About this position

Ruhr University Bochum invites applications for full-time postdoctoral positions in Research Area I of the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV, a leading interdisciplinary research initiative in Solvation Science.

Research in Area I, “Charge and Electron Transfer: The Solvent in Action,” investigates how solvents control, mediate, and regulate non-equilibrium charge and electron transfer processes. Projects address electrified interfaces, molecular energy conversion, and quantum phenomena, connecting fundamental chemical research with advanced experimental and computational approaches.

Potential projects include developing methods to image solvents at molecular resolution and obtain space- and time-resolved views of key chemical processes. Other directions explore quantum solvation effects through a superconducting collider and highly accurate machine-learning potentials for quantum simulations of cryogenic processes.

RESOLV brings together more than 200 scientists across six institutions in the Ruhr area, spanning experimental chemistry, theoretical chemistry, chemical physics, and chemical engineering. Postdoctoral researchers join a high-profile research environment and the International Faculty Solvation Science, with opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, career coaching, entrepreneurship, lectures, and transferable-skills training.

Applicants are encouraged to identify a RESOLV Principal Investigator or Participating Scientist whose expertise aligns with their proposed project and to develop a suitable hosting arrangement before applying.

Funding details

This is a full-time, fixed-term two-year salaried postdoctoral position at 39.83 hours per week. Compensation is according to the public-service collective agreement TV-L, pay grade E13 TV-L when the personal and collective agreement requirements are met. Funding is provided for visiting international conferences.

What's required

Applicants must hold a top-grade full university degree and a doctorate in Chemistry, Chemical Physics, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a comparable subject. Candidates should be fascinated by interdisciplinary Solvation Science and have experience in at least one relevant area, including theoretical chemistry, simulations, machine-learning potentials, electronic-structure calculations, bio- or electrocatalysis, organic or coordination chemistry, synthesis of small reactive intermediates, time-resolved spectroscopy, microscopy at interfaces or surfaces, chemical engineering, thermodynamic measurement and modelling, or ultra-low-temperature chemistry. Professional English proficiency at least at B2 level, orally and in writing, is required. Competence in at least German or English and willingness to learn the other language are prerequisites.

How to apply

Contact a RESOLV Principal Investigator or Participating Scientist to discuss and arrange a potential host and project before applying. Submit a complete application as one PDF through the online application portal, including a CV, hosting agreement, and one-page outline of a possible RESOLV project. Mention reference number ANR 6277.
