About this position
Ruhr University Bochum is presenting a November 2026 overview of postdoctoral opportunities across several research areas and research environments. The openings span engineering, computer science, neuroscience, mathematics, chemistry, and media-related research, offering prospective postdoctoral researchers multiple routes to continue their academic careers in Germany.
Featured opportunities include work on wireless communication networks under Prof. Aydin Sezgin and open-topic IT security positions within CASA, the Cluster of Excellence. The overview also highlights computational neuroscience in Prof. Sen Cheng’s laboratory, connected with SFB 1280 “Extinction Learning.”
In mathematics, an ERC-funded position focuses on low-dimensional topology and knot theory. Additional postdoctoral positions are available across all three research areas of the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV, whose work is centred on solvation science. The post also notes that Media Studies has joined the fields covered by Ruhr University Bochum scouts who can nominate international researchers through the Henriette Herz Scouting Program.
The opportunities are associated with research groups, laboratories, faculties, and interdisciplinary Centres of Excellence at Ruhr University Bochum. The attached Research School overview provides the specific research topics, contract details, and application routes for the individual openings.
