PhD Position in the SynDiPET Project

Area of research:PHD Thesis Job description:<h1>PhD Position in the SynDiPET Project</h1>IMD-2 – Materials Synthesis and Manufacturing Processes (formerly IEK-1) conducts research into and develops materials, parts and components for current and future high-efficiency energy conversion and storage systems. High-performance ceramics play a key role in this work. The research areas of IMD-2 are: materials for high-temperature applications (thermal insulation and protective coatings for hydrogen gas turbines, fusion plants and solar thermal systems), gas separation membranes for hydrogen and oxygen, sorbents for the direct removal of CO₂ from the air, and catalytic membrane reactors for energy-efficient processes, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and electrolyser cells (SOEC) for the production of H2 and CO, and coatings for low-temperature electrolysers, as well as lithium and sodium solid-state batteries with high safety and stability for stationary and mobile applications. The researchers’ expertise, ranging from solid-state chemistry and synthesis through powder-based and wet chemical processing and sintering to thin-film and thermal spraying processes, enables rapid adaptation to new scientific challenges. The experimental activities are complemented by multi-scale modelling (from DFT to fluid dynamics and finite element analysis), leading to a better understanding and prediction of materials and processes.Efficient conversion and storage technologies are urgently needed for Germany’s energy transition. Electrolysis technology plays a central role in this effort, as it enables the conversion of excess electrical energy into hydrogen. Proton-conducting membranes play a key role in future hydrogen concepts as electrolytes for proton-conducting ceramic electrolysis and fuel cells (PCEC/PCFC). A promising class of materials for this application are yttrium-doped barium zirconates BaZrxY1-xO3-δ (BZY) and barium cerium zirconates BaZrxCeyY1-x-yO3-δ (BZCY).

PhD position - Earth System Science within the HDS-LEE graduate school

Area of research:PHD Thesis Job description:<h1>PhD position - Earth System Science within the HDS-LEE graduate school</h1>In the coming decades, climate change and shifts in land use will have a significant impact on the productivity of terrestrial ecosystems in terms of the services they provide (food, feed, fiber, energy), as well as on the challenges society must address. At the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences – Agrosphere (IBG-3), we develop solutions to safeguard ecosystem services based on an improved understanding of hydrological and biogeochemical processes in terrestrial systems. Our focus is on agricultural and forest systems, which are coming under increasing pressure due to global change. Innovative observation technologies are combined with laboratory experiments and modeling to investigate and predict terrestrial processes across scales (from the pore scale through the field scale to the continental scale), thereby contributing to the sustainable use of the natural resources water, soil, and atmosphere.<h2>Your Job</h2>The PhD position is offered in the context of the HDS-LEE graduate school. We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our world-leading research program in Earth System modelling and improving Earth System Modeling by better merging of measurement data and model simulations.This PhD project focuses on improving how we estimate key parameters in land-surface and ecosystem models, which are essential for understanding climate change impacts. The work involves reviewing existing modeling and model–data fusion techniques, and developing faster, machine-learning–based tools that can stand in for slow model simulations. These tools will be used to test how model parameters influence results and to make parameter estimation more efficient. The project will apply and evaluate these new methods at different sites and time periods, compare them with established approaches, and finally demonstrate their potential in a Europe-wide ecosystem reanalysis. The outcomes will include open-source software, scientific publications, and a PhD thesis.Your tasks within this framework in detail:<ul><li>Conduct a literature review on modern techniques for combining models with observational data, with a focus on innovative parameter-testing and hybrid modelling approaches.</li><li>Gain a solid understanding of land-surface modelling and the land-surface model used in the project.</li><li>Develop simplified, fast-running model surrogates using machine-learning methods to replace very time-intensive simulations.</li><li>Design an efficient training strategy for these machine-learning tools, making use of existing model simulations and actively selecting new simulations where needed.</li><li>Build and test a model “emulator” that can quickly explore how changes in model parameters affect model behaviour, and validate it using independent sites and time periods.</li><li>Use the newly developed tools to estimate key ecosystem and land-surface parameters, and compare the results against existing model–data fusion methods.</li><li>Apply the improved parameter-estimation techniques in a larger-scale setting to demonstrate their potential for ecosystem reanalysis.</li><li>Prepare scientific publications and present results at conferences.</li><li>Publish the developed software openly with documentation.</li></ul><h2>Your Profile</h2><ul><li>A Masters degree with a strong academic background in mathematics, computer science and earth science/engineering, or a related field</li><li>Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Matlab, R, C++, Julia, …)</li><li>Genuine interest in data science and earth sciences</li><li>Good analytical skills with a sound understanding of data evaluation</li><li>Kowledge of numerical simulation, for example with land surface or hydrological models</li><li>Good organisational skills and ability to work both independently and collaboratively</li><li>Effective communication skills and an interest in contributing to a highly international and interdisciplinary team</li><li>Motivation for academic development, supported by bachelor’s and master’s transcripts and two reference letters</li><li>Working proficiency of written and spoken English with extensive vocabulary is required for daily communication and professional contexts (at least B2 level according to the CEFR</li></ul>), supported by a certificate confirming the language level (TOEFL or equivalent or excemption required).<ul><li>Knowledge of German is beneficial</li></ul><h2>Our Benefits for You</h2>We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change!

