One Team-Leader position in theoretical chemistry/physics is available at the Centre for Biomolecular Nanotechnologies (Lecce, Italy) of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia. The position is 5 years long and could be renewed.

The position is available immediately.

The annual gross-salary is 50.000€, with an additional bonus (up to 20% of the annual salary) available each year depending on scientific results. Social insurance is subdivided between IIT and the worker (9,24% of the salary for worker and 18,48% of the salary for employer, according to the law actually in force).

Research topic: development and application of computational methods (based on Density-Functional Theory) for the electronic and optical properties of hybrid nanosystems (organic/inorganic interfaces and nanoparticles).

Applications are invited for a Post-doctoral position in the development and characterization of magnetic polymer-based nanocomposites. The candidate must have a PhD in one of the following areas: Physics, Material Science or Engineering, Chemical Engineering or Chemistry, and a postdoctoral experience up to 6 years. Previous experience in magnetic polymeric nanocomposites preparation and magnetic characterization are essential. Expertise in SQUID magnetometers and/or theoretical simulations of the behaviour of magnetic particles in a viscoelastic polymer will be highly appreciated.
