Such structures can be used to construct artificial cell mimics and new materials. A scaffold-free DNA tile assembly is a programmable method for the formation of two- and three-dimensional DNA structures which self-assemble from a number of interacting single-stranded DNA molecules. An accurate prediction of DNA structures still remains difficult, which significantly slows down the development of new desirable nano-structures. <br/>In this project, we will combine numerical models, experiments, and artificial intelligence (AI) to guide the design of specific DNA nanoconstructs. The primary goal is to build an AI-based digital twin, which can predict the assortment and sequence of two-dimensional all-DNA motifs required for the engineering desired tessellation patterns at the nanometer scale. We will use available DNA thermodynamic database, coarse-grained simulations of DNA motifs, and existing experimental data to establish an AI model that is able to guide the construction of desired secondary structures. Experimental validation of the established AI model is also expected to be a part of this project. <br/><br/>Specifically, your tasks will be:<br/></p><ul><li> Running numerical simulations to generate training data<br/></li><li> Building transformer-like AI models which can predict DNA structures<br/></li><li> Performing experiments for validation<br/></li><li> Participation in conferences in Germany and abroad (incl. presenting your research results) <br/></li><li> Preparing scientific publications and project reports</li></ul><p><strong><span>Your Profile:</span></strong></p><ul><li> Strong motivation for an interdisciplinary project that combines numerical models, experiments, and artificial intelligence<br/></li><li> A master`s degree or diploma in physics, applied mathematics, or a relevant engineering discipline<br/></li><li> Good programming skills and experience with numerical modeling<br/></li><li> Interest in performing experiments<br/></li><li> Excellent written and spoken English skills<br/></li><li> High degree of independence and commitment<br/></li><li> Experience with machine learning and high-performance computing is advantageous, but not necessary</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!

However, this synchronization necessitates an exact student model, making the ACT often inexact and susceptible to uncertainty and variability. The project will aim at demonstrating how teacher learning can be made robust in an event-based framework, that is, when both the teacher model and the learning rules are event- based. The combination of excitable teacher dynamics and synaptic learning rules will be exploited to demonstrate that synchrony of events (rather than trajectories) can be made robust to mismatch between the teacher and student models. Additionally, the project will demonstrate that the learning rules can be made local and pairwise such as in Hebbian learning.

Their role in the Arctic is less clear. Historically, the interior Arctic Ocean has featured rather weak mixing, which allows for the persistence of a strong halocline: A cold and fresh layer of water insulates the sea ice from the warm and salty waters that enter from the Atlantic Ocean. As global warming induces a dramatic decline of Arctic sea ice, there is the potential for stronger internal wave generation and hence mixing in the Arctic Ocean, which might increase the upward heat fluxes from the Atlantic Water toward the sea ice and accelerate its decline. Testing this hypothesis is a key aim of the young investigator group Artemics (Arctic internal wave energetics and mixing and its interdependence with sea ice in changing climate conditions) in the Climate Dynamics section at the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) in Bremerhaven, Germany. We invite applications for a postdoctoral researcher position to support our research on internal waves in the changing Arctic. A particular focus of this position will be on the internal tides, internal gravity waves of tidal frequency, in the changing Arctic and on the interdependence of tides, internal tide generation, and sea ice.<br/><br/>Your Tasks<br/>Contribute to the scientific goals of Artemics by: <br/><ul><li>Configurating, running, and analyzing numerical simulations of the Arctic Ocean with explicit tidal forcing to study the role of tides for Arctic Ocean dynamics and sea ice and vice versa&nbsp;</li><li> Estimating the numerical internal tide generation and its dependence on the environmental conditions, notably sea ice, and comparing it to semi-analytical estimates&nbsp;</li><li>Applying this internal tide generation as forcing the internal wave model IDEMIX for the consistent parameterization of wave-driven mixing and evaluating it against observations&nbsp;</li><li>Disseminating the results through publications and conference presentations</li></ul><br/><br/>Your Profile<br/>To build the Artemics group, we are looking for individuals with<br/><ul><li>A PhD in oceanography, climate sciences, or a related field</li><li>A strong background in programming (e.g., Python, Fortran, Matlab) and ocean or climate modeling</li><li>A strong background in geophysical fluid dynamics; previous experience with internal waves, tides, or sea ice is an asset</li><li> Very good English and communication skills&nbsp;(approximately equivalent to&nbsp;CEFR&nbsp;level C1)</li><li>Experience in presenting and publishing scientific results&nbsp;</li><li>A genuine interest in Arctic Ocean dynamics and in collaborating in diverse teams</li></ul><br/><br/><br/>Further Information<br/>The AWI is characterized by<br/><br/>The AWI is characterized by<br/><ul><li>our scientific success - excellent research</li><li> collaboration and cooperation - intra-institute, national and international, interdisciplinary</li><li> opportunities to develop – on the job and towards other positions</li><li>an international environment – everyday contact with people from all over the world</li><li>flexible working hours and the possibility of&nbsp;mobile working up to 50% of regular working hours</li><li>health promotion and company fitness with Hansefit and Wellhub</li><li> support services and a culture of reconciling work and family</li><li>occupational pension provision (VBL)</li></ul><br/><br/><span>AWI values diversity and actively promotes gender parity, as well as an open, inclusive environment that provides equal opportunities.