Postdoc for marine molecular chronobiology (f/x/d/m)

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description:Postdoc for marine molecular chronobiology (f/x/d/m) Background The position will be located in the BICLOPS group, which investigates Biological Clocks in Pelagic Systems. Affiliated with the Marine Chronobiology working group, it is part of the AWI section Polar Biological Oceanography, which uses a wide spectrum of physiological and genetic analyses to understand biological processes in the open ocean. The focus of the advertised position is on the mechanistic understanding of the circadian clock system in a key North Atlantic zooplankton species, the copepod Calanus finmarchicus. Like countless other pelagic organisms, the copepods perform diel vertical migrations that directly determine the environmental cycles they encounter. As environmental cycles synchronise clocks and clocks affect migration behavior, this creates a chicken-and-egg paradox. We aim to understand how circadian clocks can function in such “self-made” pelagic environments. Your Tasks <ul><li>Analysis of the functional interactions of Calanus circadian clock components, including the use of cell culture assays (e.g. Drosophila S2 cells)</li><li>Establishment of Calanus mutant strains via CRISPR-based targeted mutagenesis, including the development/optimisation of microinjections and genotyping protocols</li><li>Phenotype characterisation of Calanus circadian clock mutant rhythmicity</li><li>Possibility to participate in student supervision and teaching activities</li></ul> Your Profile <ul><li>PhD in molecular biology, genetics, marine biology, biotechnology or a related field</li><li>Experience with cell culture work</li><li>Experience with molecular work (e.g. cloning, sequence analysis, gene editing)</li><li>Motivation to explore a new topic (marine chronobiology)</li><li>Ability to work in a team</li><li>Good English knowledge (approximately equivalent to CEFR level B1+B2)</li></ul> Preferred Qualifications and Skills <ul><li>Experience in chronobiology</li><li>Experience with marine and/or non-model organisms</li><li>Experience with in situ stainings (FISH, immunohistochemistry, HCR)</li><li>Experience with physiological and/or behavioral analysis</li><li>Experience with marine biological field work and/or eDNA</li></ul> Further Information We offer We offer <ul><li>Excellent research environment with access to globally unique infrastructure, comprehensive datasets, and international expeditions</li><li>Opportunity to develop and pursue independent scientific ideas and innovative research approaches addressing societally relevant questions</li><li>Close scientific collaboration and interdisciplinary cooperation within the institute as well as with national and international partners</li><li>An international working environment with daily interaction with colleagues from around the world</li><li>Opportunities for professional and personal development</li><li>Flexible working hours </li><li>Annual special payment in accordance with the German public sector collective agreement (TVöD Bund)</li><li>Occupational health promotion and company fitness programme with Hansefit</li><li>Support services and an established culture promoting work–life balance, e.g. through our family office offering childcare services (e.g. holiday programmes) as well as advice on family and care responsibilities</li><li>Occupational pension scheme (VBL)</li></ul> AWI values diversity and actively promotes gender parity, as well as an open, inclusive environment that provides equal opportunities. We are convinced that diverse teams and a variety of perspectives enrich our work and our daily collaboration. In a continuous process of learning and reflection, we aim to ensure that all our employees can be themselves and feel a sense of belonging. We welcome applications from qualified people regardless of binary and non-binary genders, race and nationality, ethnic and social background, religion, age, disabilities, neurodivergence, sexual orientation, and other identities.

