The Chair of Carbon Sources and Conversionat the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is looking for a
Postdoc (m,f,x) for the period until 31.12.2024 (end of project) with 39,83 hours per week, TV-L E13
Carbon Sources and Conversion develops concepts for the sustainable use of carbon. The focus is on the use of carbon from renewable, industrial and domestic sources, the development of conversion technologies and products and research into the fundamentals of anthropogenic carbon cycles. Ecologically and economically promising conversion technologies are demonstrated at laboratory and pilot scale.
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher (m,f,x) (39.83 hours per week) to work on innovative carbon-based materials and challenging research topics in the field of environmental technology. The focus will be on the development of carbon materials for agricultural and construction applications. The postdoc (m,f,x) will explore the fundamentals of the technology at laboratory scale and establish the appropriate process engineering to scale up the chemical conversion to industrial scale. Tasks will include experimental design, high pressure reactor operation, detailed characterization of carbon materials and complex inorganic phases and determination of reaction kinetics.

The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of Germany’s leading research universities, addressing the whole range of academic disciplines. A highly dynamic setting enables researchers and students to work across the traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties. To create knowledge networks within and beyond the university is RUB’s declared aim.
The Ruhr-Universität Bochum stands for diversity and equal opportunities. For this reason, we favour a working environment composed of heterogeneous teams, and seek to promote the careers of individuals who are underrepresented in our respective professional areas. The Ruhr-Universität Bochum expressly requests job applications from women. In areas in which they are underrepresented they will be given preference in the case of equivalent qualifications with male candidates. Applications from individuals with disabilities are most welcome.
