Postdoctoral Position in Reactive Membranes, Photo- and Electrocatalysis for Micropollutant Removal Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) / Institute for Advanced Membrane Technology (IAMT) is advertising a postdoctoral position in reactive membranes, with a strong focus on membrane technology, chemical engineering, photo-catalysis, electrocatalysis, and micropollutant removal.

The position is hosted by Professor Andrea Iris Schäfer, Director of IAMT and Professor of Water Process Engineering. The research environment is highly process-engineering-oriented and aims to continue IAMT’s well-published work on membrane photo- and electrocatalysis for water treatment and contaminant removal.

Ideal applicants should have an outstanding track record in membrane technology and chemical engineering, plus strong engineering skills and hands-on membrane experience. The post emphasizes the ability to read and write scientific papers, pursue high-impact publications, and solve real-life problems with practical judgment. Exceptional candidates without a PhD may also be considered if they can demonstrate leadership capabilities.

The appointment is available for one year initially, with a likely extension possibility depending on future funding opportunities. The post is being filled urgently and will remain open until filled; applications are considered as soon as a complete package is submitted.
