High-performance ceramics play a key role in this work. The research areas of IMD-2 are: materials for high-temperature applications (thermal insulation and protective coatings for hydrogen gas turbines, fusion plants and solar thermal systems), gas separation membranes for hydrogen and oxygen, sorbents for the direct removal of CO₂ from the air, and catalytic membrane reactors for energy-efficient processes, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and electrolyser cells (SOEC) for the production of H2 and CO, and coatings for low-temperature electrolysers, as well as lithium and sodium solid-state batteries with high safety and stability for stationary and mobile applications. The researchers’ expertise, ranging from solid-state chemistry and synthesis through powder-based and wet chemical processing and sintering to thin-film and thermal spraying processes, enables rapid adaptation to new scientific challenges. The experimental activities are complemented by multi-scale modelling (from DFT to fluid dynamics and finite element analysis), leading to a better understanding and prediction of materials and processes.</p><p>Efficient conversion and storage technologies are urgently needed for Germany’s energy transition. Electrolysis technology plays a central role in this effort, as it enables the conversion of excess electrical energy into hydrogen. Proton-conducting membranes play a key role in future hydrogen concepts as electrolytes for proton-conducting ceramic electrolysis and fuel cells (PCEC/PCFC). A promising class of materials for this application are yttrium-doped barium zirconates BaZrxY1-xO3-δ (BZY) and barium cerium zirconates BaZrxCeyY1-x-yO3-δ (BZCY). The electrochemical properties can be further improved through targeted doping with elements such as Y³⁺, Yb³⁺, Al³⁺, Sc³⁺, and In³⁺, as this holds the promise of increasing grain boundary conductivity. At present, the influence of dopant elements on proton conductivity is in most cases investigated through trial-and-error methods, and the targeted use of the segregation of acceptor dopant elements at grain boundaries is still in the beginning.</p><h2>Your Job</h2><ul><li>Powder synthesis and targeted doping of acceptor-doped BZY and BZCY powders via a modified mixed-oxide route</li><li>Sintering of specimens via ultra-fast high-temperature sintering (UHS) and field-assisted sintering (FAST/SPS)</li><li>Optimization of the two sintering methods and establishment of automated data acquisition</li><li>Fundamental characterization of microstructure, phase composition, and conductivity</li><li>Coordination of the characterization of samples produced in Jülich by the project partners</li><li>Data acquisition using eLabFTW and transfer to the central database in Kadi4Mat</li></ul><h2>Your Profile</h2><ul><li>Successfully completed university studies (master) in the field of physics, mechanical engineering, process engineering, materials science or related fields</li><li>Experience in the field of synthesis and processing of ceramic materials via powder technology</li><li>Experience in the compaction of powders using field-assisted sintering methods (FAST/SPS)</li><li>Microstructural characterization using SEM/EDX and phase analysis using XRD</li><li>Basic knowledge of impedance spectroscopy</li><li>Good command of written and spoken English</li><li>Interest in working in a cross-institutional, international research group</li><li>Experimental skills and ability to work independently</li><li>A high degree of teamwork and flexibility as well as the willingness to show great commitment</li></ul><h2>Our Benefits for You</h2><p>We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change!

Scientific narratives shape fields of study and thus determine what is explored and what is ignored. Yet we have essentially no research on how scientific narratives are formed, how they work on the page, how they shape research, and how they change when communicated to the public. Hence, this project aims to lay the foundations for a narratology of the sciences, with a focus on complexity and biodiversity research.<br/><br/><br/>Your Tasks<br/>The work will involve an analysis of narratives in scientific papers and beyond, including both human-led text analysis and the use of automated methods such as language models. We will formulate and test hypotheses on the generation and propagation of narratives in science and critically examine the role of narratives both within individual papers and across research fields. <br/> <br/>Key questions include:<br/><ul><li>How and where do narratives emerge, how do they evolve, and eventually vanish?</li><li>How are narratives presented in different papers?</li><li>To what extent is disciplinary progress driven by narratives or vice versa?</li></ul> <br/> <br/>You’ll be working with an interdisciplinary team of experts that includes, among others, Anton Kirchhofer (Literature), Sina Farzin (Social Science) and Thilo Gross (Network Science), as well as experts from application domains.<br/><br/>Further details<br/> As a Helmholtz Institute, the HIFMB contributes to one of the Helmholtz Research Programs (currently 'Changing Earth – Sustaining our Future') as part of Topic 6 (Marine and Polar Life).

