Career opportunities

IMDEA Materials is looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join a regional research initiative funded by the Community of Madrid. The selected candidate will work at the intersection of experimental biology, materials engineering, and computational modeling (digital twins). The project’s goal is to transform mechanobiology into a key engine of innovation in healthcare, deepening the understanding of disease mechanisms while paving the way for new therapeutic strategies and translational applications. This will be achieved through the use of cutting-edge technological platforms such as advanced in vitro systems, organ-on-chip models, and bioengineered scaffolds.

IMDEA Materials seeks a motivated PhD candidate to participate in a regional project by the Community of Madrid, by integrating experimental biology with material engineering and computational modeling (digital-twin). This project aims to redefine mechanobiology as a driver of innovation for health care applications, providing insights into fundamental disease phenomena while opening new therapeutic and translational opportunities by using technological platforms including advances in vitro models, organ-on-a-chip, and scaffolds.

Shock-detonation dynamics of energetic materials for advanced aerospace propulsion. The goal of SPEED is to identify and predict the chemical, physical, and
thermomechanical processes governing hypervelocity shock-induced detonation of Energetic Materials (EMs), with applications to advanced aerospace solid propellants.

A short-term postdoctoral research position is seek to work with the Multiscale Materials Modeling group at IMDEA Materials Institute is seek. The researcher will work on developing multiscale approaches to model the mechanical response of different steels fabricated by additive manufacturing.

Funding for this position will come from IRIDISCENTE, a competitive research project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
