About this position

HIPOLE Jena, the Helmholtz Institute for Polymers in Energy Applications, is seeking a PhD student to work on the synthesis and characterization of redox-active polymers for sustainable energy storage and conversion technologies.

The project is affiliated with the Collaborative Research Center TRR234 CataLight and based in the research group of Prof. Dr. Ulrich S. Schubert. CataLight investigates the controlled integration of molecular, light-driven catalytic units into hierarchically structured soft-matter matrix systems, with the aim of converting solar energy into chemical reactivity.

The doctoral researcher will synthesize redox-active monomers and polymers and investigate their properties using methods ranging from structural analysis to electrochemical characterization. The work will also involve coupling redox-active polymers with photocatalytic units and studying photocatalytic reactions, including hydrogen evolution and alcohol oxidation.

Results will be analyzed, presented, and published in English. The researcher will work with an interdisciplinary and international team at HIPOLE Jena, collaborating with researchers from CataLight and contributing to the development of novel polymer materials and climate-friendly energy technologies.

Funding details

This is a fixed-term 36-month position paid according to the German public-sector collective agreement TVöD-Bund. Benefits include 30 days of paid leave, flexible working hours, possible remote work, health management, company pension scheme, transport-ticket subsidy, development opportunities, and participation in the CataLight integrated graduate programme.

What's required

Applicants must have a successful master’s degree in chemistry or a comparable field. Extensive and proven experience in organic chemistry and/or polymer chemistry is required, along with experience in organic synthesis and ideally polymer synthesis. Experience with analytical methods for polymer characterization is expected. Very good knowledge of electrochemistry and ideally photocatalysis, very good written and spoken English, commitment, initiative, problem-solving skills, teamwork, reliability, independence, and communication abilities are required.

How to apply

Apply through the HIPOLE Jena application management system by 15 November 2026. Applications sent by email or mail cannot be considered.
