Postdoc - Emerging Urban Emissions and their Impact on Atmospheric Composition

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description:Your Job:Urban aerosol particles pose one of the greatest global risks to human health. A substantial fraction of these particles is secondary – formed through atmospheric reactions of emitted trace gases. While motor vehicle emissions have been reduced through regulation, attention is shifting to understudied sources such as volatile chemical products (VCPs) and cooking emissions, which are now emerging as key precursors to ozone and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in urban areas. CHANEL aims to identify the key volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that lead to SOA and ozone pollution.

Collaborative Doctoral Project (PhD Position) - AI-guided design of scaffold-free DNA nanostructures

Work group:IBI-4 - Biomakromolekulare Systeme und Prozesse Area of research:Promotion Job description:Your Job:The field of structural DNA nanotechnology holds a great promise for the realization of all-DNA building blocks with arbitrary complexity and shape at the sub-nanometer scale. Such structures can be used to construct artificial cell mimics and new materials. A scaffold-free DNA tile assembly is a programmable method for the formation of two- and three-dimensional DNA structures which self-assemble from a number of interacting single-stranded DNA molecules. An accurate prediction of DNA structures still remains difficult, which significantly slows down the development of new desirable nano-structures. In this project, we will combine numerical models, experiments, and artificial intelligence (AI) to guide the design of specific DNA nanoconstructs. The primary goal is to build an AI-based digital twin, which can predict the assortment and sequence of two-dimensional all-DNA motifs required for the engineering desired tessellation patterns at the nanometer scale. We will use available DNA thermodynamic database, coarse-grained simulations of DNA motifs, and existing experimental data to establish an AI model that is able to guide the construction of desired secondary structures. Experimental validation of the established AI model is also expected to be a part of this project. Specifically, your tasks will be: <ul><li> Running numerical simulations to generate training data </li><li> Building transformer-like AI models which can predict DNA structures </li><li> Performing experiments for validation </li><li> Participation in conferences in Germany and abroad (incl. presenting your research results) </li><li> Preparing scientific publications and project reports</li></ul>Your Profile:<ul><li> Strong motivation for an interdisciplinary project that combines numerical models, experiments, and artificial intelligence </li><li> A master`s degree or diploma in physics, applied mathematics, or a relevant engineering discipline </li><li> Good programming skills and experience with numerical modeling </li><li> Interest in performing experiments </li><li> Excellent written and spoken English skills </li><li> High degree of independence and commitment </li><li> Experience with machine learning and high-performance computing is advantageous, but not necessary</li></ul>Our Offer: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 in cellular dynamics of photosymbiosis (m/f/d)

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description:Postdoc in cellular dynamics of photosymbiosis (m/f/d) Background This position is part of the ERC-funded project PhagoPhoRe, which aims to uncover the cellular and molecular mechanisms underpinning the establishment and maintenance of photosymbiosis in marine organisms. You will contribute to a central goal of the project: understanding how host cells recognize, integrate, and regulate photosynthetic symbionts at single-cell resolution. Using advanced transcriptomic and spatial profiling approaches, this research will provide critical insight into how symbiotic interactions are orchestrated at the cellular level and how their breakdown contributes to symbiosis collapse under environmental stress. To pursue these questions, we are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the newly established photosymbiosis focus group at the HIFMB in Oldenburg, Germany. Your Tasks The aim of this postdoctoral position is to use genomic tools—particularly single-cell and/or spatial transcriptomics—to dissect the molecular processes governing the establishment, maintenance, and breakdown of photosymbiosis in cnidarian hosts. You will generate and analyze high-resolution transcriptomic data to compare host cells and tissues that harbor either functional algal symbionts or inert plastic beads, under both control and heat stress conditions. This experimental design will allow you to identify symbiosis-specific regulatory cascades, disentangle host responses to symbiont presence versus foreign particles, and pinpoint molecular signatures associated with symbiosis stability and collapse. You will work closely with other team members generating physiological, imaging, and experimental data to integrate findings across cellular, molecular, and functional levels. Your Profile <ul><li>Ph.D. in molecular biology, bioinformatics, systems biology, marine biology, or a related field</li><li>Demonstrated proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python or R)</li><li>Strong organizational skills </li><li>Good English knowledge (approximately equivalent to CEFR level B1+B2)</li></ul> Preferred Qualifications and Skills <ul><li>Expertise in single-cell sequencing, with a strong background in the generation, processing, and integrative analysis of high-dimensional transcriptomic data</li><li>Demonstrated experience in developing and applying custom bioinformatic pipelines</li><li>Familiarity with molecular and cellular biology techniques, as well as a willingness to work with emerging model systems in photosymbiosis</li></ul> Further Information The AWI is characterized by The AWI is characterized by <ul><li>our scientific success - excellent research</li><li> collaboration and cooperation - intra-institute, national and international, interdisciplinary</li><li> opportunities to develop – on the job and towards other positions</li><li>an international environment – everyday contact with people from all over the world</li><li>flexible working hours</li><li>health promotion and company fitness with Hansefit and Wellhub</li><li> support services and a culture of reconciling work and family</li><li>occupational pension provision (VBL)</li></ul> 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, physical abilities, neurodivergence, sexual orientation, and other identities. Applicants with disabilities will be given preference when equal qualifications are present. AWI fosters work-family compatibility in various ways and has received several awards as a result of this commitment. And as a new international member of our team, you can be sure that we will help you settle in. Our Family Office and International Office will be glad to support you, even before you start at AWI.

