Job description:

Your Job:

To achieve the goal of greenhouse gas neutrality, so-called negative emission paths must be followed to compensate for remaining residual emissions, in addition to the strict defossilization of the economic system. CO2 capture from ambient air and its storage represents an important technical solution in this context. In your master thesis you will develop approaches based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) to evaluate the increasing number of patents and scientific publications. The goal is to identify both disruptive and incremental innovations for the much-needed DAC technology. The basis of the work is a classification of DAC technologies as well as their functional descriptions, which was developed in cooperation with technology experts. Based on this, a methodology will be developed and prototypically implemented to identify innovations in the field of these technologies in a large patent dataset in addition to evaluating them with respect to their relevance. In the last step, it will be discussed to what extent the developed methods can be transferred to the evaluation of scientific articles.

  • Familiarization yourself with the topic (NLP, Large Language Models, Patents, Direct Air Capture)
  • Development of the methodology in close cooperation with the supervisors
  • Creation of data sets (partly automatically by heuristics, partly manually)
  • Prototypical development of the individual modules
  • Identification of textual descriptions of technical solutions in patents
  • Identification of the advantages and disadvantages of a technical solution with respect to the prior art
  • Integration of the modules into a pipeline for identification and evaluation of technical solutions


Your Profile:

  • Technical master studies with high affinity to Natural Language Processing (mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, construction engineering) or information technology study background with high interest in technical applications (computer science, computational linguistics)
  • Good knowledge of Python
  • Experience in NLP and in dealing with language models advantageous
  • Interest in technical design issues
  • Independent and analytical way of working
  • Fluent written and spoken English




Our Offer:

We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We support you in your work with:

  • A large research campus with green spaces, offering the best possible means for networking with colleagues and pursuing sports alongside work
  • A highly motivated and international working group in one of the largest research institutions in Europe
  • Excellent scientific and technical infrastructure
  • An interesting and socially relevant topic for your thesis with a future-oriented theme
  • Intensive supervision by scientific colleagues
  • Very good technical equipment for successful work in the home office
  • Appropriate remuneration for your work

Area of research:

Work placement


Job description:

Your Job:

Our Modeling and Simulation Group offers an interdisciplinary and agile research environment within a dynamic and diverse group. The project is an excellent example for research at the interface of computational systems biology and mathematics/statistics with a strong attitude to open research software development. For more information visit www.fz-juelich.de/ibg/ibg-1/modsim or github.com/modsim.

Quantifying the activity of enzymes operating within the large-scale biochemical network is a fundamental challenge in Systems Bio(tech)nology. Here, the unknown parameters must be inferred from models that are incomplete and data that involve errors. For such challenges, Bayesian analysis using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) has become the gold standard.

For addressing high dimensional parameter inference problems with Bayesian statistics, powerful MCMC methods have been proposed, for example the MCMC differential evolution and the Riemann Manifold Langevin Monte Carlo methods. Because of the specific structure of the inference problems occurring in metabolic models, direct application of these MCMC algorithms is, however, not possible.

In this project, you will bring MCMC methods into the setting of metabolic flux inference and, with inspiration from existing algorithms, develop tailored MCMC algorithms. You will implement the ensuing algorithms in an existing C++ framework, validate and benchmark them with a realistic case study.

The main focus of the project can develop either more in the mathematical theory of MCMC, the implementation of code for the Jülich supercomputers (GPU/CPU), or being combined with a practical modeling project.

Your Profile:

  • You are highly motivated, with an interest in probability theory, mathematics, and data science.
  • Very good practical C++ and Python programming skills allow you to make your ideas happen.
  • You have strong interest in curiosity-driven multidisciplinary research.

Our Offer:

We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change!

We support you in your work with:

  • An interesting and socially relevant topic for your thesis with future-oriented topics
  • Ideal conditions for gaining practical experience alongside your Master studies
  • An interdisciplinary collaboration on projects in an international, committed and collegial team
  • Excellent technical equipment and the newest technology
  • Qualified supervision and support
  • The chance to independently prepare and work on your tasks
  • Flexible working hours as well as working location

Job description:

Your Job:

The centrepiece of PEM-FCs is the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM), which should provide sufficient ionic conductivity and mechanical stability. However, the state-of-the-art PEMs Nafion and H3PO4/PBI either require sufficient hydration for good ion conductivity or lead to catalyst poisoning. This makes it necessary to look for alternatives with good ion conduction, even in the anhydrous state. Ionic liquids, especially protic phosphonium-based ionic liquids (PPILs), are promising candidates due to their high ionic conductivity at elevated temperatures and under anhydrous conditions. With this background, we need you to electrochemically characterize PPILs under different conditions. Your tasks in detail will be:

  • Determination of electrochemical and physicochemical properties of the ionic liquids with various methods: conductivity via Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), Walden plot for the determination of the proton conduction mechanism, electrochemical stability via Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV), Oxygen Solubility and Oxygen Diffusion Coefficient via Chronoamperometry (CA), thermal stability via Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-IR)
  • Electrode preparation via polishing
  • Close collaboration with internal and external cooperation partners
  • Detailed evaluation and procession of measurement data


Your Profile:

  • Enrolled in a master’s program in chemistry, physics, materials science, or a related discipline
  • Experience in practical lab work
  • Theoretical knowledge of electrochemistry and electrochemical techniques is advantageous
  • Strong analytical skills and a willingness to engage in experimental research
  • A proactive and independent working attitude
  • Good written and oral communication skills in English and/or German


Our Offer:

We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We support you in your work with:

  • Ideal conditions for gaining practical experience alongside your studies
  • An interesting and socially relevant topic for your thesis with future-oriented themes and potential applications in energy storage and electrochemical systems
  • A large research campus with green spaces, offering the best possible means for networking with colleagues and pursuing sports alongside work
  • An interdisciplinary collaboration on projects in an international, committed and collegial team

Promotion


Job description:

