Description - Call for Expression of Interest for a joint application under the upcoming Call for MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026University of Genoa, UNIGE, located in Genoa, ITALY, 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 been beneficiary of several MSCA-PF in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe.
The Marie Sklodowska Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship is one of 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 grant 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 candidate researchers 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 proposal, including prescreening activity 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.

Research Project DescriptionThe continuous development of physical-mathematical formulations, powerful analytical methods and computational techniques, together with the recent extraordinary progress of high-technology microengineering and high-fidelity manufacturing, pave the way for the emergence of a entirely new generation of microstructured materials, known as mechanical metamaterials. Their advent opens up completely new and revolutionary possibilities in the design of functional and tunable systems with application in traditional and emerging engineering fields.
The main objective of research line for MSCA Postdoctoral is to advance the scientific knowledge about mechanical metamaterials by contributing to one or more of the following topics:
The DICCA - Department of Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering carries out cutting‑edge research in many areas of solid and structural mechanics. The active research lines of the Research Unit guided by Marco Lepidi, in particular, focus on theoretical and applied topics of solid and structural dynamics, including:
