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!

Postdoctoral Researcher (f/m/x) — Event Segmentation and Laminar 7T fMRI in Alzheimer's Disease 4069/2026/9

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description: Join the Clinical Cognitive Neuroscience group, led by Dr David Berron. Our research spans the functional architecture of human memory and the medial temporal lobe, how Alzheimer's pathology disrupts these systems from the earliest disease stages onward, and the development of disease-stage-specific imaging and digital cognitive markers.This position is part of the DFG Research Unit "Layers of Memory" (subproject P7), a consortium spanning Bochum, Bonn, Dortmund, Duisburg-Essen, Magdeburg, and Tübingen, plus partner sites in the Netherlands and Austria. Your tasks will include: <ul data-list-style-type="disc"> <li>Acquiring and analyzing 7T laminar fMRI data using a naturalistic movie-based event segmentation paradigm</li> <li>Segmenting MTL subregions and hippocampal subfields (e.g. using ASHS) and defining cortical layer compartments</li> <li>Applying univariate and multivariate (representational similarity) analyses to characterize event boundary activity and temporal pattern separation/completion</li> <li>Comparing findings across young adults, cognitively healthy older adults, and people in early stages of Alzheimer's disease recruited in Magdeburg and Essen</li> <li>Co-supervising student assistants</li> <li>Preparing manuscripts and presenting results at international conferences</li> </ul><ul> <li>PhD in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neuroscience, or a related field</li> <li>Passion for neuroimaging and neuropsychology, and a genuine interest in the neural basis of memory and cognitive impairment in early-stage neurodegenerative disease, particularly through naturalistic, translational research approaches</li> <li>Experience with (f)MRI data analysis; prior work with ultra-high-field (7T) or laminar imaging is a strong plus</li> <li>Experience with MTL/hippocampal subfield anatomy and segmentation, or willingness to learn these pipelines quickly</li> <li>Strong programming skills (R, Python and/or MATLAB) and familiarity with multivariate analysis methods (e.g. RSA)</li> <li>Good communication skills and ability to work both within a local and a distributed, multi-site team</li> <li>Track record of peer-reviewed publications</li> <li>Fluent in written and spoken English; German is a strong plus, not a requirement</li> </ul> Candidates who meet most, but not all, of these points are still encouraged to apply.<h3>Your role in cutting edge research</h3>Everyday experience unfolds as a continuous stream that the brain must segment into meaningful episodes — a process that depends on the hippocampus and medial temporal lobe (MTL) and is disrupted early in Alzheimer's disease. Importantly, patients in early disease stages report these difficulties themselves, which makes it clinically relevant for their everyday life. Yet we still don't know how this happens at the level of individual hippocampal and entorhinal layers, or how AD pathology disrupts it. This project combines naturalistic, movie-based fMRI with ultra-high-field (7T) laminar imaging, remote cognitive testing and advanced multivariate and AI-based analyses to map event segmentation at subfield and layer resolution, in young adults, cognitively healthy older adults, and people in early stages of Alzheimer's disease.The position offers an outstanding research environment with access to state-of-the-art infrastructure, unique scientific collaborations, and excellent opportunities for professional development. You will have access to 7T scanners, including the 7T Siemens Terra.X Impulse Edition scanner in Magdeburg — one of only very few systems of this kind worldwide — plus 3T MRI and PET. The position is embedded in the DFG Research Unit "Layers of Memory", collaborating with laminar-imaging pioneer Prof. David Norris (Essen) and a wider consortium and collaborators spanning ultra-high-field fMRI, laminar fMRI methodology, clinical neurology and Alzheimer’s disease, and human memory and event segmentation. In addition, you will have access to richly phenotyped and biomarker-characterized patient and control cohorts. We offer close 1:1 supervision, regular lab meetings and journal club, as well as exchange with local and international consortia (e.g. DFG CRC 1436 Neural Resources of Cognition, IHI-ACCESS-AD) and institutions. You will become part of an international, open-minded, experienced, ambitious and supportive team that gets along well beyond just working together.Please submit your application including CV, a short motivation letter, and two references.For futher information on the advertised position, please contact Dr David Berron (david.berron@dzne.de).

