Applications are invited for a fully funded 2-year postdoctoral position at the Laboratoire de Physique de l’École Normale Supérieure (LPENS) in Paris. The project investigates disordered and driven two-dimensional materials, with a focus on fundamental questions in statistical physics. The work is primarily numerical, and we seek candidates with experience in particle-based simulations (e.g., molecular dynamics) and a strong interest in large-scale computational studies. The postdoc will also interact closely with a PhD student working on the behavior of liquids confined by such 2D materials—connecting the research to broader questions in nanofluidics. The successful applicant will work directly under my supervision and will have opportunities for collaboration within LPENS and internationally, including with colleagues at the University of Chicago. The net monthly salary is estimated between 2400–2600 EUR, depending on experience. The starting date is flexible, with a preferred window in Fall 2025 or early 2026.
Interested candidates should send a CV and a short research statement or motivation letter to camille.scalliet@phys.ens.fr. Informal inquiries via email are welcome. The advertisement will remain open until the position is filled. |

I am a chargée de recherche at CNRS, based in the laboratoire de physique de l'École Normale Supérieure in Paris. As a theoretical physicist, I work on various problems in soft and condensed matter, with a focus on the statistical physics of disordered systems. I search for new dynamic and thermodynamic behaviors combining analytical and computational approaches, and investigate how they emerge from disorder and non-equilibrium conditions. In 2016, I graduated in Physics from the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon. I received my PhD in 2019 from the University of Montpellier, advised by L. Berthier and F. Zamponi (ENS, Paris). I then joined the University of Cambridge as a postdoctoral researcher working with M. E. Cates. In 2020 I became an Herchel Smith postdoctoral Fellow based in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge, and a Fellow of Sidney Sussex College (2020-2023). In 2022, I was awarded the Young Scientist Prize in Statistical Physics from the International Union for Pure and Applied Physics. I was awarded a L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Young Talents France Fellowship in 2018. For more information please visit the Research, Publications, Talks or CV pages. |

We employ machine learning-driven molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the rippling dynamics of freestanding graphene sheets in the absence or presence of atomic defects. We demonstrate the presence of a disorder-induced dynamic transition from freely propagating ripples to frozen and static buckling.

We investigate the (anti)-correlation between locally favored structures and dynamic excitations in computer model glass-formers and colloidal experiments. We find that excitations occur increasingly further away from locally favored structures with supercooling below the mode-coupling crossover.
