Postdoctoral Researcher – Computational Electron Microscopy and Machine Learning

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description:<h1>Postdoctoral Researcher – Computational Electron Microscopy and Machine Learning</h1>The multidisciplinaryInstitute for Advanced Simulation - Materials Data Science and Informatics (IAS-9)brings together disciplines ranging from data analysis and machine learning to materials simulation, research data management and software development under one roof. In doing so, we extract new information from simulations and experiments, identify patterns and trends in microscopy data, and improve our understanding of why materials and processes work the way they do. We benefit from a strong connection to the Ernst Ruska-Centre for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons (ER-C)and to the Jülich Supercomputing Centre. Within IAS-9, the Deep Learning for Electron Microscopy group develops machine learning methods grounded in the physics of the measurement rather than in generic image statistics. We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher whose scientific home is electron microscopy itself and who wants to develop the computational methods the field now needs: identifying where microscopy questions genuinely require new methods, developing them, and validating them against real experimental data.<h2>Your Job</h2>This position sits at the interface between electron microscopy and machine learning. We are looking for a microscopist or physicist with substantial computational practice who wants to shape how machine learning is developed for electron microscopy – someone who can identify the open questions in the domain and carry them through to new methods. You will work in a team of data scientists and software developers, together with the doctoral researchers of the group, and in close collaboration with the Ernst Ruska-Centre (ER-C). Your tasks will include:<ul><li>Conducting research at the interface of electron microscopy and machine learning, including the application and adaptation of established methods, data analysis, and dissemination of results</li><li>Identifying open questions in electron microscopy where progress is limited by analysis rather than by instrumentation, and where new machine learning methods therefore offer genuine scientific gain</li><li>Developing, training and evaluating deep learning models for microscopy data – real-space imaging, 4D-STEM diffraction and in-situ time series – including the construction and characterisation of the experimental and simulated datasets your research requires</li><li>Establishing what physically meaningful evaluation means for such models: what constitutes a correct answer, when an output is an artefact of the measurement, and which failure modes matter for the underlying materials science</li><li>Conducting and interpreting simulation studies (e.g. multislice, Bloch-wave methods) that connect experiment, theory and model behaviour</li><li>Participation in the scientific agenda of our collaboration with the ER-C: bringing microscopy questions into our method development, and turning model results into statements that are meaningful to microscopists</li><li>Publishing in microscopy and materials science journals as well as at machine learning venues, and contributing to open datasets, benchmarks and software</li><li>Co-supervising doctoral and master students, and contributing to proposal writing and to the group’s third-party funded projects</li></ul><h2>Your Profile</h2>We are looking for a highly motivated colleague who is excited about new scientific endeavors with interdisciplinary approaches. For this you have:<ul><li>Completed Master's degree and PhD in Physics, Materials Science or a closely related field</li><li>In-depth working knowledge of electron microscopy, including image formation and contrast mechanisms, electron diffraction, and substantial experience in at least one of the following: 4D-STEM, in-situ or operando microscopy, or quantitative HR(S)TEM.</li><li>Experience with electron microscopy simulations (e.g. multislice or Bloch-wave methods), or with developing quantitative data analysis pipelines for microscopy data, which would be a strong asset.</li><li>Practical, hands-on experience in training deep learning models, solid programming skills in Python, and working proficiency with PyTorch or an equivalent framework.</li><li>A clear interest in developing methods rather than merely applying them, as well as the motivation to substantially deepen your machine learning expertise within the group.</li><li>Excellent communication skills across disciplinary boundaries; much of the value of this role lies in enabling two research communities to understand one another.</li><li>Strong analytical skills, creativity</li><li>Very good command of written and spoken English with extensive vocabulary is required (at least B2 level according to the CEFR</li></ul>), ideally supported by a certificate confirming the language level<h2>Our Benefits for You</h2>We work on highly topical, socially relevant issues and offer you the opportunity to actively shape change!

Several PhD Positions - Co-Design for In-hardware Learning, Associative Memories and Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks

