Postdoctoral Researcher in Solvation Science | Postdoctoral positions in Research Area I 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 I: Solvent Control of Chemical Dynamics. As a researcher, you will investigate the role of solvents in charge and electron transfer processes, utilizing advanced methodologies such as molecular resolution imaging, superconducting colliders, and machine learning potentials for quantum simulations. The position is highly interdisciplinary, bridging the gap between chemistry, physics, and engineering to unravel non-equilibrium processes at electrified interfaces and molecular energy conversion. What makes this position unique is the structured postdoctoral training platform, which provides not only high-level research training but also dedicated career coaching for paths in academia, industry, and entrepreneurship. You will work in a collaborative, world-class scientific environment with a focus on cutting-edge topics like ultra-low temperature chemistry and quantum solvation effects.
