PGI-11 - JARA-Institut Quanten Information


Area of research:

Scientific / postdoctoral posts


Job description:

Your Job:

Building on in-house fabricated devices, we have recently demonstrated the ability to shuttle electrons between gate defined quantum dots in Si/SiGe over micron-scale distances using only four different AC-voltages, independent of the distance covered arxiv.org/abs/2108.00879 . Theoretical consideration indicate good prospects for maintaining spin-coherence of the shuttled electron, which would make this approach very promising for scaling up semiconductor spin qubit devices. This position focuses on experimentally demonstrating coherent spin shuttling, shuttling-compatible high-fidelity qubit control and further ingredients for a shuttling-based architecture, using devices from academic or industrial fabrication.
Key activities can include:

  • Demonstration and experimental characterization of spin coherence during shuttling
  • Shuttling-compatible demonstration of high-fidelity qubit control
  • Demonstration of T-Junctions (Fig. 1(b)) as step towards qubit grids
  • Advancement of a shuttling based architecture with 2D-connectivity
  • Migration to industrially fabricated devices

Your Profile:

  • Master and PhD in physics or a related field
  • In-depth experience with quantum control experiments on quantum dot qubits
  • Good software development skills
  • Experience with sub-Kelvin cryogenic techniques
  • Strong aptitude for mentoring students

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

Scientific / postdoctoral posts


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.

    EU MSCA doctoral (PhD) position in Materials Engineering with focus on computational optimization of additively manufactured Mg alloys for biodegradable implant applications.

    Host: Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, Geesthacht, Germany, with PhD degree awarded by Kiel University (CAU), Germany. Read more about Hereon (https://www.hereon.de/index.php.en) and Institute of Surface Science (https://www.hereon.de/institutes/surface_science/index.php.en)

    Collaborators: Uppsala Universitet, Sweden and Quintus Technologies AB, Västerås, Sweden

    This PhD position is part of the EU-funded project Print4Life, a Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA) doctoral network led by Prof. Cecilia Persson, Uppsala University. Print4Life ? Advanced Research Training for Additive Manufacturing of the Biomaterials and Tissues of the Future. cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101226431. This network has 8 host institutions hiring doctoral candidates: Uppsala University, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, Dublin City University, Universidade do Minho, Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, Hydrumedical SA, Brinter AM Technologies Oy, ETH Zürich; and 6 additional partners: FHNW, PBC Ltd, XapHe, Quintus Technologies AB, CAU (Kiel) and Region Uppsala (Uppsala University Hospital). The network aims to provide Advanced Research Training for Additive Manufacturing of the Biomaterials and Tissues of the Future. You will be one of 17 doctoral students across the entire network, and one of 3 doctoral candidates based at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon.

    Your tasks
    You focus on developing your PhD project In silico optimization of PBF-LB manufactured Mg alloys. There is a plethora of studies on the processing, mechanical and corrosion properties of Mg-based alloys, mostly limited to the alloys produced via traditional casting, extrusion and forging. Reports on rationalisation of processing-structure-property relationships (PSPR) additively manufactured (PBF-LB) Mg alloys are still scarce. In the meantime, the variation of processing parameters (laser power, spot size, hatch distance, scanning speed, layer thickness, scan strategy and subsequent heat-treatment) has a significant effect on the microstructure (grain size, alloying elements distribution, crystallographic texture), mechanical properties (hardness, yield and tensile strength) and corrosion profile (rate and localization). This work focuses on machine learning assisted PSPR optimization of recently developed lean Mg-0.1Ca alloy produced by PBF-LB. After identification of the most relevant parameters adopting a design of experiments strategy, a probabilistic (e.g. Gaussian Process Regression) model to describe the relationship between process parameters and material properties will be developed and subsequently exposed to Bayesian optimization to find the optimal set of parameters that improve process performance and material quality. Secondly, different machine learning strategies based on traditional supervised learning techniques (e.g. random forest (RF), artificial neural network (ANN)) will be applied using the parameters of strongest influence on the target properties. Moreover, the obtained data will be fed into a generative pre-trained transformer model (e.g. ChatGPT) to probe the potential of in-context learning for process optimization. The robustness of the model is assessed by experimental validation. The objectives are i) to produce Mg-0.1Ca alloy at varying PBF-LB fabrication process parameters (at Uppsala University), collect experimental data on microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties; ii) determine, using sensitivity analysis, impact of the individual process parameters on the target properties and develop predictive machine learning model; iii) based on the machine learning algorithms, develop PBF-LB Mg alloy with defined microstructure, improved mechanical and corrosion properties.

You will be one of 17 doctoral students across the entire network, and one of 3 doctoral candidates based at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon.

    Your tasks
    You focus on developing your PhD project Unravelling the high reactivity of PBF-LB manufactured Mg and Zn alloys. Additively manufactured (e.g. by PBF-LB) Mg alloys are often reported to possess higher degradation rates compared to extruded or cast counterparts. Similar effect albeit of lesser extent has been reported for Zn. This is against common expectation that the finer microstructures formed by PBF-LB result in slower degradation. Several explanations proposed so far do not clarify all observed nuances. This project focuses on unravelling the origin of the elevated corrosion rates of AM-built Mg- and Zn-alloys. The work will revolve around micro- and nanoscopic visualization of initial micro-galvanic activity upon metal contact with an aqueous electrolyte. For this, in situ SEM and in situ TEM will be used at HEREON. This will be accompanied by EBSD for ex situ microstructure characterization, X-ray micro- and nano-tomography at DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron / German Electron Synchrotron) and Scanning Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (SKPFM) for visualising the distribution of cathodic phases in bulk and on plane, along with integral and localized electrochemical measurements for degradation performance. A range of Mg and Zn-alloys will be produced at Uppsala University in cooperation with doctoral candidates there, to reveal process-performance correlations and suggest the strategies for reducing corresponding degradation rates. The best performing alloys will be tested in vitro at Hydrumedical using in house developed flow-through system. The objectives of this work are: i) to unveil the driving force of the micro-galvanic corrosion onset; ii) propose several approaches to reduce the micro-galvanic corrosion; iii) experimentally validate most practical approaches.

