Open postdoctoral positions in Research Area III of the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV
Dein Job
RESOLV is a world-leading interdisciplinary research project in Solvation Science awarded as a Cluster of Excellence by the German Excellence Strategy. Within RESOLV, more than 200 scientists at six institutions in the Ruhr area covering experimental chemistry, theory and chemical engineering investigate how solvents are involved in the control, mediation and regulation of chemical reactions and processes. The research focuses on three main areas: I) Local Solvent Fluctuations in Heterogeneous Systems, II) Solvent Control of Chemical Dynamics and Reactivity, and III) Solvation Under Extreme Conditions. RESOLV’s mission stretches from fundamental research to applications and products. For more information, please refer to our website (www.solvation.de).
Open postdoctoral positions in Research Area III of the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV (m,f,x)
RESOLV has established a structured postdoctoral training platform with an emphasis on both individual research training and career coaching in academia, industry, and entrepreneurship. Applications for full-time postdoctoral researchers for temporary subprojects (2 years, 39.83 h/week, payment according to public service’s wage agreement TV-L E13) are welcome.
Your tasks:
- In Research Area III, RESOLV tackles the challenge of how to control conformational dynamics and chemical reactivity under stressed solvent conditions, which is of key importance for the development and optimization of chemical processes. Advancing the understanding of solvation under extreme conditions will grant access to new technological applications, ranging from homogeneous and (bio-)catalysis, to the stabilization of bio-products. These studies also strongly impact on other disciplines such as astrochemistry, astrobiology and green chemistry.
Dein Profil
Your profile:
- You hold a full university degree with a doctorate in Chemistry, Physics, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering or comparable subjects.
- You are fascinated by the interdisciplinary research field Solvation Science.
- You have experience in one of the following disciplines: bio- or homogenous catalysis, synthesis (cryo-, organic or coordination chemistry), electrochemistry, (time-resolved) spectroscopic techniques, microscopy at interfaces and on surfaces, theoretical chemistry (simulations or electronic structure calculations), or chemical engineering (thermodynamic measurements and modelling).
- You have a solid knowledge of English in a professional environment (at least level B2, oral and written).
Our offerings:
- You will be embedded in a high-profile research environment.
- You are integrated in the International Faculty Solvation Science.
- You will benefit from personal development possibilities, the entrepreneurial attitude within RESOLV and a broad spectrum of lectures as well as transferable skills courses.
- You are provided with funding for visiting international conferences.

The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of Germany’s leading research universities, addressing the whole range of academic disciplines. A highly dynamic setting enables researchers and students to work across the traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties. To create knowledge networks within and beyond the university is RUB’s declared aim.
The Ruhr-Universität Bochum stands for diversity and equal opportunities. For this reason, we favour a working environment composed of heterogeneous teams, and seek to promote the careers of individuals who are underrepresented in our respective professional areas. The Ruhr-Universität Bochum expressly requests job applications from women. In areas in which they are underrepresented they will be given preference in the case of equivalent qualifications with male candidates. Applications from individuals with disabilities are most welcome.
