Start Mon, 01 Jun 2020 End Mon, 31 Aug 2020

Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) is pleased to announce a new tenure-track opening (open rank).

IIT seeks a dynamic, highly motivated, independent and innovative researcher to join its community of scientists and technologists engaged in cutting-edge research and development. Candidates must be creative thinkers who overcome traditional scientific boundaries, with the overarching goal of melding science and technology to improve human health, welfare and sustainability.

IIT has state-of-the-art facilities and has rapidly established itself among top research institutes worldwide. IIT has a strongly international character, with more than 50% of the scientific staff coming from over 60 countries worldwide.

The new tenure-track scientist will be intellectually and financially independent (i.e., independent principal investigator) and will enjoy world-class start-up and operational funding, as well as internationally competitive salary and benefits. IIT also strongly encourages and assists its scientists in expanding their research scope by obtaining independent external support from national, European and international funding agencies.

Hiring procedures of IIT are based solely on scientific credentials, and our search committees include external members from foreign institutions to provide diverse, independent perspectives. We encourage non-Italians and Italians, both abroad and in Italy, to apply.
