Offer Description

PhD in Physics and Chemistry of Biological Systems

SISSA welcomes applications for 4 PhD fellowships in Physics and Chemistry of Biological Systems, starting in October 2024.

Applications should be submitted online at:  https://pica.cineca.it/sissa/phd-physchem-01-2024/

Candidates will be selected shortly after the application deadline of March 25, 2024. Online written and oral exams will be held from the beginning of April.

Applicants should have a solid background in Physics, Chemistry or related subjects and are expected to obtain their Laurea Specialistica or equivalent degree by the end of October.

Applicants are selected on a competitive basis, via online written and oral exams and taking into consideration their CVs, undergraduate transcripts, and reference letters.

The PhD Course is an innovative post-graduate program. After an eight-month intensive training period with lectures on a wide spectrum of advanced topics (statistical mechanics, polymer physics, data analysis, physical chemistry, bioinformatics, molecular simulation techniques, etc), the students start their own research activity under the supervision of a faculty member. Research is carried out in daily contact with the supervisor and collaborators.

In addition to attending colloquia and participating in regular seminars and journal clubs within the group, PhD students can also benefit from the existing collaboration with a large number of international research institutes and from the possibility to attend summer schools and International workshops thanks to dedicated travel funds.

Current research topics include:

  • Stat-mech of complex molecular systems
  • Biomolecular simulations
  • Simulations of rare events
  • Soft matter physics
  • Polymer physics