Your Job:

The transformation of the European energy system to greenhouse gas neutrality will promote independence from fossil fuels. However, it raises the question of how to deal with emissions that cannot be avoided for technical or economic reasons. In the future, these must be captured and stored, used as raw materials, or offset by negative emissions. It can be assumed that storage and utilization sites will not be located directly at the source of emissions, which will require transport infrastructure. As part of this work, you will model spatially resolved transformation paths for the energy system in Germany and Europe and analyze the role of CO2 infrastructures in the design of energy infrastructures. Based on the findings of a related doctoral thesis, options for CO2 capture and utilization and options for negative emission will be integrated into the model. In doing so, you will explore various questions, such as: Where do remaining emissions occur and how can they be dealt with? What infrastructure is needed? What is a cost-effective design for this infrastructure and what framework conditions need to be created? To answer these questions, you will perform the following tasks:

  • Identifying relevant technologies for mapping CO2 infrastructure in integrated energy system models
  • Enhancing an existing energy system model focusing on CO2 infrastructures
  • Analyzing the impact of CO2 on the energy systems design in Germany and Europe
  • Active participation in scientific and public discourse (including publishing in peer-reviewed scientific journals)


Your Profile:

  • A completed Master`s degree in the field of natural or (industrial) engineering, informatics, or a related field of study
  • Very good knowledge of energy technology, energy economics and energy politics
  • Initial experience in energy system modeling is advantageous
  • Good programming skills (e.g., Python)
  • High degree of independence and willingness to show great commitment
  • Very reliable and conscientious work style
  • Fluent written and spoken English and German

    Job description:

    One major area of research in our department focuses on the immune system, a critical factor in health and disease, and how it changes with age. We explore how the age-related decline in immune function, known as ‘inflammaging’, is associated with neurodegeneration and other non-communicable diseases. Our ultimate aim is to contribute to the prevention of neurodegenerative and support healthy brain aging.

    Our research is primarily based on the Rhineland Study, a prospective cohort study that emphasizes deep phenotyping. To study the role of the immune system in health and disease across the adult livespan, we included FACS analyses, immune stimulation assays and extensive cytokine profiling into our core protocols. We collaborate with partners at Bonn University in the Cluster of Excellence “ImmunoSensation2” and the Collaborative Research Center “Metaflammation”. Additional data include detailed structural and functional brain imaging, cognitive and neurological assessments, cardiovascular and anthropometric assessments, sensory systems tests, and medical history and medication use data. Available multi-omics data, both from baseline and follow-up, include (epi) genomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic, lipidomic, proteomic and microbiome data. The study currently includes over 12,500 individuals, with longitudinal data already available for nearly 5,000 of them. Additional baseline and follow-up data collection is ongoing.

    In this context, the group of Prof. Dr. Breteler is looking for an ambitious and experienced researcher (m/f/x) in full time to join the department of Population Health Sciences at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) in Bonn.

    Your Job:

    Climate change is already reshaping our world and will continue to do so in the coming decades. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is essential to limiting future climate change, with renewable energy systems playing a pivotal role in transitioning away from fossil fuels. Wind turbines, solar photovoltaics and hydropower form the backbone of low-emission (“green”) electricity generation. However, these technologies are inherently dependent on weather conditions, which are likely to be influenced by climate change. The PhD position is aimed at investigating the effects of future climate change on renewable energy production. This work will leverage and expand upon RESkit - an open-source renewable energy simulaton framework developed at our institute (available on Github: github.com/FZJ-IEK3-VSA/RESKit ). This framework currently uses historical weather data to model energy output and will be further developed to allow the simulation of renewable electricity production under future climate scenarios. Your research will contribute to understanding the effects of climate change on renewable power generation and its impacts on energy system design on a global scale. Key responsibilities include:

    • Evaluation and selection of existing meteorological datasets that include climate change projections
    • Integration of current hydropower workflows into the RESkit framework
    • Integration of the projected weather parameters into the RESkit framework and subsequent calibration and validation of the output
    • Global simulation of the electricity output under various climate change scenarios
    • Analysis of global trends and technology-specific impacts on electricity production
    • Integration of projected volatile electricity production into existing energy system models along with an assessment of how climate change affects system design and cost


    Your Profile:

    • Master’s degree in the field of natural sciences, engineering, or a related field of study
    • Huge interest in energy system transition and climate change
    • Knowledge of renewable electricity systems and/or a background in atmospheric sciences is an advantage
    • Experience in atmospheric/climate modeling, renewable electricity generation simulation and/or energy system modeling is beneficial but not mandatory
    • First programming skills, ideally in Python
    • Independent and analytical way of working
    • Reliable and conscientious working style
    • Fluent written and spoken English; German language skills are beneficial but not necessary


    Please feel free to apply for the position even if you do not have all the required skills and knowledge. We may be able to teach you missing skills during your induction.

    Our Offer:

    Job description:

    Your Job:

    Random unitaries are a ubiquitous tool in quantum information and quantum computing, with applications in the characterization of quantum hardware, quantum algorithms, quantum cryptography and complexity theory, and in the chaotic dynamics of quantum many-body systems. Moreover, a breakthrough result in 2024 shows that random unitaries can often be constructed by short-depth quantum circuits, making these techniques particularly promising for early quantum applications. You will investigate techniques for the construction of random unitaries based on random quantum circuits and study their performance for a range of applications. A focus will lie on quantum algorithms for many-body systems, in particular on classical shadows. Here, you will also transfer results for qubits to fermions, which are highly relevant, for instance, in quantum chemistry. Your research will be embedded in international collaborations with renowned experts, offering plenty of opportunities for close cooperation. You will join the teams of Dr. Markus Heinrich at the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the University of Cologne and of Prof. Matteo Rizzi at PGI-8 at the Forschungszentrum Jülich.

