You will join the group of Professor Alessandro Troisi based in the Materials Innovation Factory (https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/materials-innovation-factory/) to work on a project supported by an ERC Advanced Grant on the Theory of Materials for Bioelectronics.
The overall goal of our research is to describe a class of organic materials able to transport ionic and electronic charge which provide an ideal interface between human-built devices (where signals are carried by electrons) and biological systems (where signals are carried by ions).
This research will cover theoretical models at many scales including electron dynamics, soft-matter physics, materials-biomolecules interaction and device physics exploiting the collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of theoreticians and external experimentalist.
You should have expertise in at least one of the following areas (i) Non-adiabatic chemical dynamics, (ii) Physics of charge transport in the solid state, (iii) QM/MM methods, (iv) Atomistic classical simulations of macromolecules (v) Biophysics.
You can write computer codes to solve some of the daily research problems and have experience with high performance computing.
You should have a PhD in Chemistry, Physics or Materials Science with a proven research track record and solid background enabling the study of completely new problems.
The post is available until 30 September 2026.
Informal enquiries are welcome via E-mail (a.troisi@liverpool.ac.uk).
If you are still awaiting your PhD to be awarded you will be appointed at Grade 6, spine point 30. Upon written confirmation that you have been awarded your PhD, your salary will be increased to Grade 7, spine point 31.
