The new Peter Grünberg Institute – Neuromorphic Compute Nodes (PGI-14) aims to close this gap and 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. We utilize novel technologies such as analog memristors combined with modern CMOS elements to build practical circuits and integrated chips for end-to-end demonstrations in the laboratory. The institute has close collaborations with the new Peter Grünberg Institute - Neuromorphic Software Ecosystem (PGI-15), as well as device, materials, circuit researchers and neuroscientists within other institutes at the Forschungszentrum Jülich.</p><h2>Your Job</h2><p>You will participate in an international team in an EU-funded Doctoral Network project called MINDnet. The project consists of 15 Ph.D. students at 7 universities, one research center and two companies. The project has partners from eight different EU countries. All 15 Ph.D. projects are within the overall theme of neuromorphic computing and analog signal processing, targeting applications in the fields of communication, sensing, geolocalization, space and biomedical.</p><p>This Ph.D. project will take place at PGI-14 Research Center Jülich. Apart from the time at PGI-14 there will be secondments of 3 months at HPE Belgium (Brussel), SpiNNcloud Systems GmbH (Dresden), and Technical University Ilmenau (Germany). There will also be regular meetings with the other 14 Ph.D. students in the doctoral network, including 4 training schools and two workshops.</p><p>As a participant of the project, you will become part of the group ‘Adaptive In Memory Computing Group’ at PGI-14.</p><p><strong><span>Background MINDnet</span></strong></p><p>The exponential surge in artificial intelligence (AI), internet traffic, and online services demands a revolutionary leap in devices, computing architecture, and integration technologies. As digital computing struggles to keep up with the growing demand, in MINDnet will investigate neuromorphic computing as a promising solution to support such a demand by getting inspired by the brain’s powerful and energy-efficient processing capabilities. MINDnet aims at addressing the challenge through a holistic optimization - from individual computing devices to the overall architecture, including a focus on applications, and training methods - across multiple technological platforms - photonics, electronics, biological neurons.</p><p><strong><span>Responsibilities and tasks</span></strong></p><p>This PhD project aims to (1) optimize the design of hybrid electrical–optical computing architectures and (2) develop learning rules that are both technology-feasible and well-suited for machine-learning workloads.</p><p>The project will consist among others of the following tasks:</p><ul><li>Investigate and design optimal computing and communication architectures for hardware acceleration of large-scale machine learning workloads</li><li>Perform characterization and modeling of electronic and optical devices</li><li>Develop hardware-aware machine learning models incorporating electronic and optical device constraints</li><li>Design and implement hardware-efficient training methodologies for machine learning systems</li><li>Conduct comparative benchmarking and performance analysis against state-of-the-art studies</li><li>Perform numerical modeling and validation of brain-inspired and neuromorphic algorithms</li><li>Design, set up, and operate experimental systems for circuit-level measurements and data analysis</li></ul><h2>Your Profile</h2><ul><li><strong><span>Important:</span></strong> Due to the mobility rules of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie program, you must not have resided or carried out your main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Germany for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before their recruitment date</li><li>Masters degree in electrical/electronic engineering, computer engineering, computer science, physics, or related fields</li><li>Experience with emerging memory devices</li><li>A strong electronics background, including experience in the analysis and simulation of analog, digital, or mixed-signal circuits, including SPICE and related tools (LTspice, Cadence, MATLAB, Python)</li><li>Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a team are essential</li><li>Very good command of written and spoken English with extensive vocabulary is required for the international working environment (at least B2 level according to the CEFR</li></ul><p>), ideally supported by a certificate confirming the language level</p><p><strong><span>Further obligations</span></strong></p><p>You are expected to travel to network partners under three secondments for a typical total duration of 2-3 months.

As part of an EU-funded research project, ICE-1 is collaborating with research groups and companies to address the challenge of designing and operating the Einstein Telescope's computing center in a sustainable and energy-efficient manner.The project's main goal is to develop and validate an innovative, scalable energy concept in which the computing infrastructure and energy system are tightly coupled and jointly optimized. During the project, a container-scale prototype will be realized, which will combine a fully operational computing stack with a flexible, renewable-based energy system incorporating both battery and hydrogen storage. Alongside the physical prototype, a comprehensive co-simulation environment will be developed using hardware-in-the-loop components, enabling realistic scale-up to a full computing center and systematic evaluation of advanced operating strategies. Specifically, the PhD candidate will be involved in the development of model predictive control to operate the energy system and IT load largely self-sufficiently under varying weather conditions, with particular focus on the role of battery and hydrogen storage during Dunkelflaute periods. The developed algorithm will be first test in the hardware-in-the-loop environment developed together with the other partners.

Despite advances in genetics and disease mechanisms, ALS remains incurable, with most clinical trials failing due to a lack of power and efficacy and high attrition rates. These failures reflect persistent barriers, including disease heterogeneity, reliance on preclinical models with limited predictive power and a lack of coordinated trial infrastructure and opportunities for participation. The CURE-ND4ALS consortium brings together four leading European institutes to overcome these barriers. Within that consortium, the DZNE side Rostock is looking for an enthusiastic scientist interested in working on cohort datasets (clinical, imaging, biomarkers incl.

