PhD and postdoctoral opportunities are being shared for the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS-CPQM) and the Max Planck Society in Germany. The PhD call focuses on the physics and chemistry of quantum materials in Dresden and is described as a prestigious doctoral training program. It is fully funded on the Max Planck PhD scale, with a deadline of 30 November 2026. A separate postdoctoral call is also mentioned: the Max Planck Postdoc Program, a centralized opportunity for postdocto...

The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France, offers a PhD position focused on in situ neutron diffraction for green steel and functional metal oxides. The successful candidate will join the diffraction group at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), working with powder diffractometers D1B and D20, which are specialized for time-resolved in situ investigations of solids, phase transitions, and chemical reactions. The project centers on elucidating reaction pathways for hydro...

PhD position in chemistry at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Bonn , in the group of Prof. Nikolay Kornienko . The project sits at the intersection of electrocatalysis , electrosynthesis , and operando spectroscopy , with a focus on lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction to ammonia . The research will investigate a palladium membrane reactor that delivers hydrogen from water directly to the Li/LiNx interface. You will study how operating conditions affect SEI formation and NH₃ yi...

Technical University of Munich (TUM) is advertising a PhD position in Materials Science / Polymer Physics within the Professorship for Particle and Fiber Technology. The project, LaserCell , is funded by an ERC Starting Grant and focuses on the processing of bio-based polymers such as cellulose and proteins from renewable feedstocks and waste streams. The research aims to develop sustainable processes that convert these materials into high-performance fibers and functional materials. A central s...