    Your tasks
    You focus on developing your PhD project Mechano-corrosive properties of PBF-LB manufactured biodegradable Mg and Zn alloys. A combination of dynamic mechanical loading and corrosive environment is imposed on a metallic device upon implantation. While the influence of both factors is typically studied and tested separately, their inevitable combination at implantation site may lead to unexpected and premature implant failure due to stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue and tribo-corrosion. Understanding cooperative effects of mechanically assisted corrosion of the Mg and Zn alloys (additively manufactured at Uppsala University) will be the focus of this PhD project. The objectives of this work are to optimize an experimental setup for simultaneous tension/compression testing and localized corrosion measurements, including monitoring of local pH and dissolved hydrogen and oxygen concentrations at metal-electrolyte interface; gain understanding of the factors influencing the initiation and propagation of localized corrosion and associated mechanically assisted corrosion.
    Research stays are planned at: Uppsala Universitet, Sweden, and Quintus Technologies AB, Västerås, Sweden

          Job description:Bachelor or Master Thesis: Oxidative Stress Response under Thermal Stress during Embryonic Development of Polar Cod (Boreogadus saida)

          Background
          The arctic keystone species Boreogadus saida (Polar cod) is highly adapted to cold environments and plays a central role in Arctic marine food webs. The early developmental stages of polar cod have particularly low heat tolerance, and their high sensitivity makes them extremely vulnerable to climate-induced ocean warming. Embryos typically develop optimally near 0 °C, with hatch success and morphological integrity declining steeply above 3–4 °C. Understanding physiological responses to such temperature stress is key to predicting future viability of high-latitude fish populations.

          Project description
          This project offers the opportunity to explore cellular and enzymatic responses to oxidative stress during embryonic development under control (0 °C) and warming (4 °C) conditions. The student will analyze existing high-resolution samples across developmental stages to quantify the activity of core antioxidant enzymes: Catalase (CAT), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), and Glutathione-related enzymes (GTx).
          These enzymatic markers provide insight into the biochemical defense mechanisms countering reactive oxygen species (ROS) during temperature-induced stress, complementing other available datasets on oxidative capacity and damage. The resulting data will contribute to a deeper mechanistic understanding of redox regulation during polar fish embryogenesis.


          Your Tasks
          • Execution of spectrophotometric enzymatic assays (CAT, SOD, GTx)
          • Protein quantification and activity normalization
          • Comparative evaluation between temperature treatments and developmental stages
          • Optional integration with existing oxidative stress and morphometric datasets


          Your Profile
          • enrolled at an University 
          • Interest in experimental and analytical physiology
          • Careful lab work and documentation skills

          Job description:

          The Research Institute for Sustainability at GFZ (RIFS) conducts research with the aim of investigating, identifying, and advancing development pathways for transformation processes towards sustainability in Germany and abroad. The institute was founded in 2009 as the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) and has been affiliated with the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences under its new name since the 1st of January 2023 and is thus part of the Helmholtz Association.

          For our research group Systemic Risks, we are looking for a:

          Reference Number 10871

          We are recruiting a PhD candidate to examine the societal implications of Enhanced Silicate Weathering (ESW) as a carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategy. The position is embedded in the RESET project ("Developing Roadmaps to Scalable Carbon Dioxide Removal by Enhanced Silicate Weathering"), which is part of the BMFTR-funded consortium CDRTerra. RESET brings together three closely linked PhD positions to explore ESW from natural science and social science perspectives.

          Enhanced Silicate Weathering (ESW) involves applying finely ground reactive (ultra)mafic minerals to agricultural soils to permanently remove atmospheric CO₂. ESW is considered a promising large-scale CDR option due to its long-term storage potential and comparatively low cost. RESET investigates both the opportunities and challenges of deploying ESW at scale and aims to co-develop potential implementation pathways together with stakeholders.

          We are looking for a motivated PhD student to research the societal implications of ESW. The successful candidate will map systemic interdependencies in terms of potential trade-offs and synergies in the implementation of ESW, as well as implement stakeholder participation processes and co-creation processes for scaling strategies of ESW.

          PHD Thesis


          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 2.4 Seismology (department 2: Geophysics), we are looking for two:

          Reference Number 10900

          The Priority Program DEFORM of the German Research Foundation is funding multi-disciplinary research into the Adriatic Plate and its plate boundaries. The project represents the German contribution to the international AdriaArray initiative, a seismic array encompassing ~1500 seismic stations with 64 contributing institutions. Within this project, we are also operating a high-density seismic array (“Large-N array”) in western Greece and southern Albania encompassing nearly 800 sites, straddling the boundary between continental and oceanic subduction. This region carries the signature of a vibrant geodynamic history and shows different deformation styles in close vicinity.

          The section for seismology at GFZ offers two PhD projects within this programme: 

          Project 1: Seismological imaging of attenuation and scattering in the circum-Adriatic region

          We investigate the attenuation and scattering properties of the crust in the wider Adriatic region.  You will employ scattering theory to separate the effects of wave scattering and anelastic attenuation on seismic wave propagation. You will use state-of-the-art inversion techniques to image the spatial distribution of subsurface heterogeneity to illuminate the imprint of past and present deformation.

          Project 2: Generation and analysis of a high-quality seismic catalogue in Greece and Albania with Deep Learning

          We leverage the data from the Large-N seismic array as well as an offshore fibre-optic cable, which is being interrogated with Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), to derive a catalogue of the seismicity in the area at unprecedented resolution. Leveraging and improving state-of-the-art machine learning techniques, template matching and other techniques, you will derive a high precision catalogue of seismic activity down to very small magnitudes and analyse statistical patterns in order to understand how large-scale deformation is resolved onto faults in a region of diffuse deformation.

          Your responsibilities:

          Both projects:

          • Study of relevant scientific literature
          • Analysis of seismological data from earthquakes and/or ambient seismic noise

          • Publish in peer-reviewed scientific journals
          • Participate in seismological fieldwork (optional)

          Project 1:

          • Adapt and implement numerical simulation codes for seismic energy propagation in heterogeneous media using radiative transfer theory
          • Generate regional models of attenuation and heterogeneity using advanced seismic imaging
          • Interact with project partners to integrate observations into the known deformation history

          Project 2: 

          • Adapt and apply machine learning techniques for the detection and location of earthquakes of different sizes in Greece
          • Interact with geologists and geodesists to understand the deformation budget and how it interacts with structural controls
          • Improve the methodological approaches to the requirements of the data set

          Your qualifications:

          • (at start of employment): MSc in geophysics, physics or computer science/mathematics or related disciplines
          • Experience in the analysis of seismological data
          • Programming in Python
          • Project 2: (preferred) Knowledge of machine learning, or experience in processing large datasets or experience with the analysis of local seismicity

          PhD Student (f/m/d) Development and Evaluation of PET Image Reconstruction Methods for Simultaneous Clinical Dual-Tracer PET Imaging

          With cutting-edge research in the fields of ENERGY, HEALTH and MATTER, around 1,500 employees from more than 70 nations at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) are committed to mastering the great challenges facing society today.

