Looking for MSCA-PF 2026 candidates – Computational Chemistry

The candidate will be hosted in the Theory, Modeling and Simulation group (aTMOS) at the Instituto de Nanociencia y Materiales de Aragón (INMA, CSIC-Universidad de Zaragoza, Spain), under the supervision of Dr. Olga Stasyuk, working at the interface of computational chemistry and materials science.

Our research focuses on the computational design of functional organic and hybrid materials for sustainable energy applications, using state-of-the-art quantum chemistry methods to guide experiments and accelerate materials innovation.

Possible research directions include:

• Nanoscale concave-convex systems with tunable optoelectronic properties;

• Low-dimensional carbon materials for catalysis and energy conversion;

• Molecular cages for photovoltaics and photocatalysis

The fellow will develop an independent research project aligned with these topics, with strong support in proposal preparation, career development, and international networking.

• We are looking for candidates with:

• A PhD in Chemistry, Materials Science, or related fields

• Strong background in DFT and computational chemistry

• Interest in organic materials, catalysis, or molecular design

What we offer:

• Dedicated mentoring for a competitive MSCA proposal

• Access to high-performance computing facilities

• Collaboration opportunities with experimental groups

If you are interested, please send your CV and a brief description of your research interests. Early contact is strongly encouraged to ensure sufficient time for proposal preparation.