    Reference Number 10496

    Urban sustainable development and improved resilience to geohazards require an exhaustive understanding of the shallow subsurface at the sub-kilometre scale. Yet, high-resolution imaging of the urban subsurface is challenging using classical geophysical approaches.

    In the frame of the Helmholtz-funded project InDySE (Interrogating the Dynamic Shallow Earth), this PhD project focuses on combining Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) deployed on existing fibre-optic networks (dark fibres) with interferometric analysis of ambient seismic noise for efficient, high-resolution imaging of the near-surface in densely populated areas. The successful candidate will analyse existing and newly acquired DAS data from urban areas to create velocity models of the subsurface to identify and characterise structures such as faults, obtain information about material properties, and derive parameters useful for improved hazard assessment. Integration of DAS data with conventional seismic sensors and the combination of ambient noise and earthquake signals may also be explored. One of the main study areas will be the city of Istanbul (Turkey). Together with investigations of temporal variations in seismic properties, this work will contribute to improved generation of comprehensive models of the urban shallow subsurface, with implications for geohazard assessment and mitigation.

    Your responsibilities:

    • Development and application of ambient seismic noise interferometry approaches to DAS field data for subsurface imaging
    • Compilation of existing subsurface and auxiliary data and integration/interpretation of the results
    • Contribution to the design, planning and execution of DAS field experiments

    Job description:

    GFZ is Germany's national centre for solid Earth research. We advance the understanding of dynamic processes to address global challenges, from mitigating the impacts of natural hazards and sustaining our habitat amid global change to responsibly managing georesources. We are part of the Helmholtz Association, the largest German scientific organisation. With around 1,200 employees as well as ca. 500 guest researchers, we contribute to the Helmholtz Research Field Earth and Environment, aligning cutting-edge research with societal relevance and international collaboration. Our work integrates multidisciplinary studies across Earth's system components, leveraging advanced technologies and infrastructure to research solutions and to transfer our knowledge to society. We are doing this according to our vision: “Taking the pulse of our Earth to safeguard a habitable planet”.

    For section 2.2 Geophysical Imaging (department “Geophysics”), we are looking for a:

    Reference Number 10492

    Monitoring temporal changes of seismic velocities and other seismic properties can provide valuable information about the behaviour and response of subsurface materials to natural and human forcing, such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, changes in groundwater levels and other hydrological processes, resource extraction, etc. In urban areas, continuous monitoring of these property variations at high resolution is hampered by direct access to the subsurface and the constraints of using conventional geophysical surveys.

    In the framework of the Helmholtz-funded project InDySE (Interrogating the Dynamic Shallow Earth), this PhD focuses on leveraging Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) deployed on existing telecommunication networks (dark fibres) and ambient seismic noise to investigate temporal and spatial variations of seismic velocities in the near-surface of urban areas. The focus will be on detecting changes and establishing a correlation with external factors (e.g. environmental influences, earthquakes, etc.) to identify the fundamental processes and local conditions controlling parameter variations, and their potential relation with geohazards. One of the possible study areas will be the city of Istanbul (Turkey). In combination with high-resolution subsurface imaging and characterisation studies, this work will contribute to the generation of comprehensive models of the urban shallow subsurface for improved geohazard assessment and sustainable urban development.

    Your responsibilities:

    • Analysis of ambient seismic noise data for temporal variations
    • Compilation of auxiliary data (e.g. environmental data) and correlation with observed seismic velocities
    • Interpretation of results concerning potential physical processes and parameters affecting seismic properties
    • Contribute to the design, planning and execution of DAS field experiments
    • Publish results in peer-reviewed journals and present at meetings and international conferences

    Your qualifications:

    • A Master's degree (or equivalent) in Geophysics (preferred), Physics, Computer Science or in a related discipline
    • Background in Seismology;  experience in the field of seismic noise preferred but not required
    • Familiarity and prior experience working with DAS data are advantageous but not required
    • Strong computational and scientific programming skills (Python, Matlab, C, C++, etc)
    • Good communication skills and a good command of written and spoken English
    • Willingness to participate in field experiments

    What we offer:

    • Ambitious and varied tasks in a dynamic and international research environment
    • State-of-the-art equipment
    • Public service benefits
    • Extensive training opportunities
    • Professional career advice offered by our in-house Career-Centre
    • Flexible working hours and conditions
    • Support with finding a good work-life balance offered by benefit@work
    • Institute day-care centre on site
    • Working at the Albert Einstein science park on the Telegrafenberg in Potsdam
    • Work place within walking distance of Potsdam main train station, or just a short ride on the shuttle bus
    Start date: 1st September 2025
    Fixed-term: 3 years
    Salary: The position is classed as salary group 13 according to “TVöD Bund (Tarifgebiet Ost)”. The salary group is determined on the basis of the Collective Wage Agreement and the respective personal qualifications.
    Working hours: Part-time 75% (currently 29.25 h/week)
    Place of work: Potsdam

    Job description:PostDoc in "Geopolitical dilemmas for management: transfer of governance for the Southern Ocean" (m/f/d) (HIPP26 #1)

    Background
    Antarctica is often called the world’s last great wilderness, surrounded by a so-called ‘pristine’ ocean that harbours a highly diverse fauna of invertebrates, fish, birds, and mammals. This Southern Ocean covers nearly 10% of the world’s total ocean space. It is a habitat for over 10,000 known marine species. Politically, it is special in that the majority of the space represents Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ). This means that much of the Southern Ocean is, theoretically, open to all nations and has no national-level governance. The region is currently governed through the international Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), with the Southern Ocean under the remit of the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). Today, Antarctica and its surrounding waters are experiencing an increasing intensity of commercial, scientific, and political developments. The Southern Ocean is no longer a remote region (if it ever was). Scientists, fishers, and tourists travel to Antarctica and its surrounding waters to explore it, and also, in some cases, to exploit it.