          At the Institute of Radiopharmaceutical Cancer Research scientists (f/m/d) from the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacy, immunology, medicine and IT develop innovative radiopharmaceuticals and novel tools for functional characterization, improved imaging and personalized treatment of tumors.

          The Department of Positron Emission Tomography is looking for a PhD Student (f/m/d) to work on the Development and Evaluation of PET Image Reconstruction Methods for Simultaneous Clinical Dual-Tracer PET Imaging

          Positron emission tomography (PET) is a cornerstone of today’s cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, and response assessment. By administering specific radiotracers, PET enables the visualization and quantification of distinct physiological processes in the body. However, clinical PET imaging has so far been largely limited to imaging the distribution of a single radiotracer per scan. In collaboration with the Forschungszentrum Jülich, the PET department at HZDR has launched a joint research project to evaluate the potential of dual-tracer PET imaging. This innovative approach enables separation of two simultaneously acquired radiotracers, providing two distinct images from a single PET acquisition. Within this project, we will jointly develop, adapt and implement advanced image reconstruction algorithms in our in-house reconstruction software to evaluate the feasibility of dual-tracer imaging on clinical PET scanners – with the ultimate goal of translating this novel method towards clinical application.

          Recruitment is subject to final approval by the project sponsor.

          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”.

          Reference Number 10887

          Recent advances in quantum technology have made operational quantum gravimeters possible, surpassing conventional devices in precision and versatility. In this context, the EU-funded EQUIP-G project will deploy a network of Absolute Quantum Gravimeters (AQG) across Europe, forming the first terrestrial segment of a pan-European quantum gravimetry infrastructure. This network will support key priorities like the Green Deal, energy management, and risk mitigation. It aims to democratise access to advanced quantum gravity instruments and build a strong European gravimetry community through rigorous testing and FAIR data management.

          In this context, GFZ takes part in one of the selected test-case, the Theistareykir geothermal reservoir (North Iceland). GFZ has been monitoring subsurface mass transfers with a multiparameter network including two superconducting gravity (SG) meters.

          PhD Student (f/m/d) for experimental research on the impact of microbial activity on the immobilisation of plutonium in the nearfield of a nuclear waste disposal

          With cutting-edge research in the fields of ENERGY, HEALTH and MATTER, around 1,500 employees from more than 70 nations at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) are committed to mastering the great challenges facing society today.

          The Institute of Resource Ecology conducts applied basic research to protect humans and the environment from the effects of pollutants resulting from technical processes of energy and raw material extraction. An important goal is a better understanding of fundamental processes that influence the transport and the accumulation of radiotoxic elements in the geo- and biosphere including the food chain. This also includes research on microbial activity in potential repositories for highly radioactive waste.

          The departments Radiation Research on Biological Systems and Surface Processes are looking for a PhD Student (f/m/d) for experimental research on the impact of microbial activity on the immobilisation of plutonium in the nearfield of a nuclear waste disposalsubject to pending project approval. 

          The long-term safety of a deep geological repository of high-level radioactive waste requires a detailed understanding of the interactions of radionuclides and geotechnical barriers. Carbonate minerals such as siderite (FeCO3) play a central role in clay formations and as secondary phases on corroded waste containers. Iron-reducing bacteria can also form this mineral. Plutonium, one of the most relevant transuranium elements, has a complex redox chemistry. Especially the interaction of Pu(III) and Pu(IV) with carbonate minerals and the influence of microbial activity on retention processes are still poorly understood.

          The PhD thesis is part of the joint project TRANSFER, which is jointly funded by the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) and the Federal Company for Radioactive Waste Disposal (BGE). The consortium brings together five Helmholtz Centres and five universities, and is coordinated by the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences. This joint research project is organized as an interdisciplinary graduate school, combining individual supervision with intensive collaboration across institutions. The structured qualification program comprises seminars, summer and winter schools, conference participation, and research stays at partner institutions.

          Your tasks

          # Cultivation of anaerobic bacteria and production of biogenic minerals
          # Investigation of the sorption of Pu(III)/Pu(IV) on biogenic minerals
          # Studying ternary systems consisting of the three components Pu(III/IV), bacteria and biogenic minerals
          # Characterisation of the molecular environment of plutonium in solution and on solid phases using spectroscopic (e.g. UV-vis, Raman, X-ray absorption spectroscopy) and microscopic (e.g. electron microscopy) techniques
          # Conducting literature review, writing scientific publications, and presenting research results
          # Mentoring student courses

          Your profile

          # Very good university degree (Master) in Natural Sciences, preferably in the fields of Chemistry, Biology, Earth Sciences or related field

          Job description:

          DESY

          The PhD position, based at DESY (Hamburg, Germany), will be funded by the ERC Starting Grant SoftMeter and will focus on the establishment of soft-field laser spectroscopy of molecules. The “soft-field” scheme combines ultrashort ultraviolet pulses and few-cycle infrared pulses to replace the conventional strong-field photo-interactions. By using such a two-color scheme, we aim to trigger a new regime of high-harmonic generation and laser-induced electron diffraction. In particular, we aim to translate the seminal concepts of strong-field physics towards the weak-field regime for the first time. This achievement would open up the possibility of performing ultrafast imaging of complex systems such as large molecules or interfaces with unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution.The PhD project will be pursued within the group led by Andrea Trabattoni and it will be embedded in the FS-ATTO group, which is one of the worldwide leading groups for the investigation of ultrafast photo-induced electron dynamics in matter. The activity will focus on the development of cutting-edge pump-probe laser schemes for the investigation of new regimes of ultrafast processes in molecules. A deep understanding of such phenomena is likely to have a significant impact across a wide range of disciplines. For example, in the future, our research may improve the energy-harvesting mechanism in molecular solar cells, with immense benefits for energy and environmental science.