Postdoc in “Resilience vs vulnerability of polar food webs to environmental stressors” (m/f/d/x)

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description:Postdoc in “Resilience vs vulnerability of polar food webs to environmental stressors” (m/f/d/x) Background Global warming is reshaping Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice habitats, with still uncertain consequences for complex marine food webs. Alongside these physical changes, anthropogenic pollutants — such as organohalogenated compounds and microplastics— add further stress to the system. Additional pressures include ocean warming, acidification, and rising levels of shipping and tourism. Together, these factors influence the structure, connectivity, and functioning of polar marine food webs. In this role, your task is to model a range of plausible scenarios describing how polar food webs may evolve under these combined stressors. This work will incorporate field data generated by various PhD and student projects within the group, including studies on trophic interactions and the occurrence of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and microplastics in Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems. The outcomes will support projections of ecosystem health and functioning in future polar oceans characterised by reduced sea ice and increasing human activity, ultimately contributing to a knowledge base for the management and conservation of biological resources in these vulnerable ecosystems. Key research questions include, but are not limited to: <ul><li>How might projected changes in sea-ice cover and other environmental variables affect the diet composition, availability, and distribution of commercially important fish species and their preferred prey?</li><li>How could cumulative stressors — such as climate-driven dietary shifts that alter patterns of pollutant bioaccumulation and biomagnification — affect the feeding ecology of key ecological species and the functioning of entire ecosystems?</li><li>Based on model output, what is concrete advice for stakeholders and decision-makers regarding the sustainability of potential future fishing activities in the central Arctic Ocean?</li></ul> The position offers the opportunity to explore your own ideas in a dynamic, supportive, and creative working environment. The postdoc project will be strongly linked to two ongoing PhD projects investigating trophic dynamics and pollution burden in polar food webs. All projects are embedded in the Helmholtz Young Investigator Group Double-Trouble (Junior Research Group at AWI). Your Tasks <ul><li>Simulate and model the results of various pressures on the current and future structure of polar ecosystems, including results from the two PhD projects in the working group, by using different ecosystem models, such as Ecopath</li><li>Formulate predictions on the resilience vs. vulnerability of polar ecosystems to cumulative stressors, e.g., warming, sea-ice loss, species migration, biodiversity loss, pollution, shipping, etc.</li><li>Present research results to experts and non-experts (conferences, workshops, outreach)</li><li>Publish your research in renowned peer-reviewed scientific journals</li></ul> Your Profile <ul><li>PhD degree (or equivalent) in marine ecology, marine ecotoxicology or a related field</li><li>Experience in ecosystem modelling</li><li>Understanding of polar marine food webs and the impact of climate change</li><li>Independent and creative working style</li><li>Goal-oriented and persistent working style </li><li>Proficiency in spoken and written English (approximately equivalent to CEFR level C2)</li></ul> Further Information We offer We offer <ul><li>Excellent research environment with access to globally unique infrastructure, comprehensive datasets, and international expeditions </li> <li>Opportunity to develop and pursue independent scientific ideas and innovative research approaches addressing societally relevant questions </li> <li>Close scientific collaboration and interdisciplinary cooperation within the institute as well as with national and international partners </li> <li>An international working environment with daily interaction with colleagues from around the world </li> <li>Opportunities for professional and personal development </li> <li>Flexible working hours and the possibility of mobile working for up to 50% of regular working hours </li> <li>Annual special payment in accordance with the German public sector collective agreement (TVöD Bund) </li> <li>Occupational health promotion and company fitness programme with Hansefit </li> <li>Support services and an established culture promoting work–life balance, e.g. through our family office offering childcare services (e.g. holiday programmes) as well as advice on family and care responsibilities </li> <li>Occupational pension scheme (VBL)</li></ul> AWI values diversity and actively promotes gender parity, as well as an open, inclusive environment that provides equal opportunities.

