Description - Call for Expression of Interest for a joint application under the upcoming Call for MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026

University of Genoa (UNIGE) welcomes postdoctoral researchers of any nationality, with an excellent track record, to apply to the European Commission Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026. Our University has benefited from several MSCA-PF in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe.

The Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship is a funding scheme of the European Commission’s Horizon Europe Research & Innovation programme, dedicated to excellent research, promoting international mobility as well as interdisciplinary and intersect oral exchanges.

MSCA fellowship provides a competitive salary plus mobility and family allowances if applicable, as well as a contribution to cover research, training and networking costs. The research projects will have 2- or 3-years duration.

Selected candidates will be provided with special support for proposal writing and development
.

The University of Genoa will organize in May the fifth edition of the Masterclass MSCA@Uni Ge
. Selected candidates will have the opportunity to attend a 2-days online intensive training and coaching course on how to write a successful proposal
. This masterclass is a pathway of support to candidates and their supervisors in preparing project proposals, including prescreening of the draft proposals and the organisation of dedicated B2B meetings by the European Research Office of Uni Ge, National Contact Point and other experts.

The masterclass will take place in Spring 2026
.

MSCA domain: Information Science and Engineering (ENG)

• Dynamic and thermoeconomic modelling of Carnot Batteries and Pumped Thermal Energy Storage
• Dynamic and thermoeconomic modelling of High Temperature Heat Pump (BRAYTON-BASED - air as refrigerant)
• Modelling of high temperature thermal energy storage
• Experimental activities on Carnot Batteries and Pumped Thermal Energy Storage
• Experimental activities on High Temperature Heat Pump (BRAYTON-BASED - air as refrigerant)

Candidates should have experience in modelling of energy systems (commercial tools such as EBSILON, as well as coding in MATLAB and Python).

The Thermochemical Power Group is a group specialized in advanced energy systems, studied at modelling and experimental level — (Use the "Apply for this Job" box below). — via in-house modelling tools and experimental facilities.

The team is involved in different EU funded projects where it works at numerical and testing level.

The candidate will be able to participate in on-going activities as well as to develop their own project leveraging existing tools and lab setups.

An expression of interest shall be sent to Prof. Stefano Barberis (stefano.barberis, Orcid :

-9989) within 15 April 2026.

Your file should contain the following elements:

• For MSCA-PF 26 call (opening foreseen on 10 April 2026), at the deadline for the submission of proposals (9 September 2026) postdoctoral candidates shall have a maximum of 8 years of postdoctoral research experience and must not have resided or carried out their main activities in Italy (for European Fellowship) or in the Third Country of the outgoing phase (for Global Fellowship) for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the above mentioned deadline.