    At the same time, the Southern Ocean, which plays a key role in regulating our climate through ocean currents, sea ice, and its ability to absorb heat and CO2 from the atmosphere, is undergoing climate-related changes. It is not beyond the reach of human-induced changes to our planet. In recent decades, environmental changes such as rising atmospheric and oceanic temperatures, reduced sea ice extent, ice shelf thinning, glacier retreat, and increasing ocean acidification have been observed. Record values have been reported, such as in February 2023, when the lowest sea ice extent since satellite observations began in 1979 was recorded at just 2.01 million km. These environmental changes are having profound biological effects, including changes in primary production, community composition, and poleward shifts of species. Species that are endemic to the high southern latitudes and specially adapted to cold conditions are particularly vulnerable, as their habitats with optimal environmental conditions become increasingly scarce. All in all, these ongoing changes highlight the urgent need to rethink the management of this unique region, ensuring that it remains resilient in the face of both human pressures and climate change.

    We invite applications for four positions, under the umbrella topic “The dilemma of the Southern Ocean: Ecosystems, sustainability and competing interests at the edge of the world" covering natural and social science perspectives, that will cohere around the ‘dilemma’ facing the Southern Ocean: how competing interests impact its governance, but also drive the need for greater science to understand its changes.

    Postdocs in the cohort will undertake independent projects in collaboration with a Principal Investigator (PI) and relevant staff, while also meeting as a unit to work together on joint goals related to the overarching research topic. The Southern Ocean focus is well supported by a recent Antarctic Strategy at the Alfred Wegener Institute and its long-term investment in polar science, as well as its engagement in providing the best available science to policymakers in CCAMLR.

    The HIPP (HIFMB Integrative Postdoc Pool) is also designed to allow networking between (marine) institutions. We therefore offer the possibility for candidates to foster external relationships, or in consultation, to bring in additional advisors from institutions outside of HIFMB. HIFMB continues to strive for transformation and to bridge the science-policy interface. Therefore, experience or interest in transfer activities is a plus.

    Project #1: Geopolitical dilemmas for management: transfer of governance for the Southern Ocean

    The Southern Ocean is both remote and connected: an international body of water that sits under the remit of the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) and the countries party to it, who manage its use through best available science. Yet as use intensifies, a number of governance challenges arise for its protection, shaped not only by the changing physical state of the planet, but also by its ever-changing geopolitical shape. Whilst there is ample research on the geopolitics of the Antarctic region, including the Southern Ocean, and ample research on its changing environmental state, this project aims to combine the two in exploring the political challenges, impacts, and possibilities that underscore environmental governance decision-making, to work towards best available social science for understanding the dilemmas for management and how they may be overcome.

    This project works at the interface of the three other projects in the HIPP 2026 cohort, reflecting on the geopolitical challenges of realizing management measures (existing and exploratory), and working to investigate optimal modes of transfer to relevant policy realms (including but not limited to CCAMLR). The project will ask questions, to be defined by the post holder, but which may include:
    • What (geo)political histories shape the dynamics of policy-making, as related to each cohort project?
    • What governance mechanisms currently exist and how functional are they (or the concept of them)?
    • What are the alternatives to dominant modes of managing the Southern Ocean and ensuring sustainable use aside from those currently deployed or planned? What science might be needed for them (over what time frames, with what resources)?
    • How might science be best transferred (via what mechanisms, forums, approaches)?


    You’ll be working in the Southern Ocean Conservation and Governance Group, as well as the Transfer Office of HIFMB, in connection with the Environmental Policy at AWI. The post offers membership to the HIPP cohort and wider HIFMB postgraduate community, and the candidate will liaise between the Working Groups relevant to the position, for example, Marine Governance, Ocean Acoustics, and Ecophysiology of Pelagic Key Species.

    Further details:
    As a Helmholtz Institute, the HIFMB contributes to one of the Helmholtz Research Programs (currently ‘Changing Earth – Sustaining our Future’) as part of a particular topic (6, Marine and Polar Life). The cohort work will directly contribute to the scope and challenges of topic 6 by researching how marine ecosystems will adapt and respond to human impacts (e.g., fishing, tourism), and by assessing options to remedy and mitigate human impacts.

    Within topic 6, this cohort work attends especially to subtopic 6.1, which is central to the HIFMB mission on "Future Ecosystem Functionality," and subtopic 6.4, "Use and Misuse of the Ocean."

    Job description:PostDoc in "Sustaining the keystone: Rethinking Antarctic krill fishery management under climate change" (f/d/m) (HIPP26 #2)

    Background
    Antarctica is often called the world’s last great wilderness, surrounded by a so-called ‘pristine’ ocean that harbours a highly diverse fauna of invertebrates, fish, birds, and mammals. This Southern Ocean covers nearly 10% of the world’s total ocean space. It is a habitat for over 10,000 known marine species. Politically, it is special in that the majority of the space represents Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ). This means that much of the Southern Ocean is, theoretically, open to all nations and has no national-level governance. The region is currently governed through the international Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), with the Southern Ocean under the remit of the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). Today, Antarctica and its surrounding waters are experiencing an increasing intensity of commercial, scientific, and political developments. The Southern Ocean is no longer a remote region (if it ever was). Scientists, fishers, and tourists travel to Antarctica and its surrounding waters to explore it, and also, in some cases, to exploit it.

    At the same time, the Southern Ocean, which plays a key role in regulating our climate through ocean currents, sea ice, and its ability to absorb heat and CO2 from the atmosphere, is undergoing climate-related changes. It is not beyond the reach of human-induced changes to our planet. In recent decades, environmental changes such as rising atmospheric and oceanic temperatures, reduced sea ice extent, ice shelf thinning, glacier retreat, and increasing ocean acidification have been observed. Record values have been reported, such as in February 2023, when the lowest sea ice extent since satellite observations began in 1979 was recorded at just 2.01 million km. These environmental changes are having profound biological effects, including changes in primary production, community composition, and poleward shifts of species. Species that are endemic to the high southern latitudes and specially adapted to cold conditions are particularly vulnerable, as their habitats with optimal environmental conditions become increasingly scarce. All in all, these ongoing changes highlight the urgent need to rethink the management of this unique region, ensuring that it remains resilient in the face of both human pressures and climate change.

