Daniele Padula

PhD opportunity at the University of Siena in the PhD School in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences . The project is titled Computational Design of Next-Generation Organic Materials: From Molecular Properties to Optoelectronic Device Performance . It focuses on the computational design of organic semiconductors for optoelectronic applications , using multiscale computer simulations from quantum chemistry to mesoscale modeling. The research aims to connect molecular-scale behavior with device performance and may include directions such as photovoltaics , light-emitting devices , and related optoelectronic technologies. This PhD is a strong fit for candidates with backgrounds in Chemistry , Physics , Materials Science , or related disciplines, especially those interested in the interface of computational chemistry , materials science , and data science . Supervisor/announcer: Daniele Padula, Associate Professor at Università degli Studi di Siena. Application process: Applications must be submitted through the official University of Siena PhD selection procedure. The post explicitly says not to send CVs or applications directly to the professor. Use the official call documents for the submission channels and instructions. Deadline: 24 July 2026, 14:00 CEST. Interviews: 4 September 2026, 10:00 CEST. Start date: 1 November 2026.
