The University of Turku is a world-class multidisciplinary research university that offers interesting challenges and a unique vantage point to national and international research and education. University of Turku is extending its research to materials and mechanical engineering, and from the beginning of 2021, a Faculty of Technology was created and within it the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering.
We are currently looking for
1-3 postdoctoral researchers/doctoral researchers or project researchers in the field of soft matter modelling to join the group of Computational Materials Engineering lead by Ass. Prof. Alberto Scacchi. The positions are fixed-term and the starting time for this position would be as soon as possible after the 1st of June 2024 according to mutual agreement, and the contract duration will be for 2 years for postdoctoral researchers and 3 years for PhD candidates. The length of the contract for a project researcher is until the candidate is expected to have the doctoral study rights.
If you have an interest in using theory and computer simulations to address contemporary challenges in the realm of soft (bio)materials, you are a perfect fit for our team. These positions offer you a unique opportunity to apply state-of-the-art modelling methods for better understand phase separation phenomena in the context of biological systems, such as liquid-liquid phase separation of proteins, as well as in technologies aimed at facilitating the green transition, including the development of bio-based materials and water purification systems. Your work will be carried out in collaboration with cutting-edge experimental research. We are looking for passionate, dynamic and curious candidates, able to work both individually and in an interdisciplinary team.