Drawing on a combination of novel glaciological observations, first-principle theoretical work, and ice-sheet-wide numerical simulations, PHAST will generate new mathematical models and process-level understanding of ice stream dynamics, which ultimately aims to unravel the complex interplay between internal ice sheet dynamics and climate over timescales ranging from decades to millennia.<br/><br/>Project Description<br/> The observational strand of PHAST aims to address the question of "How does basal sliding first start?" from an observational angle through an innovative, multi-year field study on a glacier in the European Alps that is known to experience a transition from basal no slip to basal sliding. We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher with experience in glacier geophysics who will help us further develop this field program, collect observations, and perform their analysis and interpretation. <br/><br/> Our field site is the Grenzgletscher near Zermatt, Switzerland. This glacier is of interest for PHAST because it is known to transition from frozen bed in the upper, high-elevation accumulation zone of the catchment, to temperate-bedded in the tongue area.<br/><br/> In the first two field seasons (2024 &amp; 2025) we conducted an extensive geophysical survey aimed at characterizing the geometry, the englacial thermal structure (including multi-frequency ground penetrating radar surveys, active and passive seismics), and surface velocity (with terrestrial radar interferometry and GNSS), with the goal to identify where the frozen/temperate transition occurs.<br/><br/> Informed by the results from the geophysical survey, we will select the most appropriate locations to drill a set of boreholes to the bed in the thermal transition zone. We will instrument the boreholes with tilt meters and temperature/pressure sensor, and use this information to characterize directly friction and sliding in the transition zone.<br/><br/> Position Description<br/>You bring to the project in-depth expertise in geophysical methods for glaciology (e.g., radar sounding, radar interferometry, seismics), including survey design, data acquisition, and data analysis. You also have an interest in the design/development of electronic instrumentation, and ideally also a background in electronics. <br/><br/> You are willing to prepare, participate in, and potentially lead glacier field expeditions in Switzerland, with 4-6 weeks duration max. You are motivated to work in an interdisciplinary team where observational scientists and modelers interact closely to tackle one of the longest standing open problems in glaciology.<br/><br/> Scientific advising will be provided jointly by Prof. Dr. Elisa Mantelli and Prof. Dr. Olaf Eisen. The AWI-LMU Glaciology Group led by Elisa Mantelli is a small and diverse team composed by 2 postdocs, 1 PhD student and 1 research assistant (3f/1m), plus summer interns/ research students. We work at the intersection of glaciology, fluid dynamics and applied mathematics, and collaborate extensively with colleagues around the globe.<br/><br/><br/>Your Tasks<br/><ul><li>Analyze and interpret in-situ geophysical observations (e.g. radar, seismic, GNSS) to support upcoming drilling campaigns</li><li>Contribute to the development, testing, and deployment of borehole instrumentation (tilt, pressure, temperature) in hot-water-drilled glacier boreholes</li><li>Lead the planning and execution of additional geophysical investigations in support of drilling activities and subsequent modelling work</li><li>Organize, participate in, and potentially lead high-altitude field expeditions at the Grenzgletscher field site</li><li>Prepare and submit 2–3 lead-author publications in peer-reviewed journals and contribute as co-author to additional scientific papers</li></ul><br/><br/>Your Profile<br/><span><ul><li>PhD in geophysics, glaciology, or related fields</li><li>Experience in the design of science-driven geophysical surveys</li><li>excellent track-record of publications in scientific journals (including as a lead author)</li></ul></span><span><br/><br/>Preferred Qualifications and Skills<br/></span><ul><li>Experience in geophysical fieldwork in glacial environments (radar sounding, and/or seismics, and/or electronics for field instrumentation) and/or in the analysis and interpretation of geophysical data sets</li><li>Good mountaineering skills, ideally including ski-touring</li><li>Creativity and problem-solving attitude</li><li>Very Good English knowledge (approximately equivalent to CEFR level C1)</li><li>Knowledge of German is an advantage</li></ul><br/><br/>Further Information<br/>The AWI is characterized by<br/><br/>The AWI is characterized by<br/><ul><li>our scientific success - excellent research</li><li> collaboration and cooperation - intra-institute, national and international, interdisciplinary</li><li> opportunities to develop – on the job and towards other positions</li><li>an international environment – everyday contact with people from all over the world</li><li>flexible working hours and the possibility of&nbsp;mobile working up to 50% of regular working hours</li><li>health promotion and company fitness with Hansefit and Wellhub</li><li> support services and a culture of reconciling work and family</li><li>occupational pension provision (VBL)</li></ul><br/><br/><span>AWI values diversity and actively promotes gender parity, as well as an open, inclusive environment that provides equal opportunities.

