The application of ultra-high-dose-rate radiotherapy (FLASH RT) promises reduced normal-tissue side effects while maintaining tumor cure rates similar to those of conventional radiotherapy. There is evidence that a combination of FLASH RT and immunotherapy may be synergistic. This interdisciplinary project is a collaboration among three HZDR institutes (Institute of Radiooncology – OncoRay, Institute of Radiation Physics and Institute of Radiopharmaceutical Cancer Research). The project aims to evaluate the efficacy of combined proton FLASH radiotherapy and CAR T-cell immunotherapy in vitro and in vivo and to characterize the molecular pathways and biomarkers explaining these effects.
At the Institute of Radiooncology – OncoRay scientists (f/m/d) specializing in medicine, physics, biology and IT work together to crucially improve the treatment of cancer by administering radiation therapy that is biologically-personalized and technically-optimized.
The scientists (f/m/d) at the Institute of Radiation Physics conduct research on states of matter under extreme conditions and in very small dimensions.
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.

As the successful candidate you will deploy and operate a large-N array of autonomous barometers in the vicinity of Black Forest Observatory (BFO). From the such obtained data parametric descriptions of time-varying lateral gradients of air-pressure shall be derived. This should lead to the development of models of how atmospheric pressure loading on the Earths surface couples into deformation of the Earths crust. This ambitious approach shall result in a deterministic and quantitative description by which local background disturbances in rotation measurements can be mitigated through a signal correction procedure. You will be involved in the entire research process from conceptualizing the array and collecting the data through developing a coupling model to the final application of a correction procedure. Within the framework of RING you will occasionally conduct measurements at partner sites and supervise testinstallations of rotation sensors at BFO, which are developed by project partners. You will present your progress at project meetings and international conferences and in scientific papers. As the successful candidate you are expected to assist during lectures and field courses within our Geophysics Bachelor and Master programs.
You will carry your research within the project on ’Environmental effects on long-period rotational measurements’ embedded in the working groups at BFO and at the Geophysical Institute (GPI) of the Department of Physics at KIT.
Your supervisors will be Prof. Dr. Andreas Rietbrock, Dr. Thomas Forbriger and a member of the RING research unit external to KIT.

This project is part of an academic-industry collaboration that aims to advance our understanding of kidney disease mechanisms. In this project, we are using active learning for chemical and compound perturbation selection in an iterative closed loop to generate a high quality large scale perturbation atlas — using single-cell RNA sequencing and complementary modalities such as imaging - in human kidney organoid disease models. We will train and generate multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) models on this unique resource to identify perturbations that shift kidney disease phenotypes toward healthy states and support the design of next-generation organoid models. This will guide therapeutic target discovery by predicting and experimentally testing interventions that restore cellular health.

Join our team in the research group of Prof. Dr. Dr. Hermann in Rostock!
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disorder that leads to death within a few years of onset. Despite advances in genetics and disease mechanisms, ALS remains incurable, with most clinical trials failing due to a lack of power and efficacy and high attrition rates. These failures reflect persistent barriers, including disease heterogeneity, reliance on preclinical models with limited predictive power and a lack of coordinated trial infrastructure and opportunities for participation. The CURE-ND4ALS consortium brings together four leading European institutes to overcome these barriers. Within that consortium, the DZNE side Rostock is looking for an enthusiastic scientist interested in working on cohort datasets (clinical, imaging, biomarkers incl. Different -omics approaches) to define the natural history and heterogeneity of ALS to enable biomarker-driven patient stratification.

You will join the World Model of Our World project, an interdisciplinary team of around 20 researchers developing a novel AI world model of the earth system. The position will be based in the Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence group at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies Heidelberg (HITS) led by Jun.-Prof. Dr. Jan Stühmer, in close collaboration with Prof. Dr. Peer Nowack (KIT) and Prof. Dr. Tilmann Gneiting (KIT & HITS). Place of work will be at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies in Heidelberg.
The WOW project, funded by the Carl-Zeiss-Foundation, will develop a modular AI world model to simulate the process chain from long-term changes in global climate to local impacts on societies and ecosystems. As part of the project we aim to bridge the gap between medium-range weather forecast models and long-term climate models. The central topic of our research efforts will be the statistical calibration of machine learning models for weather forecasting, and the statistical calibration of multi-modal machine learning models. To this end, we will develop novel statistical calibration techniques for machine learning models based on proper scoring rules. In an adjunct research project, we are investigating the statistical calibration of generative machine learning models.

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 in line with our vision: “Taking the pulse of our Earth to safeguard a habitable planet”.
For section 3.2 Organic and Earth Surface Geochemistry (Department "Geochemistry"), we are looking for a:Biochar-Now: Biochar from waste materials to reduce CO₂ in the atmosphere (CDR) – potential and environmental risks
The position is part of the Biochar-Now research project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space. In order to keep the rise in global warming below 2ºC (Paris Agreement), it has become clear that the mere reduction of greenhouse gas emissions will not be sufficient and that CO2 drawdown from the atmosphere will be essential. One technological solution is the pyrolytic fixation of photosynthetically generated biomass to biochar. Biochar products are mainly used as an agricultural enhancer, whereas the coal itself remains inert and leads to long-term storage of CO2-derived carbon in soils. To significantly increase the extent of CO2 drawdown with the biochar technique, we will explore the potential and environmental risks of biochar generated from various organic-rich municipal waste streams, such as sewage sludge, particle board wood remains, other waste wood, compost sieve overflow, etc. In addition to the production of biochar, the research will focus in particular on the release of organic pollutants and heavy metals from the coal.
