ICTP-QLS Postdoctoral Fellowship - Theory of neural networks | ICTP ICTP-QLS Postdoctoral Fellowship - Theory of neural networks The Quantitative Life Sciences (QLS) section of the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) seeks applications from outstanding scientists of any nationality with a strong research record for a postdoctoral position starting during spring 2026.
The position is linked to the CHORAL project on the «Computational Hardness Of RepresentAtion Learning» funded by the European Research Council, with Dr. Jean Barbier as Principal Investigator. The ICTP is a UNESCO Category 1 research institute supporting science and education in the developing world. It promotes worldwide initiatives for the career development of Women in Science.
The QLS section provides a unique international research environment for postdoctoral fellows with about 15 group members, an intense program of workshops and conferences, close collaborations with local institutions (SISSA, Univ. Trieste) and internationally renowned ones (ENS Paris, EPFL, IPhT, ISTA, etc).
The QLS section has expertise in a broad range of fields including statistical physics of information processing, information theory, high-dimensional statistics, statistical learning and inference, reinforcement learning, stochastic processes and thermodynamics, theoretical ecology etc. Postdoctoral fellows are encouraged, and supported, to participate in activities in developing countries in order to promote the ICTP mission.
Quantitative Life Sciences Theory of neural networks: statistical mechanics, random matrix theory, information-theoretic and algorithmic aspects The selected postdoctoral researcher is expected to carry out active, independent and multidisciplinary research in the broad area of: Theory of neural networks: statistical mechanics, random matrix theory, information-theoretic and algorithmic aspects The appointment will be made for two years , with the possibility of renewal for up to one additional year.
Candidates should have a background in some of the following disciplines: Statistical mechanics, disordered systems and spin glasses High-dimensional statistics Information theory, statistical inference Theory of machine learning, gradient-based dynamics Theory of message passing algorithms Experience in the numerical implementation of machine learning algorithms in addition to the analytic skills is a plus.
Candidates from underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply. The net monthly salary ranges between 2100–2,700 EUR depending on seniority. Benefits include a private health insurance, a pension contribution, special allowances for family members, competitive travel funds as well as computer equipment.

NSF 26-523 folds 12 core physics programs and three cross-cutting ones into a single solicitation with $180 million and roughly 300 awards. Proposals are accepted anytime, but AMO-Experiment and Gravitational Physics still target November 25 and QIS targets December 8. Cost sharing is prohibited, indirect cost rates are now a tiebreaker, and NSF reserves the right to phase out long-duration efforts after comparative review.

Read articleDOE's FY2026 Office of Science open-call solicitation (DE-FOA-0003600) makes roughly $500 million available across about 500 awards of $50,000 to $5 million — across computing, physics, chemistry, biology, fusion, and isotopes — with a rolling window that stays open through September 30, 2026. Unlike a targeted NOFO, it lets investigators propose almost anything within the agency's mission. Here is how the open call actually works, why it is chronically underused, and how to write into it.
