PhD Position – 3D ion beam tomography of next-generation batteries

Area of research:PHD Thesis Job description:<h1>PhD Position – 3D ion beam tomography of next-generation batteries</h1>At the Institute of Materials and Devices - Materials Synthesis and Manufacturing Processes (IMD-2), we work in a dynamic and international team of over one hundred materials scientists, chemists, physicists, mechanical engineers and technical staff on the development of advanced energy converters and high-performance storage systems for the energy transition. In doing so, we encompass a wide range of technologies, from oxide ceramic fuel cells to solid-state batteries, thermal barrier coatings for gas turbines, and gas separation membranes. The focus of all these technologies is on inorganic materials, which are processed as functional layers from powders or via the gas phase. For this purpose, we use scalable, industry-relevant processes that ensure rapid transfer of our research results to industry. Thus, our work contributes significantly to closing the gap between basic science and application.Future battery technologies are urgently needed to make electric mobility and stationary energy storage even more affordable, safer and more efficient.Si-rich anodes are already being used in high-energy batteries and can significantly increase energy density. However, due to the high volumetric expansion of Si during charging, such cells exhibit severe cycle ageing. To improve cycle stability, research into pre-lithiation of Si-rich anodes is already being conducted on an industrial scale. However, many research questions remain unanswered, particularly regarding the distribution of Li within the anode as a function of process parameters and anode design. However, due to its low atomic number, Li cannot be detected with spatial resolution in electrodes using conventional methods.Ion beam analysis (IBA) offers a new method for quantifying Li with spatial resolution; in this technique, high-energy ions (> 2 MeV) are fired at the battery samples, triggering a nuclear fusion reaction. The resulting ions enable depth-resolved quantification of Li and other components of the anode, e.g. Si, O, F, C, etc. This information provides valuable insights into the quality and stability of the process control. By combining this with two-dimensional scanning of the ion beam across the samples, 3D atomic distributions can also be visualised, thereby revealing potential inhomogeneities both laterally and within the depth of the electrode. The aim is to use this advanced analytical technique to optimise the production of pre-lithiated anodes for future batteries.<h2>Your Job</h2>The PhD research is being carried out as part of a BMFTR consortium project on high-performance batteries, with academic and industrial partners working together on the project.Your main responsibilities will include:<ul><li>Carrying out independent measurements using the world’s first 3D Li tomography facility on battery samples (the battery beamline at the 3 MeV Tandetron ion accelerator at FZJ)</li><li>Optimising the measurement process to achieve the highest possible sensitivity, resolution and reproducibility</li><li>Measurement of various materials and battery components supplied by the project partners</li><li>Analysis of the results using specially developed, AI-based software that enables 3D reconstructions of element distribution</li><li>Complementary analysis using other advanced techniques such as SIMS, Raman, FIB-SEM, µ-CT, etc.</li><li>Compilation of the results and assessment of the influence of process parameters on Li distribution in various next-generation anode concepts</li></ul>During their PhD, the candidate will thus be able to gain knowledge of advanced analytical methods for future battery systems, as well as demonstrate their industry-relevant application for process optimisation.<h2>Your Profile</h2><ul><li>A successfully completed Master’s degree in Physics, Physical Chemistry or Materials Analysis</li><li>Very good knowledge of solid-state analysis or related analytical methods</li><li>Experience in the preparation, manufacture and production processes of inorganic materials</li><li>Knowledge of electrochemistry and/or batteries would be an advantage</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>)<ul><li>A high degree of teamwork and flexibility, as well as a willingness to show great commitment</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!