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description: Join the Clinical Cognitive Neuroscience group, led by Dr David Berron. Our research spans the functional architecture of human memory and the medial temporal lobe, how Alzheimer's pathology disrupts these systems from the earliest disease stages onward, and the development of disease-stage-specific imaging and smartphone-based digital cognitive markers.Your tasks will include: <ul> <li>Preparing, cleaning, and harmonizing clinical, cognitive, imaging, blood-based biomarker, and smartphone-based datasets across cohorts</li> <li>Developing and applying regression and linear mixed-effects models to detect, monitor, and predict subtle cognitive impairment and future change</li> <li>Supporting ongoing data collection in local and national research cohorts, including monitoring participant adherence and communication</li> <li>Collaborating with our international partners and consortia</li> <li>Preparing manuscripts and presenting results at international conferences</li> </ul><ul> <li>PhD in psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, biostatistics, or a related field</li> <li>Passion for cognitive research and neuropsychology, and a genuine interest in cognitive impairment in early-stage neurodegenerative diseases, particularly through smartphone-based, remote cognitive assessment and translational research approaches</li> <li>Experience with longitudinal modelling of cognitive data (e.g. linear mixed-effects models, multilevel models) and intensive longitudinal designs</li> <li>Experience with ecological momentary assessments, experience sampling methods, or remote/ambulatory cognitive testing</li> <li>Experience in programming (R and/or Python) and data visualization</li> <li>Familiarity with fluid and imaging biomarkers (blood-based/CSF; MRI) is a plus, not a requirement</li> <li>Track record of peer-reviewed publications</li> <li>Good communication skills and ability to work in a small and open international team</li> <li>Fluent in written and spoken English; German is a plus, not a requirement</li> </ul> Candidates who meet most, but not all, of these points are still encouraged to apply. Applications for the PhD student track are equally welcome; requirements will be considered relative to career stage<h3>Your role in cutting edge research</h3>Disease-targeting treatments for Alzheimer's disease work best when started early, ideally before clinical symptoms appear. But there is currently no scalable way to screen for early risk or monitor subtle change outside of costly, infrequent in-clinic visits. Smartphone-based cognitive assessments, completed remotely and repeatedly at home, can detect decline that a single annual assessment would miss. Our group develops and validates such tests and combines them with other biomarkers such as blood-based or imaging biomarkers for research and clinical use cases in early stages of Alzheimer's disease. This project focuses on the detection, monitoring and prediction of memory decline in early Alzheimer's disease using data from national and international research cohorts as well as a real-world cohort, and builds on our earlier work using smartphone-based assessments to detect memory decline.We offer an excellent research environment with access to datasets from richly phenotyped, biomarker-characterized cohorts on remote and unsupervised cognitive assessment, complemented by a network of close national and international collaborators and initiatives from the EU and US as well as industry. Close 1:1 supervision, regular lab meetings and journal club are provided within an international, open-minded, experienced, ambitious and supportive team that gets along well beyond just working together.Please submit your application including CV, a short motivation letter, and two references.For futher information on the advertised position, please contact Dr David Berron (david.berron@dzne.de).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.

PhD Position in "StratCAO – Salt and freshwater processes altering Stratification in a Changing Arctic Ocean" (f/d/x/m)

Area of research:PHD Thesis Part-Time Suitability:The position is suitable for part-time employment. Job description:PhD Position in "StratCAO – Salt and freshwater processes altering Stratification in a Changing Arctic Ocean" (f/d/x/m) Background The Arctic Ocean is an important part of the global climate system and is currently changing at a dramatic rate. However, Arctic observations are still limited, and multiple datasets have not been analysed in a synergetic way. In particular, strong sea ice melt is related to changes in upper ocean stratification, which, for cold Arctic waters, is dominated by salinity. By examining long-term observations (20 years) of the upper ocean and sea ice properties you will identify feedback processes and determine the contribution of sea ice to upper ocean exchange processes of salt and fresh water. The observations primarily stem from ice-tethered, drifting measurement platforms (“buoys”), ships and moorings. Using satellite data, reanalysis products and output from numerical models will extend the analysis in space and time. A synthesis and comparison with other studies will distinguish regional components of Arctic change and their exchange with lower latitudes. This position is part of a collaborative project with the University of Bremen. Your Tasks <ul><li>Processing and synthesis of water temperature, salinity, velocity, and sea ice data</li><li>Analysis of observations and model output using oceanographic theory</li><li>Combining data from different platforms, distributed in space and time, and upscaling results</li><li>Using output from other research to distinguish regional components of change</li><li>Presentation of the results at conferences and publication in scientific journals</li><li>Participation in research expeditions to deploy instruments and obtain measurements</li></ul> Your Profile <ul><li>Master's degree or equivalent in physical oceanography or environmental science</li><li>Good understanding of ocean dynamics and ocean observation</li><li>Willingness to join oceanographic research expeditions to the polar regions and collaborate with colleagues as part of a team</li><li>Good programming skills in a high-level programming language (e.g. MATLAB, Python)</li><li>Good command of English (approximately equivalent to CEFR level B2)</li><li>Experience in marine/polar field work, and experience using satellite, reanalysis, or model products are considered assets</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>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.

Postdoc - Systems Neuroscience / Computational Neurology

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description:<h1>Postdoc - Systems Neuroscience / Computational Neurology</h1>Researchers at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine - Cognitive Neuroscience (INM-3; headed by Prof. Gereon Fink) – at the Forschungszentrum Jülich investigate the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive (dys-)function in healthy subjects and patients suffering from neurological and psychiatric disorders. Functional imaging (PET, MRI) and electrophysiological methods (EEG, TMS, tDCS) are combined with computational approaches.<h2>Your Job</h2>The successful candidate will investigate how neural information processing within the human motor system is impaired by (non-)pathological aging under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Silvia Daun.Compared with sensory, cognitive, or affective-emotional systems, the motor system’s output is directly quantifiable and comparable across species. When studying the neural mechanisms underlying motor control, behavioral readouts across species offer the potential to overcome one grand challenge in neuroscience: bridging the gap between molecular, cellular, and systems levels.Importantly, the motor system is affected in many, if not all, neurological and psychiatric disorders. Hence, a more comprehensive understanding of the motor system will further our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying neurological and psychiatric disorders. Likewise, neuropsychiatric diseases allow novel insights into the motor system’s (dys-)function and testing models of motor control.The successful candidate will be part of acollaborative research center(CRC1451), located at the University of Cologne, that brings together neuroscientists investigating genetic factors, cellular and synaptic as well as systems/neural network processes underlying motor control in animals and humans, in both health and neuropsychiatric diseases.