    We invite applications for four positions, under the umbrella topic “The dilemma of the Southern Ocean: Ecosystems, sustainability and competing interests at the edge of the world" covering natural and social science perspectives, that will cohere around the ‘dilemma’ facing the Southern Ocean: how competing interests impact its governance, but also drive the need for greater science to understand its changes.

    Postdocs in the cohort will undertake independent projects in collaboration with a Principal Investigator (PI) and relevant staff, while also meeting as a unit to work together on joint goals related to the overarching research topic. The Southern Ocean focus is well supported by a recent Antarctic Strategy at the Alfred Wegener Institute and its long-term investment in polar science, as well as its engagement in providing the best available science to policymakers in CCAMLR.

    The HIPP (HIFMB Integrative Postdoc Pool) is also designed to allow networking between (marine) institutions. We therefore offer the possibility for candidates to foster external relationships, or in consultation, to bring in additional advisors from institutions outside of HIFMB. HIFMB continues to strive for transformation and to bridge the science-policy interface. Therefore, experience or interest in transfer activities is a plus.

    Project #2: Sustaining the keystone: Rethinking Antarctic krill fishery management under climate change
    Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a keystone species in the Southern Ocean ecosystem, essential for the survival of many species’ that depend on it. This ecologically critical species is also the target species of the largest and fastest growing fishery in the Southern Ocean, regulated by CCAMLR. CCAMLR aims to manage this fishery sustainably, relying on ecosystem-based approaches incorporating data on predator population, ecosystem state, and krill biomass and distribution. The krill fishery is concentrated in the southwest Atlantic Sector of the Southern Ocean (CCAMLR Area 48), a krill hotspot that supports many krill-dependent air-breathing predators, including penguins, seals, and baleen whales. Simultaneously, this region is experiencing rapid warming and ecological shifts, including in krill biomass. In Subarea 48.1, at the Antarctic Peninsula, krill fishery catches have risen steadily, with the annual allowable catch limit reached 10 times in the past 13 years, intensifying fishing pressure in neighbouring Subareas, such as 48.2 (South Orkney Islands). A critical development occurred during the October 2024 CCAMLR meeting: the expiration of Conservation Measure (CM) 51-07, which previously mandated that the maximum annual allowable catch of 620.000 t be spatially distributed among Subareas 48.1 to 48.4. With no consensus among member states to renew this measure, the fishery now has unrestricted spatial allocation within area 48, heightening concerns over localised overexploitation.


    Your Tasks
    This project will investigate krill fishing activities before and after the expiration of conservation measure 51-07 in CCAMLR fishing area 48 in conjunction with existing conservation measures, including those implemented by the fishing industry voluntarily. In addition, the project requires addressing and answering key questions regarding krill fishery management, such as:
    • Does the current management concept adequately address the emerging challenges posed by climate change and a fast-growing fishery?
    • How can the management concept be improved, potentially by learning from management concepts of other global fishries?
    • How can an improved management concept be effectively implemented in CCAMLR?


    You’ll be working in the Southern Ocean Conservation and Governance Group. The post offers membership to the HIPP cohort and wider HIFMB postgraduate community and the candidate will become part of the Working Group Ecophysiology of Pelagic Key Species.

    Project #3 Navigating uncertainty: Planning marine protected areas in a changing Southern Ocean
    More than 70 nations have committed to the 30x30 initiative under the Global Ocean Alliance, an ambitious effort to protect 30% of the world’s oceans through designated protected areas by 2030. This goal, recently incorporated into the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity, underscores the urgent need for enhanced ocean conservation. Aligned with these global efforts, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) has a long-standing commitment to conserving Antarctic marine life by establishing a representative system of marine protected areas (MPAs) around Antarctica. To date, CCAMLR has successfully designated two MPAs: one near the South Orkney Islands and another in the Ross Sea. However, consensus on four additional proposed MPAs has remained elusive, primarily due to (geo)political disagreements among member states, particularly concerning the balance between conservation priorities and economic interests. In this challenging context, the scientific community must continue to generate robust data and disseminate reliable results. Science-based decision-making is key to overcoming political obstacles and advancing MPA proposals that will secure the long-term protection of the Southern Ocean in a rapidly changing world.


    Your Tasks
    This project requires addressing and answering key research questions regarding the current status of the Southern Ocean, expected ecosystem changes, and their implications for systematic conservation planning. The following pressing research topics provide examples of what could be explored, though other topics may also be considered:
    • Climate-smart conservation planning: How can MPAs be designed and managed with climate change in mind, ensuring they remain effective refuges and contribute to ecosystem resilience under changing environmental conditions?
    • Ecosystem services: How might climate-induced changes in the Southern Ocean ecosystems affect the provision of ecosystem services, and how can these insights be integrated into systematic conservation planning? 
    • Optimising connectivity in MPA networks: How can systematic conservation planning approaches be used to enhance the structural and functional connectivity of MPAs in the Southern Ocean, ensuring greater ecosystem resilience in the face of climate change?


    You’ll be working in the Southern Ocean Conservation and Governance Group, as well as the Transfer Office of HIFMB, in connection with the Environmental Policy at AWI.