          About your role:

          • Development of cutting-edge ultrafast pump-probe setups
          • Advanced laser spectroscopy of photo-induced electron dynamics in atoms and molecules
          • Development of innovative data analysis protocols and collaboration with theory research groups
          • Presentation of obtained results in international conferences
          • Be part in an international team of scientists who develop next-generation light sources for cutting-edge time-resolved spectroscopy of electron dynamics in matter
          • Collaborative research activity with worldwide experts at DESY and at international partner institutions

          About you:

          • Master’s degree in physics or related fields
          • Good knowledge or strong interest in laser science, atomic and molecular physics

          Your Job:

          The PhD project offered will be part of the Cluster of Excellence: PhenoRob - Robotics and Phenotyping for Sustainable Crop Production. PhenoRob performs world-leading research in robotics and phenotyping for sustainable crop production with the vision to transform crop production by optimizing breeding and farming management through developing and deploying new technologies. Within Phenorob, we develop novel agrogeophysical methods to obtain noninvasive subsoil information that can be used to advance root phenotyping and soil functions. Soil-root interactions will be analyzed across management scenarios using geophysics and numerical modeling. High-resolution subsoil characterization using electromagnetic induction (EMI), and ground penetrating radar (GPR) will be combined with soil sensors systems and UAVs at different scales. In particular, we will combine borehole and surface GPR as well as small-scale EMI measurements with root and shoot observations in controlled experiments (rhizotron facility) and field trials. In addition to field applications, novel inversion algorithms for ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic (EM) will be developed. These algorithms will enable high-resolution, quantitative time-lapse soil property measurements using high-performance, parallel computing. Together with our existing rich dataset, we will inform a soil-plant digital twin, enabling ML-based analysis of geophysical and rover approaches for field-scale root and soil characterization.

          You will be part of a dynamic research team applying advanced geophysical methods to study soil–plant interactions. Your main responsibilities will include:

          • Developing and applying high-resolution time-lapse GPR and EMI imaging methods at multiple scales to enhance our understanding of the soil–root system
          • Designing and implementing novel inversion algorithms for GPR and EMI data
          • Identifying links between non-invasive agrogeophysical parameters and the soil–plant continuum
          • Improving small-scale process understanding of soil–plant interactions and transferring this knowledge to larger scales for applications in agricultural management
          • The project offers the unique opportunity to connect novel processing and inversion techniques to experimental data from different regions and link the findings to relevant processes of the soil-plant system.

          PHD Thesis


          Job description:

          Your Job:

          This research primarily seeks to incorporate advanced neuron models, such as those capturing dendritic computation and probabilistic Bayesian network behavior, into unconventional computing architectures, replacing conventional structureless and deterministic LIF point-neuron models. This is pursued through circuit designs that exploit and control memristor dynamics (e.g., local activity and stochasticity). For example, localized dendritic activation underlies numerous computational functions across hierarchical levels, such as denoising (filtering), increased expressivity (tunable local activation), multi-timescale adaptation (local memory), and stimulus-specific adaptation (multi-task processing). While the co-optimization of dendrite-inspired functional circuits with emerging memory devices has only recently been explored, this doctoral project aims to advance that frontier.

          Initially, the research will explore CMOS–memristor hybrid implementations, leveraging their analog tunability and high-order dynamics to realize dendrite-inspired functional circuits. These circuits will subsequently be integrated as core computational modules within unconventional computing architectures, enabling algorithm–circuit co-optimization across the computing pipeline with respect to key metrics such as power consumption, computational delay, and area efficiency. Beyond circuit prototyping, the project will conduct task-level benchmarking to evaluate overall system performance in relation to both dendrite–neurosynaptic functionalities and the intrinsic characteristics of memristive devices.

          You, as a doctoral researcher, will:

          • Explore energy–delay efficient unconventional computing architectures through both simulation and experimental prototyping
          • Perform iterative hardware–algorithm co-design, accounting for real-world device features and non-idealities

          • Perform algorithm–circuit co-optimization and hardware-aware modeling
          • Quantify performance and benchmark results against state-of-the-art architectures
          • Support tape-out and testing of prototype circuits using Altium Designer and Cadence Virtuoso
          • Set up experimental systems for circuit measurements and data analysis
          • Collaborate within a cross-disciplinary team involving neuroscientists, device physicists, and algorithm developers

          Job description:

          We are looking for you to join us full-time for a position that is initially limited to two years, with the option for extension.

          The position will be based at the DZNE Ulm site, which studies the underlying mechanisms of disease causation with a particular focus on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson’s disease. Using next-generation sequencing, we have identified Mendelian disease genes that cause autosomal-dominantly inherited ALS. We have developed innovative disease models based on these findings (e.g. Freischmidt et al., Nat Neurosci, 2015, Brenner et al., Brain, 2018; Brenner et al., J Exp Med, 2024). We will bring these analyses to the next level by studying the contribution of somatic (mosaic) mutations that may occur during development or aging to ALS. To this end, we are offering a PhD position to employ targeted deep sequencing or single cell-resolved detection of mosaic mutations with low allele frequency in human post-mortem tissue to gain further insights into the role of genetic mosaics in neurodegeneration. Another aim of this project will be the development of in vitro-models for somatic mutations for functional studies, or the development of diagnostic approaches for ante-mortem detection of, and potential testing of therapeutic interventions against, somatic mutations in neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS.

          • Perform and analyze deep sequencing experiments on autopsy material from ALS patients
          • Make use of our established spatial transcriptomic expertise to study mosaic mutations and their downstream consequences in brain tissue
          • Learn and Employ iPSC-based techniques
          • Perform functional experiments on genetic mosaics and test therapeutic approaches in vitro
          • Development of user-friendly tools for data analysis and tracking of experiments
          • Prepare and write manuscripts for publication in international scientific journals
          • Oral presentation of results on local, national, and international conferences
          • Interface between scientists working in the lab and bioinformatical analysis
        • Master degree in biology, molecular medicine or a related field
        • Technical knowledge on the field of cell biology, genomics and sequencing, and its implications on data analysis would ideal
        • Strong willingness to learn new tools for data analysis
        • A keen interest in neurodegenerative diseases
        • English language is a prerequisite
        • We are looking for highly motivated candidates who are open-minded, creative team-player, enthusiastic, have strong analytical skills, think critically, and with good social skills.

          The successful candidate will be assisting to coordinate and direct the project. Therefore, excellent communication skills and team working skills are mandatory.

          Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled .

          The DZNE is an equal opportunity employer. It is committed to employing disabled individuals and especially encourages them to apply.

          Scientific / postdoctoral posts


          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 3.4 Reactive Fluids and Geomaterials (department “Geochemistry”), we are looking for a:

          Reference Number 10924

          The postdoctoral researcher will be part of the CLEAR group. The project is funded by the European Research Council (“Glass2Melt: Universal Model of the Density of Deep Silicate Melts”). 

          Within the research group CLEAR, we endeavour to understand large-scale geological processes that operate deep inside planets. Our approach is to recreate high-pressure-temperature conditions in the laboratory and examine various physical properties of geomaterials (minerals, rocks, glasses, and melts) in situ using state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques. We then use these properties in collaboration with geodynamicists to create numerical models of planets.

