Postdoctoral Researcher in Solvation Science (Chemistry/Physics) | Open postdoctoral positions in Research Area I of the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV
Ruhr-Universität Bochum
Job Summary
This is an exciting opportunity for highly motivated Postdoctoral Researchers to join the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV, focusing on Research Area I: local solvation phenomena in nano heterogeneous environments. The role involves conducting advanced research into solvation thermodynamics, site-specific solvent properties (polarity, proticity, pH), and de/re-solvation processes relevant to bio-electrochemistry and electrocatalysis. The work aims to extend key concepts of Solvation Science to spatially and time-resolved properties, impacting innovative energy conversion, storage devices, sensor technology, and drug design. Candidates must hold a doctoral degree in Chemistry, Physics, or a related field, possess experience in disciplines like electrocatalysis, synthesis, advanced spectroscopy, theoretical chemistry, or chemical engineering, and be fascinated by interdisciplinary Solvation Science. The position offers structured postdoctoral training, career coaching, and a two-year temporary contract.