    Project #4: Acoustic possibilities for Southern Ocean management dilemmas
    Antarctic tourism is booming (more than 104,000 tourists visited Antarctica 2022–2023 season, over 40 percent more compared to the 2019–2020 pre-pandemic season, ca 125,000 tourists visited in the 2023/24 season), raising concerns on the impact of tourist landings, in terms of damage, diseases and introduction of alien species, but also in terms of the impact of the increased presence of ships in the region. Moreover, tourist fleet shipping routes, destinations, and vessel movement strategies are laid out to include encounters with Antarctic wildlife, as these often form a crucial part of the Antarctic tourist experience. The International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) is an organization of virtually all the commercial tour operators to the Antarctic. IAATO has established guidelines for tourist landings on the Antarctic mainland and ships encountering marine life in the ocean. But still, IAATO is self-regulatory, and adherence to these guidelines is voluntary. Currently, there are no boundaries to Antarctic tourism. Antarctic waters form crucial habitats for many marine mammal species, some of which undertake long-distance migrations to exploit Antarctic prey patches, synchronizing their arrival with conspecifics to optimize collective foraging strategies. Other species rely on ice-covered Antarctic waters for breeding, thereby timing the rearing of young to the availability of specific sea-ice habitats as a birthing and lactating platform. The success of these strategies critically relies on the timing of behavior to match the narrow summer season window during which the environmental conditions meet the critical seasonal- and species-specific habitat requirements for foraging and breeding. This, along with the vital role that underwater sound plays for these species in coordinating behavior and navigating dark and under-ice habitats, reveals the enormous impact potential of increased human presence in Antarctic waters. Particularly given the crucial temporal overlap in habitat function and usage during the narrow summer season window, with the timing of increased human presence in the area.


    Your Tasks
    This project focuses on mapping spatio-temporal overlaps in the presence of both human and marine mammal activities. By using sighting data and ship positional data, as well as passive acoustic recordings, the project will provide an overview of how hotspots in human and marine mammal presence are distributed in affected areas. Acoustic ship models will furthermore help to understand and gauge the acoustic footprint of ships in various types of Antarctic habitats as well as their cumulative impact on seasonal soundscapes and their cumulative impact on the local underwater noise budgets of human hotspots. In addition, the project seeks to place human presence in the broader context of the drastic effects of climate-induced changes and address questions related to improving management, such as:
    • How can vulnerable areas best be monitored? Can local noise budgets be accounted? What are the potential designs of effective monitoring setups?
    • Can operators and tourists be sensitized to the impact of their presence, and how can knowledge contribute to modes of management and self-management?
    • What measures may improve the sustainability of Antarctic tourism, if at all?

We also host “Helgoland Roads”, which is one of the longest and richest long-term ecological time series.

    Since this position is not bound to a specific project and offers scientific freedom, we request you to submit a 2-pages research proposal as part of your application.


    Your Tasks
    • Develop novel research in the field of zooplankton ecology and climate change
    • Carry out innovative and ground-breaking research in experimental ecology and/or in long-term time series analyses
    • Evaluate complex datasets, and present research results to experts and non-experts (scientific journals, conferences, workshops)

    Promotion


    Job description:

    Your Job:

    The transformation of the European energy system towards greenhouse gas neutrality is fundamentally changing our energy landscape. In the future, wind and solar power plants are expected to provide most of our electricity. Hydrogen and its derivatives are becoming increasingly important - and even during periods of low wind and sun, new, emission-free technologies and strategies are necessary to ensure a stable supply. For the European energy transition to succeed, key infrastructure measures must be implemented in a timely manner. These measures include retrofitting existing power plants and transport networks to other energy sources and expanding new infrastructure. Planners and policymakers face several challenges, including long construction and retrofitting lead times, which can be several years, and requirements for suitable locations, such as availability of cooling water or adequate space. In this thesis, you will systematically evaluate the challenges of the energy transition and derive scenarios and strategies for its successful implementation. Using existing ICE-2 energy system models, you will address questions such as: How do installation and retrofitting times impact the restructuring of energy infrastructures? What conditions regarding locations apply to different technologies, and how will the energy landscape change on the pathway to greenhouse gas neutrality? What regional effects will occur, and how can the overloading of individual regions be counteracted? Your contribution to scientific analysis:

    • Further develop existing energy system models in Python to accurately map and analyze the challenges of implementing the energy transition in terms of infrastructure
    • Identify and systematize challenges for the implementation of the European energy transition
    • Expand existing energy system models to systematically map retrofitting measures as well as planning and construction times as time constraints in the transformation pathway
    • Analyze the space requirements and other location-related prerequisites of central energy infrastructures, including storage facilities, power plants, and transport networks
    • Analyze, based on scenarios, how key implementation challenges will affect the design of future energy infrastructures, focusing on regional impacts and implementation challenges
    • Position your research in the professional community through publications in renowned journals, conference contributions, and active scientific exchange at the national and international level


    Your Profile:

    • You have successfully completed a master’s degree in natural or (industrial) engineering, computer science, or a related field
    • You have very good knowledge of energy technology, energy economics, and energy policy
    • You have already gained initial experience in energy system modeling
    • You are confident in object-oriented programming, preferably in Python
    • You work independently, strategically, and solution-oriented, and demonstrate a high degree of independence and willingness to show great commitment
    • High degree of independence and willingness to show great commitment
    • Fluent written and spoken English; German skills are an advantage


    Our Offer:

    We work on highly topical, socially-relevant issues and offer you the opportunity to actively shape change! We offer you optimal conditions for the successful completion of your doctorate:

    • The opportunity to complete a doctoral thesis within 3 years through professional supervision and internal support services
    • A highly motivated working group as well as an international and interdisciplinary working environment in one of the largest research institutions in Europe
    • Active further development of a comprehensive energy system model in order to support energy policy decision-makers in a scientifically sound manner
    • Excellent scientific and technical infrastructure
    • Opportunity to participate in (international) conferences and project meetings
    • Best conditions for successful work in a home office (moving to the Aachen-Düsseldorf-Cologne region is not absolutely necessary)
    • 30 days of annual leave and provision for days off between public holidays and weekends (e.g. between Christmas and New Year)
    • Further development of your personal strengths, e.g. through an extensive range of training courses; a structured program of continuing education and networking opportunities specifically for doctoral researchers via JuDocS, the Jülich Center for Doctoral Researchers and Supervisors: www.fz-juelich.de/en/judocs