          We are looking for a highly motivated individual who would want to be part of a five-year research program to quantify the density of silicate glasses and melts at high-pressure conditions. The primary research focus will be on measuring the thermoelastic response (e.g., the thermal expansion coefficient) of silicate glasses and melts in the resistive- and laser-heated diamond anvil cell using supercontinuum-based interferometry and other optical techniques. The resulting data will quantify the effect of temperature on the volume of multicomponent silicate glasses across the pressure range of the Earth’s mantle, and contribute to the foundation of the universal silicate melt density model.

          The successful candidate will further develop the all-optical method for density measurements in the diamond anvil cell, and collaborate with the existing group members as well as with Prof. Dr. Bjoern Winkler (Goethe University Frankfurt), Dr. Ilya Veksler (GFZ), and Dr. Sergio Speziale (GFZ) to gain deep insights into the composition-structure-property relation in the silicate glass system.

          Your responsibilities:

          • Develop an experimental setup for Resistive-Heated Diamond Anvil Cell research in the existing optical spectroscopy laboratories
          • Volumetric measurements in Resistive- and Laser-heated Diamond Anvil Cells on silicate glasses 
          • Improve the all-optical method for density measurements in the diamond anvil cell
          • Proactive scientific interaction within the research group and with other groups at the GFZ
          • Report progress regularly at group meetings, domestic, and international conferences
          • Publication of the results in peer-reviewed journals

          Your qualifications:

          • A Master's degree or equivalent and a PhD degree in Geosciences, Physics, Chemistry, or a related discipline
          • Experience with Resistive-Heated Diamond Anvil Cells
          • Strong interest in glass/melt-physics and challenging experimental work
          • Basic knowledge of optical, infrared, and Raman spectroscopies
          • Experience with bench-top optical setups
          • Basic programming skills would be beneficial
          • Proficiency in written and spoken English

          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

          The CiiM was founded in 2015 as a joint initiative of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) and Hannover Medical School (MHH) and is the first research institute explicitly dedicated to the development of personalized medicine for infections. The departments and groups at CiiM are working toward the vision of treating infection patients in a way that is tailored and optimized to the specific needs and requirements of each individual. To achieve this, CiiM is dedicated to researching individual characteristics and their influence on susceptibility to infection or the success of treatment with available therapies.

          In your role as an all-round IT system administrator at the Hanover site, you will be integrated into the structures of the HZI data center in Braunschweig and work closely with colleagues at the MHH data center and the neighboring TWINCORE. The aim is to build up the site, establish both local and central IT services provided by the parent institutions in cooperation with the data centers, and support local science in all IT matters. As the contact person for the integration of new and existing devices into the infrastructure, you will work independently in close coordination with the site management and the scientific working groups in Hanover. You will also support the onboarding of new employees at the Hanover site.

          For training purposes, the successful candidate will first be trained at the Braunschweig site for 2-3 months to familiarize themselves with the systems and processes in the data center and to plan the site together with colleagues from Braunschweig. At the same time, implementation will take place at the Hanover site.

          DESY-Zeuthen

          The Photo lnjector Test Facility PITZ in Zeuthen (near Berlin) is one of the leading international groups in developments on modern photo injectors and their applications. Current R&D goals of PITZ include improving electron source brightness beyond state of the art for X-ray Free Electron Lasers as well as applications of high brightness beams e.g. for FLASH radiation therapy R&D (FLASHlab@PITZ).FLASH radiation therapy (FLASH RT) involves treatments delivered at ultra-high dose rates, and is a new and exciting opportunity for cancer treatment. The PITZ accelerator is the perfect test facility for this new technique as it is extremely flexible in the timing of the irradiation bunches and the corresponding dose rates and can deliver full treatment doses within a 1 ms bunch train. The detectors and methods established for dosimetry of conventional radiotherapy are not suitable for FLASH RT. The student will develop suitable detection and dosimetry methods at ultra-high dose rates, making use of the detector expertise developed for particle, astroparticle and accelerator physics applications at DESY Zeuthen in cooperation with national and international partners.

          About your role:

          • Simulate beam interactions using software packages such as GEANT
          • Prototype and test several sensors for dosimetry
          • Implement the sensors and readout at FLASHlab@PITZ and test them with the unique beam properties available
          • Optimize beam dynamics and test with phantoms to optimise the delivered dose
          • Analyze experimental data and compare with simulation results
          • Participate in shift operation for R&D at PITZ

          About you:

          • Excellent university degree in experimental physics, with very good knowledge in detector physics and corresponding simulations or equivalent qualification
          • Strong background in numerical and statistical methods
          • Good knowledge in experimental characterization of particle beams; good programming skills are of advantage
          • Knowledge in beam dynamics simulations / radiation physics / dosimetry is of advantage
          • Very good command of English is required and knowledge of German is of advantage
          • Excellent teamwork abilities in an international environment

          Look forward to a unique working environment on our international research campus. Respectful cooperation and the well-being of our DESY employees are particularly important to us. Gender equality is an important aspect for us. To support work life balance we offer flexible working hours, variable part-time, job-sharing models and participation in mobile work (up to 50%). You will benefit from our family-friendly and collegial atmosphere, our established health management and occupational pension provision. As a public funded employer, we offer you a secure workplace and facilitate your individual career with our comprehensive training and development opportunities. Remuneration is according to the regulations of the TV-AVH. DESY offers its employees a financial supplement for a German job ticket (Deutschland-Ticket) at both locations.

          Project: Computational tool development for longitudinal metagenomic data

          The human microbiome, a complex community of microorganisms colonizing the human host, has been recognized as an important determinant for health and disease. Both the composition and the genetic makeup of this community are not static: horizontal gene transfer, for example, can distribute antibiotic resistance or virulence factors across different bacterial species. The Precision Microbial Genomics (PMIG) group is interested in developing computational tools and analysis approaches to gain a deeper understanding of microbial genome variation over time.

          Job description:

          The Potsdam Memorandum of 2007 called on science and society to tap into all sources of ingenuity and cooperation in an effort to tackle the great planetary challenges of our time. The arts are among these sources: They can provide insights beyond the scope of scientific analysis and policy development, challenge our views and open new avenues to work together towards alternative futures, while fostering dialogue across cultures, ontologies, and territories. 

