Fully Funded Postdoctoral Position in Physics in Chile

The Physics Department of Federico Santa María Technical University invites young researchers to apply for the Fondecyt Postdoctoral Competition 2025 in the areas of Physics and Astrophysics developed by the Department. Interested candidates must have obtained their doctoral degree between January 10, 2021, and June 30, 2024. The position is for 2-3 years, and the selected candidate must start their contract in April 2025.

The salary is competitive by Chilean standards (approximately $24,000 USD/year after 13.75% taxes).

The UTFSM Physics Department focuses its research on High-Energy Physics (theoretical and experimental), Condensed Matter Physics (theoretical and experimental), and Astrophysics (observational and theoretical), maintaining a close relationship with international research centers.

Professor Dr. Carlos Garcia (carlos.garcia@usm.cl) from the Physics Department is interested in sponsoring postdoctoral researchers to work in magnetism, particularly thin films, spintronic and the magnetocaloric effect.

The deadline to apply to ANID is April 11. Interested candidates must express their interest by April 5, attaching their CV with a list of publications, a letter of intent including a summary of research interests, and a brief research project (one or two pages) with a duration of 2 to 3 years.