Area of research:PHD Thesis Job description:<h1>Several PhD Positions - Co-Design for In-hardware Learning, Associative Memories and Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks</h1>We are seeking highly motivated PhD candidates to join our research team and work at the intersection of brain-inspired computing, novel circuits and architectures, and machine learning.The Peter Grünberg Institute - Neuromorphic Compute Nodes (PGI-14)conducts research across several areas with the goal of closing the gap between the computational abilities of modern computers and those of the brain, especially in terms of energy efficiency. We develop novel computing capabilities by incorporating some of the remarkable features found in biological brains. We aim to lower the energy consumption of today’s hardware while expanding our understanding of the fundamentals of computation. Practical application areas include AI and Machine learning, intractable NP-hard problems, scientific computing, and signal processing.<h2>Your Job</h2>Several positions are available in distinct project areas:<ul><li>1) Associative memory based computing: This project will utilize concepts including Dense Associative Memories and Modern Hopfield Networks to both a) physically realize such systems in electronics, particularly using novel content-addressable memory (CAM) designs, including tape-out opportunities, and b) exploring computing applications and algorithms that can leverage associative memories, including machine learning and LLMs, genomics, and classical data science methods (tree models, decision trees, finite automata). We will test these applications experimentally in taped-out IC chips.</li><li>2) Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN) as a promising complement to conventional neural networks.

PhD Position – Linking Above-Ground Plant Function to Root Dynamics

Area of research:PHD Thesis Job description:<h1>PhD Position – Linking Above-Ground Plant Function to Root Dynamics</h1>Plant roots are essential for water and nutrient acquisition and play a key role in how crops respond to environmental stress. Yet, because roots are hidden in the soil, their development and activity remain difficult to observe – particularly under field conditions.Advances in plant phenotyping, on the other hand, allow us to characterize above- and belowground plant structure and function with increasing temporal resolution. Physiological measurements provide information about photosynthetic carbon assimilation, while sensor-based phenotyping captures dynamic changes in plant growth and stress responses.To what extent can available above-ground traits be related to root structure and function?At the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences – Plant Sciences (IBG-2) at Forschungszentrum Jülich, we are looking for a doctoral researcher to address this question within the PhenoRob – Robotics and Phenotyping for Sustainable Crop Production – research environment.<h2>Your Job</h2>The aim of your PhD project is to relate root dynamics to above-ground physiological and phenotypical measures and traits.You will investigate how photosynthesis, carbon allocation, shoot development and root growth are connected over time and how these relationships change in response to environmental conditions. To achieve this, you will combine experiments done under controlled conditions with field experiments.Complementary experiments will provide direct and non-invasive information about shoot and root structure and function. Using advanced imaging approaches such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), you will follow root development and physiological processes over space and time. Together with measurements of photosynthetic performance, these experiments will help reveal how carbon assimilation and allocation are related to source-sink dynamics and subsequent root and shoot growth.By combining these complementary datasets, you will investigate whether measurable changes above ground can serve as indicators – and ultimately predictors – of dynamic processes in the hidden root system.Your tasks will include:<ul><li>Design and conduct plant experiments under controlled and field conditions</li><li>Quantify temporal changes in plant structure and function using non-invasive approaches</li><li>Investigate relationships between photosynthetic carbon assimilation, carbon allocation, and subsequent root and shoot growth</li><li>Develop quantitative approaches to relate root development and stress responses to above-ground measurements</li><li>Contribute experimental data to the parameterisation and validation of functional-structural plant models</li><li>Present your results at international conferences and publish them in peer-reviewed scientific journals</li></ul>The project will be highly collaborative and will connect expertise in plant physiology, root biology, phenotyping, sensing, imaging, data analysis and plant modelling within IBG-2 and the interdisciplinary PhenoRob research environment.<h2>Your Profile</h2>We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who combines scientific curiosity with an interest in experimental and quantitative plant science.<ul><li>Excellent Master's degree in plant sciences, biology, agricultural sciences, crop science, environmental sciences, bioengineering or a related discipline</li><li>Motivation to combine controlled experiments with field-based plant research</li><li>Interest in linking physiological processes with imaging and sensor-derived plant traits</li><li>Experience in quantitative data analysis and statistics</li><li>Experience with R, Python or comparable tools is advantageous</li><li>Very good command of written and spoken English is required (at least B2 level according to the CEFR</li></ul>), ideally supported by a certificate confirming the language levelExperience with photosynthesis measurements, root phenotyping, plant imaging, MRI, PET, field phenotyping, remote sensing, image analysis, machine learning or plant modelling is an advantage, but not a prerequisite.<h2>Our Benefits for You</h2><ul><li>Team & Environment: You will work in a motivated team with an international and interdisciplinary focus – at one of the largest research institutions in Europe</li><li>Research & Infrastructure: You will have access to excellent scientific and technical facilities for your work</li><li>Networking & Exchange: You will participate in (international) conferences and project meetings and actively build your scientific network</li><li>Supervision & Support: We will accompany your doctoral studies with continuous, expert guidance from your academic supervisor</li><li>Work-life balance: We offer flexible working hours to help you balance your professional and personal life.