PhD position in marine molecular chronobiology (f/x/d/m)

Area of research:PHD Thesis Part-Time Suitability:The position is suitable for part-time employment. Job description:PhD position in marine molecular chronobiology (f/x/d/m) Background The position will be located in the BICLOPS group, which investigates Biological Clocks in Pelagic Systems. Affiliated with the Marine Chronobiology working group, it is part of the AWI section Polar Biological Oceanography, which uses a wide spectrum of physiological and genetic analyses to understand biological processes in the open ocean. The focus of the advertised position is on the molecular/mechanistic understanding of light sensing and internal clock control in a key North Atlantic zooplankton species, the copepod Calanus finmarchicus. Like countless other pelagic organisms, the copepods perform diel vertical migrations that shape the daily light cycles they encounter. As light synchronizes internal clocks, and clocks affect migration behavior, this creates a chicken-and-egg paradox. We explore how clocks can function in such “self-made” pelagic environments. Your Tasks <ul><li>Locate sites of light receptor (opsin) and clock gene expression within the Calanus body</li><li>Characterize the spectral sensitivity of selected opsin light receptors</li><li>Explore how different light characteristics (intensity/spectrum) affect Calanus diel rhythms of clock, physiology, and behavior</li><li>Possibility to participate in student supervision and teaching activities</li></ul> Your Profile <ul><li>MSc in either molecular biology, marine biology, genetics or a related field</li><li>Experience with in situ stainings/imaging and/or cell culture work</li><li>Experience with molecular work (e.g. cloning, sequence analysis, qPCR)</li><li>Motivation to explore a new topic (zooplankton chronobiology)</li><li>Ability to work in a team</li><li>Good English knowledge (approximately equivalent to CEFR level B1+B2)</li></ul> Preferred Qualifications and Skills <ul><li>Experience in chronobiology</li><li>Experience with marine and/or non-model organisms</li><li>Experience with physiological and/or behavioral analysis</li></ul> Further Information We offer We offer <ul><li>Excellent research environment with access to globally unique infrastructure, comprehensive datasets, and international expeditions </li> <li>Opportunity to develop and pursue independent scientific ideas and innovative research approaches addressing societally relevant questions </li> <li>Close scientific collaboration and interdisciplinary cooperation within the institute as well as with national and international partners </li> <li>An international working environment with daily interaction with colleagues from around the world </li> <li>Opportunities for professional and personal development </li> <li>Flexible working hours </li> <li>Annual special payment in accordance with the German public sector collective agreement (TVöD Bund) </li> <li>Occupational health promotion and company fitness programme with Hansefit </li> <li>Support services and an established culture promoting work–life balance, e.g. through our family office offering childcare services (e.g. holiday programmes) as well as advice on family and care responsibilities </li> <li>Occupational pension scheme (VBL)</li></ul> AWI values diversity and actively promotes gender parity, as well as an open, inclusive environment that provides equal opportunities. We are convinced that diverse teams and a variety of perspectives enrich our work and our daily collaboration.