          Reference Number 10920

          The DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program, the City of Potsdam, and the Research Institute for Sustainability (RIFS) at GFZ are issuing a joint call for applications for international artists who wish to develop work that explores the intersection between art and sustainability during a fellowship in Potsdam, Germany. The programme seeks to foster exchange between the arts, academia, politics, and civil society. We encourage the participation of artists with critical voices and perspectives that are absent in German and Western European discussions on sustainability. 

          We especially welcome applications from candidates whose interests dovetail with our research activities in the areas of: air quality, climate change, consumption, democracy, digitalisation, energy, just transition, mindsets, mobility, rights of nature, risks and hazards, citizen engagement, and/or sustainability challenges faced in the Arctic, European cities and regions (e.g., Brandenburg/Berlin), Latin America (particularly the Amazon region), Southern (in particular the Himalaya region) and Eastern Asia, or the Oceans. 

          The successful applicant will join the RIFS Fellow Programme, which frequently hosts artists as well as scientists and practitioners from business and civil society. The fellowship spans a period of at least four and ideally up to six months, starting in mid-2026. Fellows will receive a monthly stipend of 2,500 Euro, plus a lump sum for travel expenses (return journey to Potsdam from your current country of residence), and up to 5,000 Euros for housing support. In addition, we provide support on various legal requirements such as visa applications. 

          This call for applications is open to artists active in any field – from the visual arts to filmmaking, the performing arts, literature, music, and beyond. While we value artistic experience, we recognize that exceptional talent and creativity can often transcend traditional benchmarks. We encourage individuals with a passion for their craft and a strong portfolio to apply. We welcome joint applications by artistic collectives, but our financial resources (see above) are limited. Some proficiency in the English language, as well as interest in research on sustainability, climate justice and/or planetary futures, are preconditions for a successful residency.

          Have we piqued your interest?

          If so, we look forward to receiving your application in English. Application deadline is 8th February 2026.

          Your application must include the following documents as individual PDF files, each not exceeding 5MB:  

          Letter of motivation (max. 2 pages): Please explain your motivation to apply for this fellowship. In particular, please outline how your project would benefit from a collaboration with one of the RIFS research groups. Please indicate which RIFS research group would be your preferred cooperation partner. Please declare any use of AI in preparing your application.

          CV (max. 2 pages): Please outline the key steps in your career.

          Portfolio (max. 20 pages): Please provide us with your portfolio or links to websites hosting your work.

          Proposal (max. 10 pages): Please outline your intended project during your fellowship, paying special attention to how it would relate to sustainability and be implemented at RIFS, in the Potsdam/Berlin area and/or the German art world. Please make explicit, what work spaces, materials or other resources you require to implement your project. 

          All documents must be submitted as separate PDF files in English via our online application portal. Your complete application (all files) should not exceed 25MB. 

          Successful applicants will be selected by representatives from the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program, the City of Potsdam, RIFS and independent external jury members from academia and the arts. The top candidate(s) will be interviewed prior to make a final decision. 

          We expect to reach our decision in March/April 2026. 

          As part of the fellowship, we expect that the successful applicant(s) present their work to the public. This does not necessarily mean completed art pieces, but more broadly their topics, approach and perspective on planetary transitions. 

          Please check also our FAQ section. In case of any further queries, please contact Achim Maas, Head of the RIFS Fellow Programme, either via email or phone +49 (0)331-6264-22-355.

          Reference Number 10932

          SOLVE sub-project HYDROCONNECT

          This position is part of the project “Securing Terrestrial Water Cycles: the Helmholtz SOlution Lab Elbe RiVEr Basin (SOLVE)”, funded by the Helmholtz Association. SOLVE brings together expertise from seven Helmholtz Centres and 10 stakeholder institutions to develop a science-based decision framework for the Elbe River catchment. The overarching goal is to identify and optimise water management practices that preserve or restore hydrological and biological connectivity.
          We are looking for a candidate working on investigating the hydrological/hydrogeological connectivity in the Elbe River basin to assess groundwater resilience under climatic and water management scenarios. Activities will rely on coupled hydrological and groundwater modelling combined with machine learning techniques to quantify groundwater recharge and resilience to climate variability, predict possible developments under future climate change and thus providing guidance for its sustainable management. The student will closely interact with other partners in SOLVE, and in particular in the sub-project HYDROCONNECT, where soil moisture connectivity and its relationship with streamflow will be quantified using satellite data, and gravity-based terrestrial water storage observations will be integrated with isotopic tracer methods and geophysical monitoring.

          Your responsibilities:

          • Develop a hybrid framework to approximate groundwater recharge from distributed hydrologic model and translate it into groundwater table fluctuations (WTF) for its direct use in groundwater modelling
          • Employ xAI to uncover the key climatic, land surface, and hydrogeological drivers underpinning the recharge–WTF dynamics and to reduce uncertainty in recharge estimation
          • Introduce groundwater resilience analysis by linking recharge dynamics with aquifer response under stress scenarios 
          • 3D groundwater modelling assisted with XAI to test how resilient the aquifer is under different recharge–demand scenarios and to highlight controlling factors (climate variability, land cover ...) influencing resilience 
          • Interpretation and publication of results in peer-reviewed journals 

          Your qualifications:

          • A Master's degree or a diploma in Physics, Mathematics or Geosciences is mandatory 
          • Knowledge of thermal-hydraulic physical processes 
          • Knowledge in 3D hydrological and hydrogeological modelling and numerical methods
          • Programming skills are an advantage 
          • Strong social and excellent communication skills
          • Very good English language skills 

          What we offer:

          • Ambitious and varied tasks in a dynamic and international research environment

          DESY

          Scientific computing contributes significantly to the CO2 footprint created by research conducted in ErUM (Exploration of Universe and Matter). In order to advance the environmental sustainability in this area the SUSFECIT (Sustainable Federated Compute Infrastructures) research network has been proposed with the goal to contribute to developing a strategy and interlinked software ecosystems to reduce the CO2 footprint and to increase the energy efficiency of distributed computing resources. The basic idea is to exploit the dispatchability of compute jobs in space and time and use the partition of a federated computing infrastructure at a place, which at a certain time, is (dominantly) powered by renewable energies such as from wind turbines and solar power plants.Together with project partners and stakeholders from a larger collaboration, the successful candidate will investigate, analyse and design energy and compute load profiles together with the scientific partners of the ErUM community. Additionally, development and testing of a digital twin (simulation) including the integration of additional research data centers of the partners and usage in a Germany-wide federated computing model needs to be done. In this context forecasting models need to be integrated and optimized for usage in this interlinked ecosystem. This should result in drafting of an implementation plan with local users and ErUM partners. Finally tutorials for the creation of awareness and education of scientists need to be created.

