This postdoctoral project at the CNRS explores how to control the permeability of water-in-water emulsions stabilized by self-assembled lyotropic phases at the droplet interface. These emulsions, formed from phase separation in aqueous polymer solutions such as PEG and dextran, are attractive for encapsulation and controlled release of hydrophilic molecules without oil or organic solvent. The research sits within the ANR SHEILA project and focuses on making interfacial transport stimulus-respons...

About this position

The Technical University of Darmstadt is seeking a Research Associate / PhD Student in Computational Physical Chemistry within the Computational Physical Chemistry research group led by Prof. Nico van der Vegt.

The group develops and applies theoretical and computational methods to understand the behavior of soft matter, with particular interest in polymers, biomolecules, and the role of water in determining their properties and interactions. The research environment is centered on molecular simulations and statistical thermodynamics.

The doctoral researcher will develop models and algorithms for computer simulations under constant-pH conditions. The project includes validating the methods through simulations and investigating the pH-dependent self-organization of amphiphilic systems. The role also involves preparing scientific reports and publications, developing project results with students, presenting research findings, and managing scientific collaborations related to the project.

Additional activities include preserving research data, contributing to related side projects, maintaining the group’s research infrastructure, administering servers, installing and maintaining scientific software, and supporting equipment procurement and repair. The researcher will also contribute to physical chemistry lectures and supervise tutorials.

The position offers a research-focused doctoral environment in an international computational chemistry group at the Technical University of Darmstadt.