    Your Job:

    Current political developments clearly show how crucial a robust and affordable energy supply is for society and the economy. The transition to a greenhouse gas-neutral, renewable energy system can reduce dependence on fossil fuels – but at the same time brings new challenges and uncertainties. Disruptive events and changing political, social, and technological conditions can have a significant impact on security of supply in the existing and future sector-coupled European energy system. As part of your work, you will identify and systematize potential disruptive events from the perspective of energy infrastructure. Using the existing energy system models of ICE-2, you will develop scenarios to analyze the effects on the German energy system and its robust design in a European context. You will examine, for example, how security of supply can be realistically mapped in a sector-coupled energy system, which political decisions, crises, or technological developments need to be taken into account as disruptive events, and which strategies can be derived from this for a resilient system design. Your contribution to scientific analysis:

    • Further develop existing energy system models in Python and analyze cross-sector infrastructures with regard to supply security and resilience
    • Identify and categorize potential disruptive events and crisis scenarios that could affect the future of the European energy system — ranging from technological innovations to political turning points
    • Expand and couple models at the national and European level to map interactions between electricity, gas, hydrogen, and heat within a robust energy system
    • Develop methodological approaches and assumptions for a realistic representation of uncertainties and disruptions in energy system models
    • Evaluate scenarios and derive concrete strategies for the robust design of future energy infrastructure in the context of disruptive events
    • Position your research in the professional community through publications in renowned journals, conference contributions, and active scientific exchange at the national and international level


    Your Profile:

    • You have successfully completed a master’s degree in natural or (industrial) engineering, computer science, or a related field
    • You have very good knowledge of energy technology, energy economics, and energy policy
    • You have already gained initial experience in energy system modeling
    • You are confident in object-oriented programming, preferably in Python
    • You work independently, strategically, and solution-oriented, and demonstrate a high degree of independence and willingness to show great commitment
    • High degree of independence and willingness to show great commitment
    • Fluent written and spoken English; German skills are an advantage


    Our Offer:

    We work on highly topical, socially-relevant issues and offer you the opportunity to actively shape change! We offer you optimal conditions for the successful completion of your doctorate:

    • The opportunity to complete a doctoral thesis within 3 years through professional supervision and internal support services
    • A highly motivated working group as well as an international and interdisciplinary working environment in one of the largest research institutions in Europe
    • Active further development of a comprehensive energy system model in order to support energy policy decision-makers in a scientifically sound manner
    • Excellent scientific and technical infrastructure
    • Opportunity to participate in (international) conferences and project meetings
    • Continuous professional support by your scientific supervisor(s)
    • Best conditions for successful work in a home office (moving to the Aachen-Düsseldorf-Cologne region is not absolutely necessary)
    • 30 days of annual leave and provision for days off between public holidays and weekends (e.g. between Christmas and New Year)

    15189949 2017/AWI Alfred Wegener Institute - Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) http://www.awi.de/en Researcher / Postdoc for molecular investigations on microbial ecology in deep-sea polymetallic nodule fields (m/f/d) Area of research:

    Laborkräfte


    Job description:Researcher / Postdoc for molecular investigations on microbial ecology in deep-sea polymetallic nodule fields (m/f/d)

    Background
    While some companies are already working towards an early start of deep-sea mining, there is still an urgent need for research on the associated environmental impacts. In the JPI-Oceans project MiningImpact, the Deep-Sea Ecology and Technology group is carrying out work on the impact of manganese nodule mining on deep-sea benthic communities and their functions. The Research focuses on industrial tests of the manganese nodule collector prototype Patania II in the Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCZ) in the subtropical Eastern Pacific in 2021. Undisturbed conditions including their spatiotemporal variability (‘baselines’) are compared to ‘post-impact’ investigations, covering a period from days to years after simulated manganese nodule mining.

    The focus of the position advertised here in the third phase of the project will be on bacterial and archaeal communities at the bottom of the CCZ. A unique dataset with DNA/RNA sequences (including metabarcodes, metagenomes and metatranscriptomes from sediment, bottom seawater and polymetallic nodules) in combination with data on metabolic rates, and sediment biogeochemistry will form the basis of the work. Further sampling and measurements will take place in the CCZ as part of the project to investigate effects of the collector test on longer time scales. In addition to scientific publications, results will also contribute to project efforts to provide input to knowledge-based regulation of potential future deep-sea mining activities.


    Your Tasks
    The primary focus will be on benthic microbial communities in manganese nodule ecosystems of the CCZ, combining analyses of taxonomic and functional diversity and integrating them with knowledge on environmental characteristics. In addition to benthic communities, microorganisms in bottom waters, on manganese nodules, and artificial nodules from colonization experiments will be investigated to fully assess environmental impacts and evaluate potential renaturation measures.The work will involve joint analyses within AWI and the larger network of project partners (e.g., on various environmental factors and communities of other size classes). Key tasks will involve:
    • Perform bioinformatic analysis of microbial molecular data (metabarcoding, metagenomes, metatranscriptome) and evaluate the results regarding the taxonomic and functional diversity (e.g., community composition and structure, encoded and expressed metabolic pathways) of microbial communities
    • Evaluate information collected from molecular data and explore in combination with existing knowledge on environmental conditions using ecological statistics
    • Characterize environmental consequences of nodule mining and explore potential impact indicators (e.g., specific microbial taxa and functions) for ecosystem deterioration and – possibly – subsequent recovery
    • Publish and present results in peer-reviewed journals and at scientific conferences
    • Contribute to integrated, multidisciplinary analyses in the project consortium and to joint publications and reports
    • Join Expedition(s) and perform microbial sampling, laboratory incubations, extractions, and analyses on board and in the shore lab
    • Contribute to general project tasks (e.g., annual meetings, participation and organization of workshops, reporting, data management)


