Starte jetzt als Open doctoral positions in the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV Ref.-Nr. w04-19 bei Technische Universität Dortmund in Dortmund

With more than 6,200 employees in research, teaching and administration and its unique profile, TU Dortmund University shapes prospects for the future:

The cooperation between engineering and natural sciences as well as social and cultural studies promotes both technological innovations and progress

in knowledge and methodology. And it is not only the more than 34,600 students who benefit from that.

RESOLV is a world-leading interdisciplinary research institution in Solva-

tion Science awarded as a Cluster of Excellence by the German Excel-

lence Strategy. Within RESOLV, more than 200 scientists at six institu-

tions in the Ruhr area covering experimental chemistry, theory and

chemical engineering investigate how solvents are involved in the con-

trol, mediation and regulation of chemical reactions and processes. RE-

SOLV’s mission stretches from fundamental research to the translation

into applications such as green technologies or smart sensors.

RESOLV seeks to attract highly motivated students with a top-level

Master’s degree (iGSS Track I) or with a top-level Bachelor’s degree

(iGSS Track II) who will work in an inspiring and exciting research envi-

ronment. The iGSS offers a graduate program that combines cutting-

edge research with a curriculum of lectures, colloquia, and workshops,

augmented by international experiences. Doctoral students will be em-