          Job description:PhD position in "Insights into Arctic Ocean Stratigraphy and Paleoceanography from Cosmogenic and Radiogenic Nuclides" (f/d/m)

          Background
          The Arctic Ocean is currently undergoing drastic changes in response to anthropogenic climate change. Understanding its state during past warm periods is pivotal to aid our ability to project future changes. Arctic Ocean sediments provide such a window into the climate history of the Arctic Ocean, however, uncertainties in their chronologies do not currently allow an unequivocal interpretation of these records.

          This project aims to improve the stratigraphy of Arctic Ocean sediments using cosmogenic 10Be and 26Al, and radiogenic 231Pa and 230Th isotopes. Combined, these isotopes will provide new insights into the paleoceanographic changes in the Arctic Ocean and their timing. The project will be embedded in the ERC-Synergy project "i2B". It will be conducted in close collaboration between the Alfred Wegener Institute, Bremerhaven, and the Arctic University of Norway in Tromsö (UiT), providing a unique opportunity to operate in a multidisciplinary international network.

          For this endeavor, we are seeking a highly motivated and skilled team member for a PhD project, who has a keen interest in geochronology, paleoclimatology, and geochemistry.

          Your Tasks
          • Prepare and analyze samples from new and existing sediment cores from the Arctic Ocean and the Nordic Seas for authigenic 10Be/9Be and 26Al/27Al, as well as U-series isotopes (231Pa/230Th)
          • Interpret the obtained records in the context of existing data and models
          • Synthesize the results into a stratigraphic framework and paleooceanographic interpretation
          • Publish your results in international peer-reviewed journals
          • Present your research at international conferences
          • Be a member of the i2B consortium


          Your Profile
          • MSc (or equivalent) in Geosciences or related topics
          • Strong background in geochemistry, (paleo-)climatology, and/or geochronology
          • Strong skills in data analysis
          • Fluency in English both written and spoken (approximately equivalent to CEFR level C1)
          • A strong interest in collaborative research


          Preferred Qualifications and Skills
          • Relevant laboratory experience (wet-chemistry, spectrometric methods, column chromatography, geochemical analyses, or similar) is a strong advantage
          • Experience with radiogenic isotopes is an advantage
          • Previous experience in scientific writing will be highly advantageous

          Background
          Microplastics (MPs, <5 mm) are increasingly being detected in sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plants, as they are not fully removed during conventional treatment processes. These particles can accumulate in the sludge, which is often applied to agricultural land, potentially introducing MPs into soils and the wider environment. Monitoring and analyzing MPs in sewage sludge is therefore critical to understanding their environmental fate and potential risks. Within the framework of the project MikroStrat-SH2, sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plants in the region of Schleswig-Holstein will be analysed for MPs.

          As part of the Master’s thesis, efficient methods for extracting MPs from sewage sludge will be optimized, and environmental samples will be analyzed. The samples will be extracted and purified, then analyzed using LUMOS II micro-FTIR spectroscopy.

          PHD Thesis


          Job description:

          Your Job:

          Aerosol particles act as ice nucleating particles, providing surface for water vapour to deposit and freeze into ice particles. Formation of cirrus clouds and subsequent sedimentation of ice crystals can dehydrate air in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) region, thereby influencing the water vapor budget of this region. Aerosols and cirrus are important to the global climate because they interact with radiation from the sun and from the earth. However, the aerosol-cirrus interaction in the UTLS is not well understood because of lacking sufficient in situ data. In addition, the dynamics and transport processes across the UTLS adds complexity to unveil the role of UTLS aerosols in cirrus formation and the life cycle of cirrus. Therefore, it is crucial to measure aerosol composition and properties together with cirrus occurrences in the UTLS for achieving a better understanding of the link between aerosols and cirrus clouds in the UTLS, for which Lagrangian modelling is a valuable tool to revealing the source of UTLS aerosols, the origin of water masses, and formation processes of cirrus particles.

          Your key responsibilities include:

          • Preparation, operation, and calibration of aerosol, water vapour and cloud instruments through the research aircraft campaign
          • Flight planning for aerosol and cirrus measurement missions using Lagrangian modelling
          • Evaluation and interpretation of in-situ measurement data aided by Lagrangian trajectory calculations
          • Presentation of results in international conferences and publication in peer-reviewed journals

          Your Profile:

          The following requirements are for the ideal candidate:

          • Master’s degree in meteorology, physics, environmental science or similar

          Job description:

          Das GFZ ist das nationale Zentrum für die Erforschung der festen Erde in Deutschland. Wir fördern das Verständnis dynamischer Prozesse zur Bewältigung globaler Herausforderungen - von der Milderung der Auswirkungen von Naturgefahren über die Bewahrung unserer Umwelt in Zeiten des globalen Wandels bis hin zum verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit natürlichen Ressourcen. Wir sind Mitglied der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft, der größten deutschen Wissenschaftsorganisation. Mit rund 1.200 Beschäftigten sowie ca. 500 Gästen tragen wir zum Helmholtz-Forschungsbereich Erde und Umwelt bei und verbinden Spitzenforschung mit gesellschaftlicher Relevanz und internationaler Zusammenarbeit. Unsere Arbeit integriert multidisziplinäre Studien über die Systeme der Erde und nutzt fortschrittliche Technologien und Infrastrukturen, um Lösungen zu erforschen und unser Wissen in die Gesellschaft zu tragen. Wir tun dies im Einklang mit unserer Vision: „Am Puls der Erde, um sie als lebensfreundlichen Planeten zu erhalten“.

          In der Sektion 2.2 Geophysikalische Abbildung des Untergrunds (Department „Geophysik“) ist die folgende Stelle zu besetzen:

          Kennziffer 10983

          Im Verbundprojekt ConvEx sollen integrierte Explorationsmethoden zur räumlichen Abbildung hydrothermaler Konvektion für die tiefengeothermische Erschließung entwickelt werden. Im Teilvorhaben „Elektromagnetische Exploration für geothermische Aufsuchungsfelder” werden Explorationskampagnen mit den Methoden der Controlled Source Elektromagnetik (CSEM) und Magnetotellurik (MT) zur Detektion von Kontrasten der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit in Reservoirtiefe durchgeführt.

          Die Wirtschaftlichkeit hydrothermaler Geoenergieprojekte hängt in erster Linie von der Temperatur und der Fließrate am Bohrlochkopf ab. Hochpermeable und hydraulisch aktive Zonen mit hohen Temperaturgradienten sind ideale geothermische Reservoirs. Mithilfe elektromagnetischer Verfahren können Volumenelemente erhöhter Permeabilität identifiziert werden, da die elektrische Leitfähigkeit von Gesteinen maßgeblich von der elektrolytischen Leitfähigkeit der Fluide im Porenraum sowie von dessen durchflusswirksamer Porosität abhängt.