    Your Profile
    • PhD in marine microbial ecology with a focus on molecular ecology or ecological genomics or closely related topics - ideally with a deep-ocean focus
    • Professional experience as a Postdoc (at least 2 years) and proven experience in scientific publishing
    • Comprehensive knowledge in bioinformatic analysis of taxonomic and functional biodiversity and encoded/expressed metabolic pathways of marine microbial communities (based on metabarcoding, metagenomes, metatranscriptomes)
    • Expertise in bioinformatic tools and pipelines for data pre-processing, Amplicon Sequence Variant (ASV) table generation, gene/genome reconstruction, prediction of phylogenetic domains of DNA sequences and genes, molecular feature classification, and protein clustering based on structure and function. Skills in R, Python, Unix/Linux command-line tools, and workflow automation
    • Profound understanding of the relevant metrics and methods to analyze microbial communities and functions and their spatio-temporal patterns in the environmental context (e.g., alpha/beta diversity, differential abundance and gene expression, phylogenetics, comparative/pangenomics, and metabolic pathway reconstruction). In-depth knowledge of public molecular databases for both taxonomic and functional annotation
    • Profound knowledge regarding molecular lab work including DNA/RNA extraction, PCR and library preparation for NGS
    • Ability to work independently and in collaboration with project partners. Management of research activities including sharing and joint analysis of results
    • Willingness to participate in expeditions and international travel to project meetings and conferences
    • Strong communication and teamwork skills
    • Excellent command of the English language, both written and spoken (approximately equivalent to CEFR level C1)


    Preferred Qualifications and Skills
    • Knowledge of microbial metabolic processes and methods to study them (e.g., tracer-based incubations) and general marine/benthic biogeochemistry
    • Interest and intention to acquire and apply machine learning/AI methods for ecological analyses
    • Expedition experience

    Job description:The Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association aims to transform tomorrow’s medicine through our discoveries of today. At locations in Berlin-Buch, Berlin-Mitte, Heidelberg and Mannheim, our researchers harness interdisciplinary collaboration to decipher the complexities of disease at the systems level – from molecules and cells to organs and the entire organism. Through academic, clinical, and industry partnerships, as well as global networks, we strive to translate biological discoveries into applications that enable the early detection of deviations from health, personalize treatment, and ultimately prevent disease. First founded in 1992, the Max Delbrück Center today inspires and nurtures a diverse talent pool of 1,800 people from over 70 countries. We are 90 percent funded by the German federal government and 10 percent by the state of Berlin.


    The Chromatin (Dys)function group offers an exciting opportunity to explore an essential question:- how does chromatin move and behave to control genes? To do so, you will lead an exciting HFSP-funded collaboration to apply single molecule imaging and genomics to map chromatin dynamics and its consequences.

    Job Description:
    Chromatin is not immobile. It is a highly dynamic material whose 3D structure controls essential genomic functions from transcription to DNA repair. But how does chromatin behave as a material —as a liquid, solid or viscoelastic gel— to perform these functions in living cells? Without answering this, we cannot truly understand how chromatin is disrupted in disease.

    The successful candidate will now address this by studying a unique model of extreme chromatin dynamics– the mammalian retina as part of a HFSP-funding consortium. They will map these dynamics by combining
    single cell genomics with single molecule imaging in close collaboration with the Anders lab (MIT). They will further cooperate with the Michieletto lab (Edinburgh University) to integrate these data with computational models.

    Requirements:
    We are looking for a creative and enthusiastic Postdoc (m/f/d) with in-depth experience in chromatin biology, gene regulation, and genomics/microscopy. Mice will also be a key model and so experience designing and performing animal experiments is advantageous.

    The postdoc will be expected to take a senior leadership role in directing and designing projects, supporting fellow lab mates and working in a team. The project will also be a interdisciplinary international collaboration and so the candidate must have excellent communication skills and be fluent in oral and written English.

    Benefits:
    • international working environment with communication in English and German
    • interesting career opportunities and a range of opportunities for further qualification and training
    • Compatibility of family and career certified by the workandfamily audit (“berufundfamilie audit”)
    • Support for "New Berliners" through the MDC Welcome & Family Office

    You also benefit from:
    • a remuneration in accordance with the collective agreement for the federal public service (TVöD-Bund), including additional company pension schemes
    • a secure job
    • flexible working hours and childcare support
    • the possibility of mobile working
    • an idyllic green campus, which is easily accessible by bicycle, public transport or car
    • free use of Nextbike from the Buch S-Bahn station to the campus
    • Subsidy for the job ticket as well as discounts in the campus canteen
    • On-campus health and fitness center

    Job description:

    We are seeking an outstanding and highly qualified individual with strong potential to represent the field of subject-specific science education (Fachdidaktik) in both research and teaching across the full breadth of the Physics Education program at the KIT Department of Physics. The professorship will focus on physics education that is rooted in the discipline itself, and we are looking for a candidate with a corresponding background. A close connection between physics as a scientific discipline and its didactics is essential in order to align teacher training with current developments in physics and effectively transfer these into school-level instruction. The research focus of the position should therefore be on developing concepts, methods, and especially experiments for upper secondary education and university-level teaching, covering modern and scientifically rigorous topics in physics. This may include the development of novel teaching materials, experiments, digital media, and more.

    In German-language teaching, the professorship will be responsible for delivering the full range of required physics education courses offered by the Department of Physics, as well as for advancing their content and format. This includes a teaching load of 4 semester hours per week (SWS), increasing to 6 SWS following a positive evaluation.

    This junior-professorship is funded by the Helmut Fischer Foundation and is embedded within the KIT Department of Physics. The successful candidate will be responsible for the discipline-specific didactics training of students in the physics teacher education programs for secondary schools. In addition, involvement in the discipline-specific education of these students and participation in continuing education for secondary school physics teachers is expected.

    Collaboration with didactics professors in other disciplines at KIT, as well as with teacher training institutions in the region, is encouraged.
