About this position

HIPOLE Jena is advertising a PhD student (m/f/d) position in theoretical chemistry of polymers for energy applications, with a focus on self-healing polymer materials for battery-related uses. The project combines polymer chemistry, materials modeling, quantum chemistry, density functional theory, molecular dynamics, and machine learning to study chemical processes, derive structure-property relationships, and develop efficient screening methods for optimizing materials.

The position is based at HIPOLE Jena in Jena, Germany, an institute of Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB) in cooperation with Friedrich Schiller University Jena / CEEC. The role includes close collaboration with experimental groups, documentation and publication of results, and supervision of bachelor’s and master’s students.

Eligibility highlights: a master’s degree in chemistry or a comparable field, strong experience in organic chemistry and/or polymer chemistry or catalysis, experience with analytical methods for polymer characterization, and very good written and spoken English.

Funding: fixed-term employment for 36 months with salary according to TVöD-Bund, plus benefits such as flexible working hours, remote work options, paid leave, pension scheme, and a job ticket subsidy.

Application deadline: 27 August 2026. Applications must be submitted through the online application management system; email or postal applications are not accepted.