          Im Rahmen des Verbundvorhabens werden die Ergebnisse der EM-Verfahren mit anderen geophysikalischen und petrophysikalischen Daten sowie mit Messungen der geothermischen Gradienten kombiniert. Darüber hinaus werden gekoppelte thermisch-hydraulisch-mechanische numerische Simulationen durchgeführt.

          Job description:

          Your Job:

          The work will examine global supply chains for wind turbines, particularly offshore, or for microchip and semiconductor technologies, to identify bottlenecks, dependencies, and transformation paths. Based on a systematic literature review and trade data analysis, the first step will be to select the technologies to be considered (e.g., generator- and permanent magnet-based). A material flow-based database for the supply chain will then be established for these technologies, which will provide a basis for analyzing dependencies and the demand for (critical) raw materials. Specifically, you will work on the following tasks:

          • Literature review on the global supply chain for wind turbines, including key production steps (raw materials – intermediate products – components – end products) and major production sites at the country level
          • Compile and assess key technologies, potential substitutes, emerging technological developments, and associated development potentials and risks
          • Conduct literature research on critical materials and material substitutes, including LCA-based material overviews, criticality assessments (e.g., EU evaluations or global production capacities), and potential substitutes for current and future technologies
          • Select relevant technologies/raw materials and create scenarios as a basis for a material flow analysis
          • Perform import/export analysis of raw materials, intermediate products, and finished products based on, for example, historical trade data ( www.cepii.fr/CEPII/en/bdd_modele/bdd_modele_item.asp )
          • Analysis of historical developments in material flows
          • Develop a database on material flows, including key figures such as volumes, origins, and processing stages, and analyze the demand for relevant raw materials, intermediate products, and production inputs


          The project offers the opportunity to deal intensively with the renewable energy value chain and to work out connections to critical raw materials. The project is supervised by the Chair of Energy Economics at TU Dresden in cooperation with the Resource Strategies Department of Jülich System Analysis at Forschungszentrum Jülich. This thesis aims to publish a research article in a renowned international journal (e.g., Energy Policy, Journal of Industrial Production).

          Your Profile:

          • Very good academic records in your master`s studies in the field of energy technologies, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, physics, or a comparable field
          • Knowledge of renewable energy technologies
          • Experience with and/or interest in setting up a comprehensive database on material flows and their evaluation
          • Knowledge of an object-oriented programming language (e.g., Python, Matlab) and MS Office
          • Fluent language skills in written and spoken English 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:

          PHD Thesis


          Job description:

          Your Job:

          Remote sensing data from satellites are an extremely valuable information source to improve air quality predictions. They monitor aerosol and trace gases often with global coverage, which is far beyond in-situ observational networks. However, the accuracy of satellite retrievals depends on several assumptions leading to biased observations.

          • The aim of the PhD-project is to overcome this limitation in the use of satellite observations by make a direct use of radiance observations retrieved by satellites using machine learning without the need of radiative transfer calculations. The new model will be developed using the example of the novel Earth Explorer EarthCARE and will be integrated as observation operator to the sophisticated data assimilation system of the EURopean Air pollution Dispersion – Inverse Model (EURAD-IM).



          The PhD project will be conducted in the atmospheric modeling group of the Institute of Climate and Energy Systems (ICE-3) at Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Meteorological Institute at the University of Cologne. At ICE-3 detailed investigations of the emission of atmospheric constituents are performed using the 4-dimensional variational (4D-var) data assimilation method implemented into the EURAD-IM. In atmospheric chemistry modeling, the 4D-var method is a powerful tool to assess the state of the atmosphere and the corresponding emissions that are in compliance with observations. The AWARES group at the University of Cologne provides extensive expertise in remote sensing and radiative effects in the atmosphere. To include the observations in the assimilation procedure, so called observation operators, mapping the model state to the observation space, are essential.

          • Within the project, the direct use of radiance measurements from EarthCARE will be explored by developing a machine learning model that directly maps the radiances on the aerosol properties. Thus, the modelling framework of the EURAD-IM will be enabled to use radiance assimilation for operational services.



          The innovative application of machine learning to exploit satellite data within numerical modelling links to other scientific applications beyond those of the atmosphere. The project builds on strong cooperation between ICE-3, the University of Cologne and other partners within and outside Forschungszentrum Jülich, which provides an ideal fundament to combine competences across different disciplines (meteorology, environmental science, high performance computing, software development and data science).

          Your Profile:

          Scientific / postdoctoral posts


          Job description:

          The Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, based in Braunschweig, is a member of the Helmholtz Association and conducts top-level research on infectious diseases. Our scientists are developing novel methods and strategies to combat infectious diseases more quickly and effectively. Our shared objective is to develop innovative approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases. 

          The Helmholtz Biomedical Engineering initiative aims to foster new synergies by enhancing collaboration between Helmholtz Research Centres and Research Fields, while also engaging with partners from the applied and entrepreneurial sectors. It focuses on interdisciplinary innovations that deliver rapid solutions to medical challenges. 

          The research of our group aims to discover and characterise the specific ecological principles and factors that govern the assembly of the human gut microbiome and the bidirectional communication between the microbiome and the host. This communication influences the host's susceptibility to infectious diseases and inflammation in both mouse models and humans. To understand the effects of microbiota on the host, we use an interdisciplinary mix of sequencing-driven, microbiological, and immunological approaches on gnotobiotic mouse models and patient cohorts (e.g., El Mouali et al., Cell Host Microbe, 2024; Osbelt et al., Nature Microbiology, 2024; Osbelt et al., Cell Host & Microbe, 2021).

          In order to strengthen our team for a Helmholtz Biomedical Engineering-funded research project, we are seeking highly motivated candidates who are interested in contributing to the development of innovative microfluidic systems for studying microbial communities (e.g., those found in the human gut). The successful candidate will work in an interdisciplinary team across three Helmholtz centres, each with complementary expertise in microfluidics technologies, imaging, AI-supported image analysis and innovative reporter systems. The scientist will set up a microfluidics-based imaging system at HZI, perform experiments in prototype systems, and provide critical feedback to collaborating engineers to optimise the system. The ultimate aim of the system is to provide critical insights into microbial ecology that can be translated into novel types of microbiome-centric medicines.

          This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation.