Area of research:PHD Thesis Part-Time Suitability:The position is suitable for part-time employment. Starting date:01.07.2026 Job description:<h1>PhD Student (f/m/d) Mechanical characterization of ion-irradiated layers as part of a materials acceleration platform for the use of high-entropy-alloys as nuclear structural materials</h1>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 performs research to protect humans and the environment from hazards caused by pollutants resulting from technical processes that produce energy and raw materials.The Department of Structural Materials is looking for a PhD Student (f/m/d) Mechanical characterization of ion-irradiated layers as part of a materials acceleration platform for the use of high-entropy-alloys as nuclear structural materials.High-Entropy Alloys (HEA) have great potential to fulfil the demanding requirements regarding tolerance against irradiation, high temperatures and corrosion posed by next generation nuclear power plants. While this resulted in rising interest in such alloys as nuclear structural materials, conventional methods of alloy development with a focus on the iterative refinement of specific compositions have proven too time prohibitive when faced with the vast number of possible HEA compositions and resulting material properties.A recently started European joint research project aims to address this challenge by developing a materials acceleration platform (MAP) for nuclear structural materials. It will combine numerical simulations, ion irradiations and fast screening tests to facilitate the targeted search for HEAs with high resistance to irradiation and corrosion to be used as structural materials in a lead cooled fast reactor (LFR). Special emphasis will be on acceleration of the alloy development process and researching methods to investigate the transferability of ion induced irradiation damage towards neutron induced damage.The offered phd position will focus on the irradiation induced damage of the HEA candidates withing the scope of the nuclear MAP.  This includes the development and implementation of screening tests for irradiation induced embrittlement and swelling as well as cooperation with colleagues at HZDR and European partner institutions working on other aspects of the MAP.Recruitment is subject to final approval by the project sponsor.<h2>Your tasks</h2># Planning and conduction of screening-tests to evaluate irradiation tolerance of high-entropy alloys # Hardness measurement of thin ion-irradiated layers by nanoindentation, including numerical evaluation of the results # Characterization of irradiation induced swelling using profilometry # Independent concept development and experimental validation # Documentation, analysis and scientific publication of results (publications, conferences, dissertation) <h2>Your profile</h2># Completed university studies (Master/ Diploma) in the field of Materials Science, Physics, Materials Engineering, Nuclear Engineering or a related field # Solid knowledge of materials characterization, particularly regarding microstructure and mechanical properties # Initial experience or strong interest in ion irradiation and irradiation induced effects (embrittlement, hardening, swelling) # Basic knowledge of micro- or nanohardness measurement is an advantage # Experience with microstructure-based modelling of mechanical properties is desirable # Scientific curiosity, openness to new topics and willingness for further development # Willingness to communicate and collaborate with scientific partner institutions # Enthusiasm for tackling challenging and complex scientific questions # Willingness to present research results at national and international conferences # Ability to work in a team, independent, structured and solution-oriented working style # Proficiency in scientific software (Origin, Matlab, Python) and good command of MS Office # Basic knowledge of scientific data analysis and statistical evaluation # Excellent written and spoken English skills, German skills desired <h2>Our offer</h2># A vibrant research community in an open, diverse and international work environment # Scientific excellence and extensive professional networking opportunities # A structured PhD program with a comprehensive range of continuing education and networking opportunities - more information about the PhD program at the HZDR can be found here # Salary and social benefits in accordance with the collective agreement for the public sector (TVöD-Bund) including 30 days of paid holiday leave, company pension scheme (VBL) # Depending on the personal qualifications, the candidate may be classified in salary group 13 according to TVöD-Bund # We support a good work-life balance with the possibility of part-time employment, mobile working and flexible working hours # Numerous company health management offerings # Employee discounts with well-known providers via the platform Corporate Benefits # An employer subsidy for the "Deutschland-Ticket Jobticket" We look forward to receiving your application documents (including cover letter, CV, diplomas/transcripts, etc.), which you can submit via our online-application-system.  This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers.

Doctoral Researcher (f_m_x) – Hydro-Geophysics

Area of research: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 in line with our vision: “Taking the pulse of our Earth to safeguard a habitable planet”. For section 4.4 "Hydrology" (department 4 “Geosystems”), we are looking for a: <h3>Reference Number 11282</h3> This position is part of the Research Unit “RING: Rotation in Physics, Geodesy, and Geophysics”, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). RING brings together expertise from several universities, research institutions and a Federal Agency across Germany to improve measurements with laser-optical instruments to observe changes in Earth rotation. The overall goal is to use these observations for enhancing geodetic and geophysical applications, such as quantifying mass variations in the Earth system by climate variability and change. The open position is part of the RING project P6, which analyses the effects of atmospheric and hydrological dynamics on long-period rotational measurements, as a joint effort of GFZ, the German Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). We are looking for a candidate to investigate the hydrological dynamics in the surroundings of a ring laser at the Geodetic Observatory Wettzell, operated by BKG.