PhD Researcher (f/m/x) - Laminar 7T fMRI of Medial Temporal Lobe Hyperactivity in Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease 1578/2026/10

Area of research:PHD Thesis Job description:The Multimodal Neuroimaging Group at DZNE Magdeburg is looking for a highly motivated PhD student who is excited about cutting-edge neuroimaging at 7 Tesla, the neural circuits underlying memory, and how these are altered in aging and Alzheimer’s disease. The project is jointly led by Anne Maass (Magdeburg) and Nikolai Axmacher (Ruhr University Bochum). This PhD position is part of the DFG Research Unit FOR 6027 “Layers of Memory” (subproject P06), a multidisciplinary consortium bringing together expertise in cognitive and clinical neuroscience, ultra-high-field imaging, MR physics, and human memory research across several sites in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands.

The medial temporal lobe is among the first brain systems affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Tau pathology emerges early in specific layers of the entorhinal cortex, while abnormal increases in hippocampal activity have been observed during aging and in individuals at risk for Alzheimer’s disease (Corriveau-Lecavalier et al. 2024). Yet the circuit mechanisms underlying this “hyperactivity” remain poorly understood. This PhD project will investigate these mechanisms at the level of individual cortical layers and hippocampal subfields using ultra-high-resolution 7 Tesla MRI. By combining task-based fMRI during mnemonic discrimination and spatial navigation with resting-state connectivity and diffusion imaging, we aim to characterize how activity, connectivity, and microstructure within the entorhinal–hippocampal circuit change across normal aging and early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. A central hypothesis is that aging and early Alzheimer’s pathology disturb the balance of information flow through medial temporal lobe circuits. Reduced input from superficial entorhinal layers together with increased recurrent activity within hippocampal circuits, particularly CA3, may shift memory processing away from pattern separation toward pattern completion, contributing to memory impairment. The project will study four deeply characterized groups: young adults, cognitively unimpaired older adults without evidence of Alzheimer’s pathology, biomarker-positive cognitively unimpaired older adults, and biomarker-positive individuals with mild cognitive impairment. This design provides a unique opportunity to distinguish mechanisms of normal aging from those associated with preclinical and early symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease. The position offers an outstanding research environment with access to state-of-the-art neuroimaging infrastructure, including the 7T Siemens Terra.X Impulse Edition scanner in Magdeburg — one of only very few systems of this kind worldwide — as well as 3T MRI and PET. You will also have access to extensively phenotyped aging and Alzheimer’s disease cohorts with cognitive and molecular biomarker data. The successful candidate will benefit from joint supervision by two PIs in Magdeburg and Bochum and close interaction with researchers across FOR 6027 Layers of Memory. The Research Unit comprises eight projects across eight sites in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. The Research Unit offers dedicated workshops on ultra-high-field and laminar imaging, scientific retreats, and specific networking and training opportunities for early-career researchers. At DZNE Magdeburg, you will become part of an interdisciplinary and international research environment spanning cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging, neurology, aging, and Alzheimer’s disease research, with close links to Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg and the DFG Collaborative Research Center 1436 “Neural Resources of Cognition.” We offer close supervision, regular lab meetings and journal clubs, opportunities for international collaboration, and an open, collaborative, and supportive research environment.For questions about the advertised position, please feel free to contact Dr. Anne Maaß.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.

Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) is one of the most promising approaches in nuclear medicine, relying on artificial radioactive isotopes (ARIs) to precisely identify and destroy cancer cells. However, access to these innovative isotopes is limited: They are expensive and difficult to supply because they rely on large, centralized facilities. However, Laser-Plasma Acceleration (LPA) could offer a highly versatile source of radiation (γ-rays) and particles (ions and neutrons) across a broad energy spectrum, making it a promising approach for generating the moderate activity levels required for innovative radiopharmaceutical applications.To demonstrate this potential, EUROPA focuses on innovative pairs of theranostic artificial radioisotopes. The project aims at optimizing LPA mechanisms to enhance the yield of accelerated particles within the desired energy range.  At the same time dedicated detectors are being developed to support proof-of-concept experiments for radioisotope production, which could be scaled to modern high-repetition rate medium-energy laser systems.The advertised position plays a central role in the enhancement and optimization of the respective laser-driven particle sources required for the subsequent radioisotope generation process.

