Faculty Position in Theory and Simulation of Materials

We seek outstanding scientists developing and applying cutting-edge theoretical and computational approaches to understand, predict, and design materials. Areas of particular interest include electronic-structure theory from method development to state-of-the-art, large-scale calculations, multiscale simulations, and data-driven and machine-learning approaches for materials discovery and modeling.

A doctorate is required at the starting date. A successful candidate is expected to develop an independent and competitive research program in a multidisciplinary environment. The new Faculty member will supervise their own PhD students and engage with researchers in related fields across the EPFL campus. The successful candidate must have a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and contribute to STI education programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The EPFL environment is multilingual and multicultural. EPFL offers internationally competitive salaries, generous research support, significant start-up resources, an outstanding research infrastructure. Academics in Switzerland enjoy many research funding opportunities and an exceptionally high standard of living.