Postdoc in "Words and Power in Marine Biodiversity" (f/m/d/x) (HIPP 27.1)

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description:Postdoc in "Words and Power in Marine Biodiversity" (f/m/d/x) (HIPP 27.1) Background HIPP is the HIFMB Integrative Postdoc Pool, and publishes a thematic call for a cohort of early-career researchers once a year. The HUMAN PROGRESS project aims to advance research in the natural sciences by drawing on methods, insights, and knowledge from across the humanities and social sciences. In doing so, it also offers fresh frameworks of thinking for the humanities and social sciences, and works to develop the modern, integrated, and broadly interdisciplinary approach that is necessary to tackle complex environmental problems. Postdoctoral researchers funded under this project will work together as a team and in collaboration with experts from the arts, humanities, social and natural sciences. Our criterion of success is to make a demonstrable impact on research in the natural sciences by drawing on social data, humanities approaches, and ways of thinking. Along the way, all disciplines involved will have to adapt, extend, and to some extent automate their methodologies, to create impact in applications while maintaining a human perspective and mindset. The title HUMAN PROGRESS is intended to provoke critical inquiry. It combines the progress-oriented thinking of the natural sciences and engineering with the word ‘human’ to invite critical reflection on how progress can be achieved that takes humans into account, from the initial phrasing of problems to the impacts of eventual solutions. We invite applications for five positions, with the shared goal of leveraging modern approaches to bridge the gap between natural sciences and humanities and to strengthen existing collaborations between HIFMB and the Carl-von-Ossietzky University of Oldenburg. Postdocs in the cohort will undertake independent projects in collaboration with a principal investigator and a strong interdisciplinary team of collaborators, while also meeting as a unit to work together on joint goals related to the overarching research topic. Further information is available on the project website: HIPP 27: HUMAN PROGRESS - HIFMB Oldenburg Project 1: Words and Power in Marine Biodiversity Names have power. Words carry complex connotations that can illustrate, frame, and modify the message. They create narratives. Moreover, the practice of naming can set agendas by drawing attention to named entities and, by extension, withdrawing it from others. This project will examine the practices of naming and phrasing in an environmental context. We will analyze the naming of various entities, ranging from biological species to protected areas. We will combine modern methods from data analysis, linguistics, geography, and the humanities to analyze the different perspectives and biases that are revealed by the names and the underlying power structures that shape the practice of naming. Your Tasks The work will involve hypothesis formulation, computational data analysis, and interpretation with tools of data science, linguistics, and critical social science. Key questions include: <ul><li>What does our choice of words reveal about the way we think about marine biodiversity conservation?</li><li>How do people communicate about the sea and it’s protection?</li><li>How does the power of naming impact biological research and conservation policy?</li></ul> You’ll be working with an interdisciplinary team of experts that includes, among others, A. Murat Eren (Data Science), Kristian Berg (Linguistics), Kim Peters (Human Geography), and Thilo Gross (Complexity Science). Further details As a Helmholtz Institute, the HIFMB contributes to one of the Helmholtz Research Programs (currently 'Changing Earth – Sustaining our Future') as part of Topic 6 (Marine and Polar Life). The cohort work will directly contribute to the scope and challenges of Topic 6 by researching how marine ecosystems will adapt and respond to human impacts (e.g., fishing and tourism), and by assessing options to remedy and mitigate human impacts. Within Topic 6, this cohort work attends especially to Subtopic 6.1, which is central to the HIFMB mission on "Future Ecosystem Functionality", and Subtopic 6.4, "Use and Misuse of the Ocean". Your Profile We are looking for an interdisciplinary scientist with relevant experience in a social science discipline such as human geography, anthropology, or linguistics. The ideal candidate will have experience in automated processing of textual information using modern computational methods or a willingness to expand in this direction. Requirements include: <ul><li>PhD in a relevant subject (e.g., human geography, anthropology, or linguistics)</li><li>Openness to mathematical and computational approaches</li><li>Willingness to engage in interdisciplinary research</li><li>Interest in the marine environment and marine biodiversity</li><li>Very good English knowledge (approximately equivalent to CEFR level C1)</li></ul> Further Information We offer We offer <ul><li>Excellent research environment with access to globally unique infrastructure, comprehensive datasets, and international expeditions</li> <li>Opportunity to develop and pursue independent scientific ideas and innovative research approaches addressing societally relevant questions </li> <li>Close scientific collaboration and interdisciplinary cooperation within the institute as well as with national and international partners </li> <li>An international working environment with daily interaction with colleagues from around the world </li> <li>Opportunities for professional and personal development </li> <li>Flexible working hours and the possibility of mobile working for up to 50% of regular working hours </li><li>30 days of annual leave (full-time), plus additional days off on December 24th and 31st</li> <li>Annual special payment in accordance with the German public sector collective agreement (TVöD Bund) </li> <li>Occupational health promotion and company fitness programme with Hansefit </li> <li>Support services and an established culture promoting work–life balance, e.g. through our family office offering childcare services (e.g. holiday programmes) as well as advice on family and care responsibilities </li> <li>Occupational pension scheme (VBL)</li></ul> AWI values diversity and actively promotes gender parity, as well as an open, inclusive environment that provides equal opportunities. We are convinced that diverse teams and a variety of perspectives enrich our work and our daily collaboration. In a continuous process of learning and reflection, we aim to ensure that all our employees can be themselves and feel a sense of belonging. We welcome applications from qualified people regardless of binary and non-binary genders, race and nationality, ethnic and social background, religion, age, disabilities, neurodivergence, sexual orientation, and other identities.

