Area of research: . Scientific / postdoctoral posts. Job description: . Reference No. HI 2026/12 . The Helmholtz Institute HIPOLE: Helmholtz-Institute for Polymers in Energy Applications Jena (HI-POLE) is looking for . Postdoc (m/f/d) for Reactor Design for Energy-Efficient CO₂ Capture by Electric Swing Adsorption at HIPOLE Jena . Your Tasks. Synthesis of carbon materials and carbon–polymer composites, preferably derived from biogenic feedstocks or other sustainable carbon sources. Characterization of the synthesized materials using, among other techniques, gas physisorption measurements and determination of process-relevant parameters, including CO₂ and N₂ adsorption capacities and selectivities under varying humidity conditions, and the electrical conductivity, as well as investigation of their influence on the electric swing adsorption (ESA) process. Independent development and optimization of an experimental setup, including a cell, to assess the suitability of the produced materials for electrical swing adsorption considering different adsorber geometries. Conducting laboratory-scale experiments with the adsorbent materials to derive material properties, process parameters, and design criteria for the laboratory-scale reactor. Scale-up of the synthesis process to the kilogram scale. Pr
