PhD student - scholarship (machine learning-driven modeling of metallic glasses)

ref. NOMATEN_202

Location : Otwock - Świerk - in the outskirts of Warsaw with daily transport services provided.

NOMATEN Centre of Excellence (CoE) is formed through a scientific partnership between the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ-Poland), the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA-France) and the Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT-Finland). NOMATEN focuses research on the characterization, analysis and development of advanced multifunctional materials, specifically those designed to work in extreme conditions, with primary examples being radiation, high temperature and corrosion. More info about NOMATEN CoE and the detailed project descriptions at

• Conducting research on atomic scale dynamics in glasses and high entropy alloys using molecular dynamics. Developing machine learning models that predict material properties from atomic structure and guide the design of stable disordered materials.
• Interacting with the team working on metallic glasses including theorists.

Requirements :

NCN scholarships may be awarded to individuals who are not PhD holders and participate in a doctoral programme studies or a doctoral school at any university in Poland;

The recruitment for the NCBJ Doctoral School is currently open. Those interested in doctoral studies can submit their applications via the website : and choose the physics research topic No 1 under the name "Machine Learning-driven modeling of atomic dynamics in high entropy materials" ( the candidate should first pass the entry exam in physics ).

Fluency in English, spoken and written.

Our ambition is to build a team composed of world-leading researchers and young, highly motivated people who are passionate about multifunctional materials science.

We offer :

36 months scholarship of 5000 PLN per month on the project "Impact of Composition and Cooling Rate on Mechanical Properties of High Entropy Metallic Glasses" funded by the National Science Centre, Poland (SONATA BIS 13) (possibility of extension)

The appointments are expected to commence in October 2025.
