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.<br/><br/>Research stays are planned at: Uppsala Universitet, Sweden, and Quintus Technologies AB, Västerås, Sweden<br/><br/>Supervisors: Dr. Christian Feiler, Dr. Sviatlana Lamaka, Prof. Mikhail Zheludkevich <a href="https://www.hereon.de/institutes/surface_science/index.php.en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">www.hereon.de/institutes/surface_science/index.php.en</a> <br/><br/>Your profile<br/>To be eligible as a MSCA (Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Actions) doctoral candidate, you must i) not have a doctoral degree at the date of recruitment, ii) not be enrolled in a doctoral program, and iii) comply with a mobility rule requiring you to not have resided or carried out your main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the host country (Germany) for more than 12 months in the 36 months prior to recruitment (i.e. this includes online activities).<br/><br/>Requirements: <br/>Master?s degree and documented experience and knowledge in either of the following: materials science, biomedical engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, materials engineering, engineering physics, applied mathematics, computational materials science or a related field, or other education considered equivalent to these qualifications. <br/>We require good oral and written skills in English.<br/><br/>Additional qualifications: It is advantageous to have experience in one or more of the following areas: <br/>-Machine Learning &amp; Bayesian optimization (Python, Supervised learning, Multi-objective optimization)<br/>-Additive manufacturing of metals <br/>-Corrosion characterization<br/>-Mechanical testing<br/><br/><br/>Great emphasis is put on personal qualities such as the ability to independently plan and carry out work.

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.<br/><br/>Your tasks<br/>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.<br/><br/>Research stays are planned at: Uppsala Universitet, Sweden, and Hydrumedical, Braga, Portugal<br/><br/>Supervisors: Dr. Sviatlana Lamaka, Prof. Cecilia Persson, Prof. Mikhail Zheludkevich<br/><br/><a href="https://www.hereon.de/institutes/surface_science/index.php.en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">www.hereon.de/institutes/surface_science/index.php.en</a> <br/><a href="https://www.uu.se/institution/materialvetenskap/forskning/forskningsavdelningar/medicinsk-teknik/biomaterial-systems" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">www.uu.se/institution/materialvetenskap/forskning/forskningsavdelningar/medicinsk-teknik/biomaterial-systems</a><br/><br/><br/>Your profile<br/>To be eligible as a MSCA (Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Actions) doctoral candidate, you must i) not have a doctoral degree at the date of recruitment, ii) not be enrolled in a doctoral program, and iii) comply with a mobility rule requiring you to not have resided or carried out your main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the host country (Germany) for more than 12 months in the 36 months prior to recruitment (i.e. this includes online activities).<br/><br/>Requirements: Master?s degree and documented experience and knowledge in either of the following: materials science, biomedical engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, materials engineering, engineering physics, or a related field, or other education considered equivalent to these qualifications.

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.

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.<br/><br/>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.

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.<br/><br/>Your key responsibilities include:<br/></p><ul><li> Preparation, operation, and calibration of aerosol, water vapour and cloud instruments through the research aircraft campaign <br/></li><li> Flight planning for aerosol and cirrus measurement missions using Lagrangian modelling<br/></li><li> Evaluation and interpretation of in-situ measurement data aided by Lagrangian trajectory calculations<br/></li><li> Presentation of results in international conferences and publication in peer-reviewed journals</li></ul><p><strong><span>Your Profile:</span></strong></p><p>The following requirements are for the ideal candidate:<br/></p><ul><li> Master’s degree in meteorology, physics, environmental science or similar<br/></li><li> Knowledge of atmospheric dynamics and chemistry would be an advantage<br/></li><li> Good experimental skills and interest in working with custom-built or modified instruments<br/></li><li> Solid programming skills (e.g. Python) are desirable<br/></li><li> Ability to work independently and self-reliantly, while maintaining strong teamwork and collaboration skills<br/></li><li> Fluent in English<br/></li></ul><p><br/><br/>Please feel free to apply for the position even if you do not have all the required skills and knowledge.

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. <br/></p><ul><li>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).<br/></li></ul><p><br/><br/>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. <br/></p><ul><li> 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.<br/></li></ul><p><br/><br/>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). </p><p><strong><span>Your Profile:</span></strong></p><p>Mandatory qualifications are:<br/></p><ul><li> M.

Concurrently, AI-based methods are developed that prioritize interpretability and reduce data dependency by imposing desirable constraints on model behavior.<br/><br/>We will divide our work into three thrusts:<br/><br/></p><ul><li> Thrust A: A first major objective will be to augment classical spike train analysis methods particularly those developed by Prof. Grün and others for detecting synchronous spiking activity with AI-based enhancements. After profiling the classical methods for their bottlenecks, these steps will then be replaced or supplemented with ML-based surrogates or approximators, such as random forests or shallow neural networks, trained to mimic the outputs of the original computations at a fraction of the cost. This hybridization aims not only to accelerate performance but also to maintain, if not improve, analytical rigor. The improved modules will be integrated into an updated analytical pipeline and validated against benchmark datasets drawn from prior studies in the field.<br/></li><li> Thrust B: A second central thrust of this project focuses on making contemporary ML-based techniques more interpretable and biologically meaningful in their application to neural population coding. As a starting point, we will build upon recent advances in graph neural networks (GNNs), particularly those described by which offer a promising architecture for modelling population-level neural interactions. Prior work has emphasized rate-based codes due to their relative simplicity; our approach will explicitly extend these models to capture temporal structure within spike trains thereby moving towards analyses that are sensitive not just to firing rates but also precise timing relationships underpinning temporal codes. To ensure that these advanced models do not become opaque “black boxes,” we will integrate post-hoc explainability tools such as SHAP values (SHapley Additive exPlanations)<br/></li><li> Thrust C: The utility of all developed methods will be rigorously evaluated using both synthetic and real-world datasets. Synthetic benchmarks will be generated using established generative models capable of producing ground-truth synchronous patterns under varying conditions to enable systematic validation across relevant scenarios. All software arising from this work including improved analysis pipelines and benchmarking datasets will be released through an open-source library.</li></ul><p><strong><span>Your Profile:</span></strong></p><ul><li> A Masters degreee with a strong academic background in physics, mathematics, computer science, or a related field<br/></li><li> Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, C++, …)<br/></li><li> Experience in neuroscience is an advantage <br/></li><li> Good analytical skills with a sound understanding of data evaluation<br/></li><li> Good organisational skills and ability to work systematically, independently and collaboratively<br/></li><li> Effective communication skills and an interest in contributing to a highly international and interdisciplinary team<br/></li><li> Motivation for academic development, supported by bachelor’s and master’s transcripts and two reference letters<br/></li><li> Working proficiency in English for daily communication and professional contexts (TOEFL or equivalent or excemption required)<br/></li><li> Knowledge of German is beneficial</li></ul><p><strong><span>Our Offer:</span></strong></p><p>We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change!