The new Peter Grünberg Institute – Neuromorphic Compute Nodes (PGI-14) aims to close this gap and develop novel computing capabilities by incorporating some of the remarkable features found in biological brains. We aim to lower the energy consumption of today’s hardware while expanding our understanding of the fundamentals of computation. Practical application areas include AI and Machine learning, intractable NP-hard problems, scientific computing, and signal processing. We utilize novel technologies such as analog memristors combined with modern CMOS elements to build practical circuits and integrated chips for end-to-end demonstrations in the laboratory. The institute has close collaborations with the new Peter Grünberg Institute - Neuromorphic Software Ecosystem (PGI-15), as well as device, materials, circuit researchers and neuroscientists within other institutes at the Forschungszentrum Jülich.</p><h2>Your Job</h2><p>You will participate in an international team in an EU-funded Doctoral Network project called MINDnet. The project consists of 15 Ph.D. students at 7 universities, one research center and two companies. The project has partners from eight different EU countries. All 15 Ph.D. projects are within the overall theme of neuromorphic computing and analog signal processing, targeting applications in the fields of communication, sensing, geolocalization, space and biomedical.</p><p>This Ph.D. project will take place at PGI-14 Research Center Jülich. Apart from the time at PGI-14 there will be secondments of 3 months at HPE Belgium (Brussel), SpiNNcloud Systems GmbH (Dresden), and Technical University Ilmenau (Germany).

Despite advances in genetics and disease mechanisms, ALS remains incurable, with most clinical trials failing due to a lack of power and efficacy and high attrition rates. These failures reflect persistent barriers, including disease heterogeneity, reliance on preclinical models with limited predictive power and a lack of coordinated trial infrastructure and opportunities for participation. The CURE-ND4ALS consortium brings together four leading European institutes to overcome these barriers. Within that consortium, the DZNE side Rostock is looking for an enthusiastic scientist interested in working on cohort datasets (clinical, imaging, biomarkers incl.

For example, we are working on the battery of the future and exploring innovative battery concepts. We are also investigating how the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) can be transformed from a climate killer into a raw material of the future. The goal of our research and development work is to create cost-effective batteries, fuel cells, and electrolysers with improved energy and power density, longer service life, and maximum safety! Hydrogen production based on renewable energy sources via high- and low-temperature electrolysis is of increasing importance to us.</p><h2>Your Job</h2><p>At IET-1, we are studying the electrolysis of CO2 for the sustainable conversion of green energy into chemical energy carriers in order to defossilize the chemical industry. The process control and optimization of electrolysis from the cell to the stack requires automated monitoring, analysis, and control of the operating parameters and processes. As part of this project, high-throughput experimental systems will be enhanced using Design of Experiment (DoE) approaches in order to efficiently explore the high-dimensional parameter space of the electrolysis processes. DoE is essential for data-efficient exploration and optimization of the process parameter space, as well as for adaptive, data-driven machine learning approaches to map the electrolysis process to a digital twin. In parallel, data workflows and system control interfaces (application programming interface, API) are being developed to automate both process monitoring as well as process control. The API-based integration of the digital twin into the process control of the CO2 electrolysis enables autonomous operation of the system, which can differentiate between market-, system- or network-based operating modes depending on requirements.</p><p>Your Project Tasks &amp; Structure:</p><ul><li>Development of APIs for electrolysis systems and analysis devices</li><li>Implementation of autonomous process control</li><li>Conceptualization and implementation of degradation models for electrolysis</li><li>Studying performance and degradation of electrolysis in dependence on different operating modes</li></ul><h2>Your Profile</h2><ul><li>Excellent Master's degree and subsequent PhD in chemical engineering, computational engineering, computational mathematics, data sciences / analysis, system or process engineering, or related fields</li><li>Excellent knowledge of API programming and automation engineering such as LabVIEW and/or EPICS</li><li>Comprehensive knowledge of data science, data analysis, data management as well as machine learning</li><li>Advanced programming skills with python</li><li>Experience with data-driven machine learning (SINDy, LASSO, SISSO packages)</li><li>Basic knowledge of electrochemistry is desirable</li><li>Interest in interdisciplinary research projects and excellent cooperation and communication skills as well as teamworking skills</li><li>Very good command of written and spoken English with extensive vocabulary is required (at least B2 level according to the CEFR</li></ul><p>), ideally supported by a certificate confirming the language level.

