About this position

The University of Rostock’s Faculty of Agriculture, Civil Engineering and Environment is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher / Research Associate in Waste and Material Flow Management for the Entalit research project at the Chair of Waste and Material Flow Management.

The researcher will develop and conduct technology, sustainability, and system assessments, including defining system boundaries and recording and evaluating relevant material, water, and energy flows. A central part of the project is the scientific development, piloting, and scaling of a process engineering chain for the preparation and processing of dandelion roots.

The role also involves supporting the construction and commissioning of a pilot plant, developing and integrating in-process analytics, and identifying suitable measuring and sampling points in cooperation with the chemical industry. The postdoctoral researcher will document project progress, contribute to work-package and project reports, and present project and development results in project meetings, working-group seminars, and discussions with research and industry partners.

The position offers an interdisciplinary research environment combining environmental engineering, process engineering, sustainability assessment, environmental analytics, biotechnology, and chemical-industry collaboration. The researcher will contribute to scientific publications and project-related results reports while working with partners across research and industry.

Funding details

Full-time employment (40 hours per week) at pay grade 13 TV-L. The position is funded through the Entalit research project and is fixed-term until May 31, 2029. Benefits include 30 days of annual leave, an annual special payment, occupational pension provision, and other university employee benefits.

What's required

Applicants must hold a completed university degree (Diploma, Master's or equivalent) in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Technology, Process Engineering, Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering or a comparable field, with at least a good grade, and a completed doctorate in one of these fields with at least a good result. Fluent German at C1 level and English at least at B2 level are required, as is a category B driving licence and willingness to drive to the project partner in Anklam. Applicants need sufficient physical fitness for experiments at semi-technical and large technical scale, the ability to document, analyse and present research results, willingness to learn new areas, strong communication and teamwork skills, and an independent, structured, reliable, well-organised working style. Experience in an environmental technology or environmental analytics laboratory/technical centre and relevant interdisciplinary project experience are desirable.

How to apply

Submit a complete application consisting of a cover letter, CV, and degree certificate showing the final grade by November 15, 2026. Apply only through the University of Rostock homepage using the “Online-Bewerbung” button at the end of the job advertisement; email applications are not accepted.