For example, we are working on the battery of the future and exploring innovative battery concepts. We are also investigating how the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) can be transformed from a climate killer into a raw material of the future. The goal of our research and development work is to create cost-effective batteries, fuel cells, and electrolysers with improved energy and power density, longer service life, and maximum safety! Hydrogen production based on renewable energy sources via high- and low-temperature electrolysis is of increasing importance to us.</p><h2>Your Job</h2><p>At IET-1, we are studying the electrolysis of CO2 for the sustainable conversion of green energy into chemical energy carriers in order to defossilize the chemical industry. The process control and optimization of electrolysis from the cell to the stack requires automated monitoring, analysis, and control of the operating parameters and processes. As part of this project, high-throughput experimental systems will be enhanced using Design of Experiment (DoE) approaches in order to efficiently explore the high-dimensional parameter space of the electrolysis processes. DoE is essential for data-efficient exploration and optimization of the process parameter space, as well as for adaptive, data-driven machine learning approaches to map the electrolysis process to a digital twin. In parallel, data workflows and system control interfaces (application programming interface, API) are being developed to automate both process monitoring as well as process control. The API-based integration of the digital twin into the process control of the CO2 electrolysis enables autonomous operation of the system, which can differentiate between market-, system- or network-based operating modes depending on requirements.</p><p>Your Project Tasks &amp; Structure:</p><ul><li>Development of APIs for electrolysis systems and analysis devices</li><li>Implementation of autonomous process control</li><li>Conceptualization and implementation of degradation models for electrolysis</li><li>Studying performance and degradation of electrolysis in dependence on different operating modes</li></ul><h2>Your Profile</h2><ul><li>Excellent Master's degree and subsequent PhD in chemical engineering, computational engineering, computational mathematics, data sciences / analysis, system or process engineering, or related fields</li><li>Excellent knowledge of API programming and automation engineering such as LabVIEW and/or EPICS</li><li>Comprehensive knowledge of data science, data analysis, data management as well as machine learning</li><li>Advanced programming skills with python</li><li>Experience with data-driven machine learning (SINDy, LASSO, SISSO packages)</li><li>Basic knowledge of electrochemistry is desirable</li><li>Interest in interdisciplinary research projects and excellent cooperation and communication skills as well as teamworking skills</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><p>), ideally supported by a certificate confirming the language level.

One technological solution is the pyrolytic fixation of photosynthetically generated biomass to biochar. Biochar products are mainly used as an agricultural enhancer, whereas the coal itself remains inert and leads to long-term storage of CO2-derived carbon in soils. To significantly increase the extent of CO2 drawdown with the biochar technique, we will explore the potential and environmental risks of biochar generated from various organic-rich municipal waste streams, such as sewage sludge, particle board wood remains, other waste wood, compost sieve overflow, etc. In addition to the production of biochar, the research will focus in particular on the release of organic pollutants and heavy metals from the coal.</p> <strong><span>Your responsibilities:</span></strong><ul><li>Process development for the production of biochar from various waste streams</li><li>Analysis of the biochar produced for organic pollutants and heavy metals</li><li>Leaching tests to simulate the natural release of pollutants from the biochar</li></ul> <strong><span>About You:</span></strong><p>Essential Qualifications:&nbsp;</p><ul><li>A Master’s degree or equivalent in Organic Chemistry/Geochemistry, Geology or environmental science</li><li>Experience in the analysis of organic compounds</li><li>Good written and spoken English</li><li>Ability to work as part of a team and willingness to work in an interdisciplinary environment</li></ul><p>Desirable Qualifications:</p><ul><li>Experience in the production of biochar and/or in leaching experiments</li><li>Experience in fieldwork, including sampling</li><li>Category B driving licence</li></ul> <strong><span>What we offer:</span></strong><ul><li>Ambitious and varied tasks in a dynamic and international research environment</li><li>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 is offered by benefit@work</li><li>Institute day-care centre on site</li><li>Working at the Albert Einstein Science Park on the Telegrafenberg in Potsdam&nbsp;</li><li>Workplace within walking distance of Potsdam main train station, or just a short ride on the shuttle bus&nbsp;</li></ul> <strong><span>Start date:</span></strong> 1st October 2026<br/><strong><span>Fixed-term:</span></strong> 36 months<br/><strong><span>Salary:</span></strong> The position is classed as salary group 13 according to “TVöD Bund ”.

Porous materials -- such as cell cytoplasm, mucus, tissues, gels or soil -- serve as a natural propagation media of most microorganisms, including bacteria, sperm, and, more recently, synthetic swimmers. The interplay between the properties of individual swimmers and the complexity of the associated hydrodynamic flows gives rise to a wide range of collective behaviors that remain poorly understood. Addressing this complexity requires the development and application of high-performance hydrodynamic simulation methods, which this project aims to advance.</p><p>In this project, you will work with an existing high-performance code to perform hydrodynamic simulations of swimmers in complex confinements, and also help to further develop it. In particular, you will investigate how the tortuosity of the confinement affects the effective behavior depending on the hydrodynamic properties of the swimmers.