At locations in Berlin-Buch, Berlin-Mitte, Heidelberg and Mannheim, our scientists collaborate across disciplines to unravel the complexities of disease at the systems level – from molecules and cells to organs and entire organisms. Through strong academic, clinical, and industry partnerships, as well as global networks, we translate biological insights into innovations for early detection, individualized therapies, and disease prevention. Founded in 1992, the Max Delbrück Center is home to a vibrant community of 1,800 people from more than 70 countries.<br/><br/>The Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association (MDC) is one of the world’s leading biomedical research institutions. Max Delbrück, a Berlin native, was a Nobel laureate and one of the founders of molecular biology. At the MDC’s locations in Berlin-Buch and Mitte, researchers from some 60 countries study human biology – investigating the foundations of life from its most elementary building blocks to systems-wide mechanisms. By understanding what regulates or disrupts the equilibrium of a cell, an organ, or the entire body, we can prevent diseases, diagnose them earlier, and stop their progression with tailored therapies. To enable timely application of research findings for improving human health, the MDC supports entrepreneurship and participates in collaborative networks. The MDC has a close partnership with the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin in the jointly run Experimental and Clinical Research Center (ECRC), the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) at Charité, and the German Center for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK).

A better understanding of the complex interplay between environmental drivers and biological communities and their functions is urgently needed to identify environmental impacts, develop future scenarios and provide policy advice. While the complexity of the interactions call for the use of Machine Learning (ML) approaches, off-the-shelf solutions cannot be employed given the vast diversity of microbial communities and the limitations in the number of observations from remote deep-sea sites. <br/><br/>In this project, you will design, test and apply novel, network-based feature selection approaches specifically for the requirements of marine eDNA data (metabarcoding, metagenomics and metatranscriptomics), with a focus on microbial communities from deep-sea mining test sites and polar oceans under climate change. <br/><br/> The goal of the proposed PhD work is to design a new form of network-enabled explainable ML, as well as trained ML models as predictive tools to address questions regarding the response of deep-sea ecosystems to various pressures. A key question addresses the best combination of ML and network analysis to maximize sensitivity and specificity for classification while keeping explainability for a systemic understanding. This approach will facilitate ecological analyses including the identification of indicator taxa and functions to detect ecosystem change and predict ecosystem characteristics under different impact scenarios.