Doctoral Researcher (f_m_x) - Forest Carbon Attribution from Earth Observation and Atmospheric Constraints

Area of research:PHD Thesis Job description:The GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences is one of the world's leading institutions in the field of geosciences. As part of the Helmholtz Association, Germany's largest research organisation, we address global challenges such as natural hazards, climate change and the sustainable use of resources. In doing so, we combine cutting-edge research with social relevance. Our international staff - around 1,200 employees and approx. 500 guests - work in a multidisciplinary way and with a unique infrastructure to research the dynamic processes of the Earth system. Our vision: “Taking the pulse of the Earth to safeguard a habitable planet.” For section 1.4 Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics (department “Geodesy”), we are looking for a: <h3>Reference Number 11590</h3> Many countries rely on forests to meet their climate targets, but how much of the forest carbon sink is real, and how much depends on management and disturbance, remains largely unverified. This PhD will combine satellite observations, carbon-cycle models, and atmospheric measurements to build an independent picture of forests’ actual role in the climate.This position is part of EUFOR-G3W, a Horizon Europe project contributing to the WMO Global Greenhouse Gas Watch (G3W). EUFOR-G3W develops observation- and model-based products to quantify greenhouse-gas sources and sinks at global to national scales. Within the EUFOR-G3W project, GFZ contributes to the development and application of harmonised Earth Observation (EO) datasets to improve our understanding of forest carbon dynamics. The research focuses on forest biomass, age, disturbance history, and vegetation productivity, as well as their integration into the FLUXCOM-X empirical flux upscaling framework to better represent managed and recovering forests.The successful candidate will investigate how forest management, disturbances, and recovery processes influence the land CO₂ budget across different spatial and temporal scales. A particular focus will be on combining satellite-based observations with carbon flux estimates and assessing how atmospheric observations can independently constrain these contributions.The candidate will be supervised by GFZ and Wageningen University and Research (WUR), in collaboration with Max Planck Institut for Biogeochemistry (MPI-BGC) Jena. They will work closely with a second PhD candidate in the group of Wouter Peters at WUR, Netherlands. Together, the two positions form a duo linking observations and models: the GFZ position focuses on translating Earth Observation data into forest carbon information, while the WUR position focuses on forest and atmospheric modelling and data assimilation. Your research will have direct relevance to international climate policy: Your results will feed into operational greenhouse-gas monitoring systems supporting the WMO Global Greenhouse Gas Watch and the Copernicus CO2 monitoring service. You will have access to a unique combination of global forest EO datasets, cloud-native analysis infrastructure, forest ecosystem models, and atmospheric inversion systems. And you will be in close collaboration with leading European groups at WUR and MPI-BGC Jena within the EUFOR-G3W consortium. Your responsibilities:<ul><li>Translate high-resolution EO forest datasets (e.g. biomass, forest age, disturbance) into model-ready inputs for forest and atmospheric models, while preserving key spatial information</li><li>Quantify the contribution of forest management and disturbance to forest CO2 exchange using model simulations constrained by EO data</li><li>Assess how well atmospheric CO2 observations can independently constrain this signal across regions and timescales</li><li>Contribute to improving the representation of managed and recovering forests in data-driven flux products such as FLUXCOM-X</li><li>Derive national forest carbon budgets and compare them with greenhouse-gas inventory reporting</li><li>Publish results in peer-reviewed journals and present at international conferences and project meetings</li></ul> About You:Essential Qualifications: <ul><li>An MSc in Earth Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Physical Geography, Atmospheric Sciences, Remote Sensing, or a related quantitative field</li><li>Strong quantitative and data analysis skills</li><li>Proficiency in Python and experience with geospatial or large environmental datasets</li><li>Good written and spoken English</li><li>Ability to work in a collaborative, multi-institutional research environment</li></ul>Desirable Qualifications:<ul><li>Experience in terrestrial carbon cycle science, ecosystem modelling, or Earth Observation of forests</li><li>Familiarity with atmospheric inverse modelling or greenhouse-gas accounting frameworks</li><li>Experience with Xarray, Dask, or cloud-based geospatial data analysis</li><li>Knowledge of national greenhouse-gas inventories or LULUCF accounting</li></ul>We do not expect applicants to be already experts across all three disciplines — Earth Observation, forest modelling, and atmospheric inversions. The position is specifically designed to bridge them. What we offer:<ul><li>Ambitious and varied tasks in a dynamic and international research environment State-of-the-art equipment</li><li>Public service benefits</li><li>Extensive training opportunities</li><li>Professional career advice offered by our in-house Career-Centre </li><li>Flexible working hours and conditions</li><li>Support with finding a good work-life balance offered by benefit@work</li><li>Institute day-care centre on sites</li><li>Working at the Albert Einstein Science Park on the Telegrafenberg in Potsdam</li><li>Workplace within walking distance of Potsdam main train station, or just a short ride on the shuttle bus  </li></ul> Start date: 1st February 2027 Fixed-term: 36 months (extension to 4 years possible, subject to funding) Salary: The position is classed as salary group 13 according to “TVöD Bund”.