In order to keep the rise in global warming below 2ºC (Paris Agreement), it has become clear that the mere reduction of greenhouse gas emissions will not be sufficient and that CO2 drawdown from the atmosphere will be essential. One technological solution is the pyrolytic fixation of photosynthetically generated biomass to biochar. Biochar products are mainly used as an agricultural enhancer, whereas the coal itself remains inert and leads to long-term storage of CO2-derived carbon in soils. To significantly increase the extent of CO2 drawdown with the biochar technique, we will explore the potential and environmental risks of biochar generated from various organic-rich municipal waste streams, such as sewage sludge, particle board wood remains, other waste wood, compost sieve overflow, etc. In addition to the production of biochar, the research will focus in particular on the release of organic pollutants and heavy metals from the coal.</p> <strong><span>Your responsibilities:</span></strong><ul><li>Process development for the production of biochar from various waste streams</li><li>Analysis of the biochar produced for organic pollutants and heavy metals</li><li>Leaching tests to simulate the natural release of pollutants from the biochar</li></ul> <strong><span>About You:</span></strong><p>Essential Qualifications:&nbsp;</p><ul><li>A Master’s degree or equivalent in Organic Chemistry/Geochemistry, Geology or environmental science</li><li>Experience in the analysis of organic compounds</li><li>Good written and spoken English</li><li>Ability to work as part of a team and willingness to work in an interdisciplinary environment</li></ul><p>Desirable Qualifications:</p><ul><li>Experience in the production of biochar and/or in leaching experiments</li><li>Experience in fieldwork, including sampling</li><li>Category B driving licence</li></ul> <strong><span>What we offer:</span></strong><ul><li>Ambitious and varied tasks in a dynamic and international research environment</li><li>State-of-the-art equipment</li><li>Public service benefits</li><li>Extensive training opportunities</li><li>Professional career advice offered by our in-house Career Centre</li><li>Flexible working hours and conditions</li><li>Support with finding a good work-life balance is offered by benefit@work</li><li>Institute day-care centre on site</li><li>Working at the Albert Einstein Science Park on the Telegrafenberg in Potsdam&nbsp;</li><li>Workplace within walking distance of Potsdam main train station, or just a short ride on the shuttle bus&nbsp;</li></ul> <strong><span>Start date:</span></strong> 1st October 2026<br/><strong><span>Fixed-term:</span></strong> 36 months<br/><strong><span>Salary:</span></strong> The position is classed as salary group 13 according to “TVöD Bund ”.

We focus on non-equilibrium systems, where internal activity and/or external driving forces maintain the system away from thermal equilibrium, leading to complex structure formation, dynamics, and flow behavior. Examples include collective behavior of self-propelled objects, the flow behavior of biofluids, cellular and tissue organization.</p><p>More information about us you can find on the</p><p>IAS-2 website</p><h2>Your Job</h2><p>The field of active matter is represented by systems made up of individual units that consume energy to generate motion or mechanical forces, causing the system to organize and behave collectively. The energy is continuously injected at the level of the individual particles or agents, keeping the system out of equilibrium. Examples of active matter include bacterial colonies, cytoskeleton formed by filaments and driven by molecular motors, motile cells in a tissue, self-propelled particles and their collectives. Even though the complexity and diverse properties of active systems make their investigation very challenging, active matter research presents great opportunities for finding novel physical mechanisms and for using such systems in possible applications.</p><p>In this PhD project, we will combine numerical simulations and machine learning in order to better understand and characterize active matter systems. A possible direction is to use physics-informed machine learning techniques to connect mesoscopic properties of active units within a collective to its macroscopic behavior based on simulation data. Another possibility is to equip active units with learning capabilities or adaptive interactions in order to steer the emergent behavior of a collective. The base of the PhD project will be numerical simulations of active systems, where machine learning will be used as a tool to better understand them or augment their behavior in a controlled way.</p><p>Specifically, your tasks will be:</p><ul><li>Running numerical simulations of active systems</li><li>Using physics-informed machine learning techniques to characterize their behavior</li><li>Improving and developing new models</li><li>Participating in conferences in Germany and abroad (incl. presenting your research results)</li><li>Preparing scientific publications and project reports</li></ul><h2>Your Profile</h2><ul><li>A master's degree or diploma in physics, applied mathematics, or a relevant engineering discipline</li><li>Strong motivation for an interdisciplinary project that combines numerical models, simulations, and machine learning</li><li>Good programming skills and experience with numerical modeling</li><li>High degree of independence and commitment</li><li>Very good command of written and spoken English with extensive vocabulary is required (at least B2 level according to the CEFR</li></ul><p>), ideally supported by a certificate confirming the language level</p><ul><li>Experience with machine learning and high-performance computing is advantageous, but not necessary</li></ul><h2>Our Benefits for You</h2><p>We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change!
