About this position

HIPOLE Jena, the Helmholtz Institute for Polymers in Energy Applications Jena, is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to work on sustainable polymer research for energy applications.

The project focuses on organic and polymer-based redox-flow batteries, with particular emphasis on developing new active materials. The researcher will synthesize and characterize novel molecules and polymers designed for use in organic and polymer-based redox-flow battery systems.

The role also includes assembling polymer redox-flow batteries and carrying out their electrochemical characterization. Results will be summarized, presented, and published in English. The work contributes to the development of efficient, scalable, low-cost, and sustainably produced energy technologies for a climate-friendly future.

The postdoctoral researcher will join a young, international, and interdisciplinary institute in Jena and collaborate with researchers from around the world. HIPOLE is an institute of Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie located on the campus of Friedrich Schiller University Jena and working in cooperation with the Center for Energy and Environmental Chemistry Jena.

Funding details

This is a fixed-term 24-month postdoctoral research associate position. The salary is based on the German public-sector collective agreement TVöD-Bund. Benefits include 30 days of paid leave, health management, a company pension scheme, Deutschlandticket/Jobticket subsidy, flexible working arrangements, and professional development opportunities.

What's required

Applicants must have completed a PhD in polymer chemistry, electrochemistry, or a related field; extensive and proven experience in organic chemistry and/or polymer chemistry; experience with analytical methods for polymer characterization; general computer skills including Windows and Office; very good knowledge of electrochemistry; and excellent written and spoken English. Commitment, initiative, problem-solving ability, willingness to learn diverse responsibilities, teamwork, reliability, independence, and communication skills are also expected.

How to apply

Apply online through the HIPOLE Jena application management system by 15 November 2026. Applications submitted by email or post will not be considered.
