Call for Expression of Interest (2026) : Tenure-Track Positions in the Department of Physics Instituto Superior Tecnico – University of Lisbon

The Department of Physics at Instituto Superior Tecnico (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 2026, 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`, `Particle Physics and Nuclear Physics`, and `Condensed Matter and Nanotechnology`. The Department plans to open one Assistant Professor position in each of these areas.

Reference letters should be sent directly by your referees to eoi[AT]fisica.tecnico.ulisboa.pt with the subject line “RL : [Your Name]”. These letters should attest to your scientific, pedagogical, professional, and ethical qualities. Please ensure they are submitted before the deadline. Additional information may be requested.

Deadline : Applications must be received by 5th September 2025 to ensure full consideration.

IST Councils Deadline : The IST councils will identify research areas of interest by the end of 2025, with international calls for Tenure-Track Assistant Professor positions expected to open by Public Notice around the beginning of Spring 2026.
