Postdoctoral Researcher in Solvation Science | Postdoctoral positions in Research Area III of the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV (m,f,x)
Ruhr-Universität Bochum
Job Summary
This role offers a prestigious two-year postdoctoral position within the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV, focusing on Research Area III: Solvation Science. As a researcher, you will contribute to the design of stable chemical formulations, aiming to prevent phase changes while maintaining the functionality of active molecules and biomolecules. Your daily work will involve investigating the influence of liquid environments on hydrophobic pharmaceuticals and uncovering the mechanisms of enzyme activity in liquid condensates. This position is particularly attractive due to its structured training platform, which combines high-level individual research with comprehensive career coaching for paths in academia, industry, and entrepreneurship. You will work in a highly interdisciplinary environment, mapping local hydration changes and liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) even within living cells, making it a unique opportunity for scientists looking to bridge the gap between fundamental chemical physics and biological applications.
