The Department of Physics at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) invites Expressions of Interest (EOI) from researchers across all branches of physics (theoretical and experimental) who aspire to build international research careers and establish dynamic research groups. As a leading institution in Portugal and Europe, IST provides an exceptional research environment with outstanding students, making it an ideal setting for cutting-edge research.

This initiative seeks to identify areas of research with high growth potential for the Department of Physics. In 2025, based on the results, we will launch international calls (Public Notice) to recruit tenure-track professors, primarily at the Assistant Professor level.

In this call, the Department of Physics is preferentially interested in applications for three Assistant Professor positions in the following scientific areas: ‘Astrophysics and Gravitation’, ‘Condensed Matter Physics and Nanotechnology’, and ‘Plasma Physics, Lasers, and Nuclear Fusion’. The Department has already committed to opening one Assistant Professor position in each of these areas.

We encourage applications from researchers with outstanding CVs, demonstrated scientific leadership, and a strong publication record. We are particularly interested in candidates with a proven ability to secure grants, especially from international funding organisations. Learn more about the Department of Physics and its scientific areas on https://fisica.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/.

Contact Instructions:
