institutional cost €96,000 total for 2 years.
What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD in Physics or Materials Science, or an equivalent degree obtained abroad, or a medical specialization degree. Candidates should have documented research experience in experimental physics of polymeric and colloidal systems, with skills in synthesis and rheological characterization of materials, and knowledge of English. Candidates in the third year of the relevant PhD, or in the final year of the medical specialization, may apply if the degree will be obtained within six months of the call; a scientific-professional CV suitable for research is also accepted. Italian language knowledge is required for non-Italian citizens. Applicants must also meet the general civil/political rights, criminal record, military service, and incompatibility conditions stated in the call.
