Postdoc Opportunities in Soft Matter Physics in Hungary

Osaka University’s Protein Research Institute is recruiting a full-time fixed-term researcher at postdoctoral-equivalent level in the Functional Structure Measurement Group. The position is based in Suita, Osaka, Japan, within a research environment focused on advanced experimental studies of proteins, biomaterials, and material interfaces. The group uses an independently developed and maintained high-field spin-hyperpolarized solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer to investig...

The University of Oxford’s Department of Chemistry invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Colloid Physics to join Professor Madhavi Krishnan’s research group at the Chemistry Research Laboratory in Oxford. The Krishnan Lab investigates soft condensed matter at the nanometre scale, focusing on how charged particles and molecules interact in solution. The group has developed a mechanistic understanding of the counterintuitive attraction between similarly charged particles, i...

This postdoctoral position is based at the Institut Charles Sadron (ICS), Strasbourg , within a collaborative consortium bringing together the ICS polymer theory and simulation team, the soft matter and membranes team, and L’Oréal Hair & Skin Science in Clichy, Paris. The project focuses on AI-assisted molecular simulations for sustainable hair-care formulations. The successful researcher will work on bio-based polymer and surfactant systems, developing accelerated coarse-graining approaches and...

This postdoctoral project at CNRS focuses on the self-assembly and dynamics of nanoparticles in liquid crystal blue phase matrices . The research aims to understand how inserting nanoparticles can stabilize blue phases, extend their temperature range, and modify their structure and properties. The project is centered on soft-matter physico-chemistry, with particular attention to blue-phase liquid crystals that are attractive for light-based applications such as display technologies because they ...

This postdoctoral position is based at the Ecole supérieure de physique et de chimie industrielles de la Ville de Paris and focuses on experimental research in active matter. The project aims to understand the physical mechanisms of self-regulation in active systems using reconstituted active nematics built from cytoskeleton components. The researcher will investigate how mobile inclusions interact with an active environment, with special attention to the reciprocal effects between the inclusion...

The Department of Mathematics at the University of South Carolina is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to join an interdisciplinary project on multiscale modeling of stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems . The position brings together mathematical modeling, computational simulation, and experimental methods to study the flow behavior of smart micellar materials . The successful candidate will contribute to an NIH-funded research effort that integrates rheological experiments, stochastic modeling...

Masaryk University’s Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC MU) is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Robert Vácha Research Group in Brno, Czech Republic. The project focuses on lipid nanoparticles and related delivery systems for mRNA-based cancer immunotherapy vaccines. These systems must deliver therapeutic mRNA reliably to the cytosol while maintaining safety, long-term stability, high loading efficiency, uniform particle size, and suitability for scalable manufacturing. The...

Stockholm University is offering a postdoctoral position in experimental chemical physics within the Department of Physics and the Division of Chemical Physics. The fellow will join Foivos Perakis’s research group and contribute to HYDRA, a project funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. HYDRA investigates how water and protein sequence jointly control the formation and maturation of biomolecular condensates. The research follows these systems from early molecular interactions and li...

This postdoctoral project at the CNRS explores how to control the permeability of water-in-water emulsions stabilized by self-assembled lyotropic phases at the droplet interface. These emulsions, formed from phase separation in aqueous polymer solutions such as PEG and dextran, are attractive for encapsulation and controlled release of hydrophilic molecules without oil or organic solvent. The research sits within the ANR SHEILA project and focuses on making interfacial transport stimulus-respons...