Specifically the information on particulate and dissolved organic matter shall be retrieved from data sampled in the last 10 years in the Arctic Ocean from various AWI ship expeditions (with research vessels Polarstern and Maria S. Merian) and compared to high temporal resolution ocean color satellite products. Due to its light absorbing characteristics, terrigenous dissolved organic matter (DOM) entering Arctic Ocean surface waters impacts upper ocean heating and stratification. Light absorption by chromophoric DOM (CDOM) limits light availability for photosynthetic organisms and protects aquatic ecosystem from harmful ultraviolet radiation. In the Arctic Ocean, DOM and CDOM are highly correlated. Thus, optical-sensor measurements of CDOM absorption serves as proxy for DOM. Most of the Arctic outflow and thereby the total carbon mobilized into the Arctic Ocean, leave the Arctic basin via the Fram Strait and the Davis Strait following the East Greenland Current and the Baffin Current, respectively. With the emergence of continuous sensor operation (e.g., on autonomous platforms), high spatial and temporal resolution measurements of bio-optical parameters are achievable. <br/>However, new challenges arise from the high data load and differences inherent to equipment being operated from various platforms and under environmental conditions out of the operator’s control. Therefore, new specific data processing and management procedures need to be developed. <br/>Within this PhD, we propose to apply statistical computing combined with machine learning (ML) to the spectrophotometric data to derive high-resolution information on CDOM absorption and its origin. This will be complemented by Monte Carlo simulations, triple collocation analysis and data assimilation to develop a frame work for the operational processing and data fusion to finally derive 3- dimensional (dim), and where possible, 4-dim CDOM products at about weekly, 300 m horizontal and 5 m vertical resolution. The CDOM data products with described uncertainties will allow to upscale the detailed station-based observations from AWI’s FRAM Observatory and other AWI expeditions. Furthermore, the products will improve parametrizations in high resolution coupled ocean-biogeochemical modelling.<br/><br/><br/>Your Tasks<br/><ul><li>Create and evaluate a comprehensive data processing chain for the combination of the various data sets covering different vertical, horizontal and temporal scales.</li><li>Apply inverse radiative transfer modeling, spectral decomposition, feature extraction, or AI-based methods be employed to determine the origins of organic matter by examining the spectral resolved information of absorption and scattering properties.</li><li>Automatize processing of the large spectrophotometric data sets including uncertainty quantification.</li><li>Combine the differently spatially and temporally sampled data sets to obtain a 4 dimensional view of organic matter products in the study area.</li><li>Publish the research results in scientific journals and present results at international conferences.</li><li>Develop statistical methodology for the analysis and integration of complex-structured datasets.</li><li>Enhance the understanding of carbon dynamics in the AWI Hausgarten area and the fate of terrestrial organic material input to the Arctic Ocean.</li><li>Furthermore, the successful candidate will fully be integrated at the Phytooptics Group at AWI but also into the scientific infrastructure of the working group "Mathematical Statistics" at Faculty 03 of the University of Bremen.</li><li>Extract information on particulate and dissolved organic matter from hyperspectral absorption data sampled at Arctic expeditions at AWI’s Hausgarten (Fram Strait) in the last 10 years by optimizing established algorithms from statistical computing and machine learning.</li></ul><br/><br/>Your Profile<br/><ul><li>MSc in mathematics, computer science, data science or related</li><li>good programming skills (e.g., in python)</li><li>experience in the analysis of big data and statistical methods</li><li>very good English language skills&nbsp;(approximately equivalent to&nbsp;CEFR level C1)</li></ul><br/><br/>Preferred Qualifications and Skills<br/><ul><li>knowledge in atmospheric or/and ocean radiative transfer, aquatic optics, and/or oceanography are beneficial</li><li>basic knowledge in German (approximately equivalent to CEFR level A1/A2)</li></ul><br/><br/>Further Information<br/>The AWI is characterized by<br/><br/>The AWI is characterized by<br/><ul><li>our scientific success - excellent research</li><li> collaboration and cooperation - intra-institute, national and international, interdisciplinary</li><li> opportunities to develop – on the job and towards other positions</li><li>an international environment – everyday contact with people from all over the world</li><li>flexible working hours</li><li>health promotion and company fitness with Hansefit and Wellhub</li><li> support services and a culture of reconciling work and family</li><li>occupational pension provision (VBL)</li></ul><br/><br/><span>AWI values diversity and actively promotes gender parity, as well as an open, inclusive environment that provides equal opportunities.&nbsp;We are convinced that diverse teams and a variety of perspectives enrich our work and our daily collaboration.

Due to the depth of more than 2.500&nbsp;km and the ambient high temperature and density, many material properties are still only poorly known. We offer to contribute to the ongoing research in this fascinating region. Especially, we are looking for somebody to simulate seismic wave propagation in anisotropic media. The starting points are models based on seismic anisotropy measurements in the deep Earth and elastic properties of related anisotropic minerals. The calculated synthetic seismograms will be compared with and fitted to observed seismograms.</span></p><p><span>The research is embedded in the SPP DeepDyn (https://www.geo.lmu.de/deepdyn/en/) and thus there is an opportunity to work together with an interdisciplinary group and to attend meetings and conferences.</span></p><p><i>This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers.
