About this position

The Cluster of Excellence RESOLV at Ruhr University Bochum invites applications for postdoctoral research positions in Research Area III, Tuning Stability and Homogeneity. RESOLV is an interdisciplinary Solvation Science initiative bringing together more than 200 researchers across experimental chemistry, theory, chemical physics and chemical engineering.

Postdoctoral researchers will contribute to the design of highly stable formulations that prevent phase changes while preserving the functionality of active molecules, including chemical entities and biomolecules. One research direction focuses on customized mesophase structures to improve the solubility and bioavailability of hydrophobic pharmaceuticals. Other projects investigate why enzymes become more active in the solvent environment of liquid condensates formed through liquid-liquid phase separation and seek to map local hydration changes and liquid-liquid phase separation in living cells.

The research environment supports approaches including thermodynamic measurements and modelling, formulation design, biophysical chemistry, time-resolved spectroscopy, theoretical chemistry, electronic-structure calculations, cellular biochemistry and protein engineering. Researchers join RESOLV’s structured postdoctoral training platform, the International Faculty Solvation Science and a high-profile, internationally connected research community.

Funding details

The position is full-time at 39.83 hours per week (100%) for two years and is salaried under the public-service collective agreement TV-L, pay grade E13, subject to personal and collective agreement requirements. Funding is available for visits to international conferences. The position includes access to postdoctoral training, career coaching, lectures and transferable-skills courses.

What's required

Applicants must hold a top-grade full university degree and a doctorate in Chemistry, Physics, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering or a comparable subject. Applicants should have an excellent track record, an interest in interdisciplinary Solvation Science, and experience in at least one relevant area: chemical engineering with thermodynamic measurements and modelling or formulation design; biophysical chemistry; time-resolved spectroscopic techniques; theoretical chemistry including simulations or electronic-structure calculations; or cellular biochemistry and protein engineering. Professional English proficiency of at least B2, spoken and written, is required. Competence in at least German or English and willingness to learn the other language are prerequisites.

How to apply

Discuss a possible project with a RESOLV Principal Investigator or Participating Scientist serving as a potential host before applying. Submit a complete application consisting of a CV, hosting agreement and one-page project outline as a single PDF through the online application portal, mentioning reference number ANR 6279.