Further information is available on the project website: HIPP 27: HUMAN PROGRESS - HIFMB Oldenburg Project 4: Human Decisions in Environmental Systems A central challenge in environmental modelling is to include humans and human decision-making. Almost all natural systems on the planet are severely impacted by humans and thus describing these systems as if humans did not exist is an oversight. However, humans have complex governance structures and decision-making processes that require new approaches to environmental modelling. This project aims to develop such approaches by careful analysis of human social and political behaviour in case studies of resource management. Your Tasks The work will involve gathering information on lobbying and political interest groups from publicly available sources, data analysis, hypothesis formulation, and mathematical modelling of political, psychological, and financial forces that shape human behaviour. Key questions include: <ul><li>Which factors shape opinions and decisions in environmental decision-making of humans?</li><li>How does our societal decision-making work, and is it fair? Is it efficient?</li><li>How can human descisions be incorporated into ecological models?</li></ul> You’ll be working with an interdisciplinary team of experts that includes, among others, Marius Sältzer (Political Science), Barbara Moschner (Psychology), Christoph Sextroh (Economics), and Thilo Gross (Modelling), as well as experts from application domains such as ecology and biodiversity. Further details As a Helmholtz Institute, the HIFMB contributes to one of the Helmholtz Research Programs (currently 'Changing Earth – Sustaining our Future') as part of Topic 6 (Marine and Polar Life). The cohort work will directly contribute to the scope and challenges of Topic 6 by researching how marine ecosystems will adapt and respond to human impacts (e.g., fishing and tourism), and by assessing options to remedy and mitigate human impacts. Within Topic 6, this cohort work attends especially to Subtopic 6.1, which is central to the HIFMB mission on "Future Ecosystem Functionality", and Subtopic 6.4, "Use and Misuse of the Ocean". Your Profile We are looking for an interdisciplinary researcher with relevant experience, for example in computational social science, social psychology, mathematical modelling, or environmental economics. The ideal candidate will have experience in one of these areas, a willingness to expand into the others, as well as a general interest in sustainability.