PhD-Position - Novelty Assessment of Science and Patents with LLMs

Area of research:PHD Thesis Job description:<h1>PhD-Position - Novelty Assessment of Science and Patents with LLMs</h1>The research focus of the Institute of Climate and Energy Systems - Jülich Systems Analysis (ICE-2) is the unbiased, scientific investigation of technologies, technology paths, value chains and market ramp-ups in future energy systems, considering material requirements, sector coupling and framework conditions in policy and society. The addressees are science, decision-makers from politics, industry and social actors. To answer the research questions, Jülich Systems Analysis creates complex models to analyze and evaluate technologies, infrastructures and resources for future energy systems using an open-science approach. This is done in an interdisciplinary approach that considers the interaction of energy technologies with economic, ecological and social systems and thus focuses on security of supply, economic efficiency and environmental protection. An integral part of the research work is the creation of a consistent and sustainably usable data basis in accordance with the open data principle.<h2>Your Job</h2>Background information about the project: Our team recently won theMetascience Novelty Indicator Challenge. We have been developing a method that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to analyze the content of scientific articles, alongside relevant prior work. The method assesses the novelty of contributions by reasoning about their content, rather than counting citations. You will further develop the method and apply it systematically to scientific literature and patents, focusing on technologies relevant to analyzing energy transition pathways. This will provide valuable insight into the directions in which technology and research fields are advancing.Furthermore, you will also extend the indicator beyond novelty toward quality assessment and validate the reliability, robustness, and fairness of LLM-based research indicators. The main use case for assessing the quality of publications is to improve the reliability of literature-derived data in our technology database. Ensuring the quality of this database is essential because energy system models and their results depend on it.Why It Matters: Climate and energy systems research require an up-to-date understanding of the state of research across many technologies to inform modeling assumptions. Better data on the novelty and quality of scientific contributions strengthens the research that informs decarbonization and is highly relevant to the metascience community in general. Additionally, there is a high demand from researchers, publishers, and funders for LLM-based research indicators to help them identify relevant publications amid the surge in AI-generated content.Your Tasks in Detail:<ul><li>Advance LLM-based methods for automatic novelty assessment of patents and scientific literature</li><li>Map the state of the art of scientific fields</li><li>Investigate and evaluate the approach along the dimensions of reliability, robustness, transparency, and fairness, and characterize its opportunities and limitations</li><li>Extend the indicator to further notions of research quality, using large-scale, literature-derived, technology-parameter databases as the driving use case</li><li>Apply the method to improve energy system analysis in collaboration with energy system modelers</li></ul><h2>Your Profile</h2><ul><li>Completed master's degree in a STEM field; a degree in computer science, data science, or an AI-related discipline is preferred</li><li>Strong interest in analyzing scientific literature and patents</li><li>Strong interest in energy technologies and energy systems research</li><li>Experience in LLMs and developing LLM-based methods is an advantage</li><li>Programming skills, ideally in Python</li><li>Structured, analytical, and independent working style</li><li>Reliability, attention to detail, and enjoyment of working in an interdisciplinary team</li><li>Fluent English, both written and spoken (C1/C2 level according to the CEFR</li></ul>), ideally supported by a certificate confirming the language level); German language skills are an advantagePlease feel free to apply even if you do not yet meet all the required skills and qualifications.

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.

Using model organisms and human cellular systems, a major theme of their research is the integration of epigenetic mechanisms with mitochondrial biology, revealing how changes in metabolic state and organelle function shape cellular identity, inflammatory responses, and survival. By combining genetic, biochemical, multi-omics, and cellular approaches, this research provides insights into fundamental mechanisms of biological resilience and highlights potential strategies for understanding and mitigating mitochondrial and age-related disorders.The group of Dr. Dan Ehninger focuses on understanding the molecular, physiological, and systemic mechanisms underlying biological aging and age-related decline. Using large-scale multi-omics approaches and comprehensive phenotyping in mouse models, their work investigates how aging unfolds across organs and biological systems, revealing tissue-specific and shared trajectories of transcriptomic and proteomic changes. Their research has identified key aging signatures linked to immune regulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, metabolism, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Beyond molecular profiling, they examine how interventions such as dietary modulation and putative anti-aging strategies influence functional outcomes, including reproductive behavior and age-associated phenotypes. A central theme of their work is the development of improved frameworks to distinguish effects on lifespan from genuine modulation of aging processes, emphasizing multidimensional approaches for evaluating aging mechanisms.  For further questions regarding the advertised position, please contact Dr. Daniele Bano (daniele.bano@dzne.de).

