PhD Position in Industrial Electrochemistry | PhD Position in Industrial Electrochemistry

Job Summary

This PhD position offers a unique opportunity to join an interdisciplinary team of chemists and engineers at Ruhr University Bochum, focused on advancing the energy transition. As a research associate, you will contribute to the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV by developing high-performance membrane electrode assemblies for electrochemical CO₂ reduction. Your day-to-day work will involve designing, fabricating, and optimizing catalyst-coated electrodes, operating zero-gap flow cell systems, and utilizing advanced spectroscopic methods to analyze material structures under operating conditions. The role is ideal for a candidate with a Master’s degree in Chemistry or Materials Science who possesses strong hands-on experience in electrochemical characterization. This position is particularly attractive due to its integration into a high-level research cluster, the use of state-of-the-art analytical tools, and the focus on scalable solutions for climate protection, such as hydrogen generation and CO₂ conversion.