Postdoc in "Historical Observations of the Marine Environment" (m/f/x/d) (HIPP 27.2)

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description:Postdoc in "Historical Observations of the Marine Environment" (m/f/x/d) (HIPP 27.2) Background HIPP is the HIFMB Integrative Postdoc Pool and publishes a thematic call for a cohort of early-career researchers once a year. The HUMAN PROGRESS project aims to advance research in the natural sciences by drawing on methods, insights, and knowledge from across the humanities and social sciences. In doing so it also offers fresh frameworks of thinking for the humanities and social sciences, and works to develop the modern, integrated, and broadly interdisciplinary approach that is necessary to tackle complex environmental problems. Postdoctoral researchers funded under this project will work together as a team and in collaboration with experts from the arts, humanities, social and natural sciences. Our criterion of success is to make a demonstrable impact on research in the natural sciences by drawing on social data, humanities approaches, and ways of thinking. Along the way, all disciplines involved will have to adapt, extend, and to some extent automate their methodologies, to create impact in applications while maintaining a human perspective and mindset. The title HUMAN PROGRESS is intended to provoke critical inquiry. It combines the progress-oriented thinking of the natural sciences and engineering with the word ‘human’ to invite critical reflection on how progress can be achieved that takes humans into account, from the initial phrasing of problems to the impacts of eventual solutions. We invite applications for five positions, with the shared goal of leveraging modern approaches to bridge the gap between natural sciences and humanities and to strengthen existing collaborations between HIFMB and the Carl-von-Ossietzky University of Oldenburg. Postdocs in the cohort will undertake independent projects in collaboration with a principal investigator and a strong interdisciplinary team of collaborators, while also meeting as a unit to work together on joint goals related to the overarching research topic. Further information is available on the project website: HIPP 27: HUMAN PROGRESS - HIFMB Oldenburg Project 2: Historical Observations of the Marine Environment A central challenge of our time is discovering unknown knowns, that is, information contained in our datasets that we are not explicitly aware of. This project will examine processes of canonization that turn data into knowledge. In particular, we will consider a vast set of early modern maritime records and explore how the observations contained therein can be unlocked for modern environmental research. The project will combine established methods from historical research with modern approaches from machine learning and network science. Your Tasks The work will involve the analysis of historical documents, for example from the Prize Papers project; the creation of knowledge graphs using language models; and the automated analysis of knowledge graphs using methods from network science and cultural analytics. Key questions include: <ul><li>How can knowledge be gleaned efficiently from a large corpus of documents?</li><li>What are the novel insights into early modern history that the corpus can provide?</li><li>How much information can be made accessible for environmental (climate/biodiversity) research?</li></ul> You’ll be working with an interdisciplinary team of experts that includes, among others, Dagmar Freist (History), Maximilian Schich (Cultural Analytics), Helmut Hillebrand (Biodiversity), and Thilo Gross (Network Science).  Further details As a Helmholtz Institute, the HIFMB contributes to one of the Helmholtz Research Programs (currently 'Changing Earth – Sustaining our Future') as part of Topic 6 (Marine and Polar Life).

Further information is available on the project website: HIPP 27: HUMAN PROGRESS - HIFMB Oldenburg Project 5: Science Narratives Narratives are commonly studied in the context of fictional works or political agenda-setting, but narratives also exist in sciences. Scientific narratives shape fields of study and thus determine what is explored and what is ignored. Yet we have essentially no research on how scientific narratives are formed, how they work on the page, how they shape research, and how they change when communicated to the public. Hence, this project aims to lay the foundations for a narratology of the sciences, with a focus on complexity and biodiversity research. Your Tasks The work will involve an analysis of narratives in scientific papers and beyond, including both human-led text analysis and the use of automated methods such as language models. We will formulate and test hypotheses on the generation and propagation of narratives in science and critically examine the role of narratives both within individual papers and across research fields. Key questions include: <ul><li>How and where do narratives emerge, how do they evolve, and eventually vanish?</li><li>How are narratives presented in different papers?</li><li>To what extent is disciplinary progress driven by narratives or vice versa?</li></ul> You’ll be working with an interdisciplinary team of experts that includes, among others, Anton Kirchhofer (Literature), Sina Farzin (Social Science) and Thilo Gross (Network Science), as well as experts from application domains.