Doctoral researcher (f_m_x) - project GHOST

Area of research:PHD Thesis Job description:The GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences is one of the world's leading institutions in the field of geosciences. As part of the Helmholtz Association, Germany's largest research organisation, we address global challenges such as natural hazards, climate change and the sustainable use of resources. In doing so, we combine cutting-edge research with social relevance. Our international staff - around 1,200 employees and approx. 500 guests - work in a multidisciplinary way and with a unique infrastructure to research the dynamic processes of the Earth system. Our vision: “Taking the pulse of the Earth to safeguard a habitable planet.” For section 4.6 Geomorphology (department “Geosystems”), we are looking for a: <h3>Reference Number 11496</h3> GHOST (DFG-funded project): Loss of organic carbon in the eastern Mediterranean: investigating the elusive “ghost sapropels” and “red intervals” The GHOST project will focus on elucidating the climatic and oceanic drivers leading to the formation of the enigmatic "ghost sapropels" in Mediterranean sediments during the past 3 million years. Sapropels are organic-rich sediments preserved over geological time, including in the deepest parts of the Mediterranean Sea. Because their formation process involves complex land-ocean linkages and large-scale ocean deoxygenation, they are often considered natural laboratories for understanding the timing and drivers of such processes.  In this project, we will focus on sapropels where the organic carbon is not preserved, called "ghost sapropels". They occur synchronously in the Mediterranean basin and seem paced by Milankovitch cycles, but the driving mechanism remains elusive. This project will exploit national and international collaborations to use multiple isotopic tools and the extraction of specific sedimentary fractions at four ODP sites, as well as numerical models. Through this data-model approach, we will test a set of working hypotheses that will enable us to understand the processes leading to the lack or loss of carbon in ghost sapropels. Ultimately, we aim to assess how the lack or loss of organic carbon in ghost sapropels affected the carbon cycle. As part of this international project, your role will be to perform isotopic measurements (radiogenic Nd and Sr isotopes, stable O, C, and potentially Li isotopes) in two clean laboratories at the GFZ (Potsdam, Germany) and GEOMAR (Kiel, Germany). You will sample four ODP legacy cores stored at the national repository in Bremen and will extract specific sedimentary fractions based on the chemistry and grain-size distribution of bulk sediments for the isotopic analyses. In close collaboration with colleagues at the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement (Paris-Saclay, France), you will perform numerical experiments with the FESDIA diagenesis model to help determine the role of different parameters on the fate of organic carbon in these sediments. The dataset you generate will provide new insights into the long-term changes in hydroclimates in North Africa as well as into Mediterranean Sea paleocirculation.You will be based in the Geomorphology section at the GFZ, a vibrant and diverse group of researchers. Here, you will be exposed to a wide range of scientific methods and projects that foster curiosity and motivation and provide a collaborative and supportive scientific culture. We commit to supporting the development of early-career scientists through attentive and agile supervision. Your responsibilities:<ul><li>Perform sedimentological and geochemical analyses, including chemical extractions, grain-size measurements, and isotope ratio analyses. Purification and measurement of isotope ratios of specific elements (Sr, Nd, Li) will be realised in a class 1,000 clean laboratory using ion-exchange column chromatography and several mass spectrometers. Laboratory work will be performed at GFZ with a planned research stay at GEOMAR (Kiel, Germany)</li><li>Design and run simulations in the FESDIA model (research stay at the LSCE, France)</li><li>Assemble published data for the Mediterranean Sea as databases, acquire and manage new data to be safely stored in our internal databases and published as data publications</li><li>Liaise with partners in the project to mobilise their expertise and exchange information</li><li>Publish high-quality scientific publications and present at international conferences, under the guidance of the supervisor and project partners</li></ul> About You:Essential Qualifications: <ul><li>MSc degree in Geoscience, with a speciality in Geochemistry, Sedimentology, Palaeoceanography and/or Palaeoclimates</li><li>Good knowledge of sedimentology</li><li>Advanced level in English, both spoken and written </li><li>Willingness and capacity to travel in Europe and spend time at our partner institutes, good interpersonal and communication skills</li></ul>Desirable Qualifications:<ul><li>Experience with clean-lab techniques, column chromatography and/or MC-ICP-MS measurements</li><li>Experience with sampling and handling soft sediments</li><li>Knowledge of African palaeoclimates, Mediterranean oceanic and sedimentary environments and/or processes occurring during early diagenesis </li><li>Structured working skills and ability to receive and provide feedback</li></ul> What we offer:<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 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</li><li>Workplace within walking distance of Potsdam main train station, or just a short ride on the shuttle bus</li></ul> Start date: 1st January 2027 Fixed-term: 3 years Salary: The position is classed as salary group 13 according to “TVöD Bund ”.