PhD Student (f/m/d) in Ion Irradiation and Materials Characterization of Novel Additively Manufactured Materials for Fusion Applications / Completed university degree (Master’s or Diploma) in Materials Science, Physics, Materials …

Area of research:Promotion Part-Time Suitability:The position is suitable for part-time employment. Starting date:01.12.2025 Job description:<h1>PhD Student (f/m/d) in Ion Irradiation and Materials Characterization of Novel Additively Manufactured Materials for Fusion Applications</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) in Ion Irradiation and Materials Characterization of Novel Additively Manufactured Materials for Fusion Applications. Recruitment is subject to final approval by the project sponsor.Structural materials in future fusion reactors must withstand extreme conditions, especially high neutron fluxes. Existing materials only partially meet the associated requirements such as irradiation resistance, high-temperature strength, and low activation.Within the scope of an interdisciplinary research project, the suitability of novel, consortium-developed and innovatively manufactured material candidates, particularly high-entropy alloys (HEAs), for use in fusion applications is investigated. To this end, ion irradiations with iron (Fe) and helium (He) ions are applied to experimentally emulate fusion-specific damage phenomena such as hardening, swelling, and embrittlement.A particular focus is on developing methods to transfer ion-induced damage results to neutron-induced damage scenarios and accelerating material development cycles. The findings provide not only a scientifically sound assessment of the irradiation resistance of innovative materials but also directly feed into the consortium’s utilization plan involving industrial partners. The developed methods are also transferable to other material systems, thus laying the foundation for more efficient development processes in energy technology and related technological fields.<h2>Your tasks</h2># Planning, conducting, and evaluating ion irradiation experiments on newly developed material candidates # Planning and conducting thermal aging experiments # Characterization of materials in the initial state and after irradiation/aging using analytical (scanning) transmission electron microscopy (TEM/STEM), nanoindentation, and complementary microstructural and mechanical analysis methods # Comparative evaluation of innovative materials with reference materials # Literature research and evaluation of the current state of research # Independent concept development and experimental validation # Documentation, analysis, and scientific publication of results (publications, conferences, dissertation) <h2>Your profile</h2># University degree (Master’s or Diploma) in 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 radiation-induced effects (e.g., hardening, swelling, embrittlement) # Basic knowledge of transmission electron microscopy (TEM/STEM) and/or nanoindentation is an advantage # Knowledge of defects, phase transformations, and activation/decay behavior desirable # Ability to work in a team within an interdisciplinary consortium # Independent, structured, and solution-oriented working style # Willingness to communicate and collaborate with partner institutions # Enthusiasm for tackling challenging and complex scientific questions # Proficient in scientific software (e.g., Gatan DigitalMicrograph, Python, Origin, Matlab, SRIM/TRIM) # Basic knowledge of scientific data analysis and statistical evaluation # Good command of MS Office and reference management tools (e.g., Zotero, EndNote) # Excellent written and spoken English skills, German skills desired # Scientific curiosity, openness to new topics, and willingness to develop professionally # Willingness to present research results at national and international conferences <h2>Our offer</h2># A vibrant research community in an open, diverse and international work environment # Participation in a pioneering and societally highly relevant research field # Access to state-of-the-art infrastructure: ion irradiation facilities, electron microscopy analytics, materials testing, hot cells # Individual scientific supervision and active collaboration in a well-networked project consortium # Possibility for international visibility through presentations and publications # 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) # 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.

The network aims to provide Advanced Research Training for Additive Manufacturing of the Biomaterials and Tissues of the Future. You will be one of 17 doctoral students across the entire network, and one of 3 doctoral candidates based at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon. Your tasks You focus on developing your PhD project In silico optimization of PBF-LB manufactured Mg alloys. There is a plethora of studies on the processing, mechanical and corrosion properties of Mg-based alloys, mostly limited to the alloys produced via traditional casting, extrusion and forging. Reports on rationalisation of processing-structure-property relationships (PSPR) additively manufactured (PBF-LB) Mg alloys are still scarce. In the meantime, the variation of processing parameters (laser power, spot size, hatch distance, scanning speed, layer thickness, scan strategy and subsequent heat-treatment) has a significant effect on the microstructure (grain size, alloying elements distribution, crystallographic texture), mechanical properties (hardness, yield and tensile strength) and corrosion profile (rate and localization). This work focuses on machine learning assisted PSPR optimization of recently developed lean Mg-0.1Ca alloy produced by PBF-LB. After identification of the most relevant parameters adopting a design of experiments strategy, a probabilistic (e.g. Gaussian Process Regression) model to describe the relationship between process parameters and material properties will be developed and subsequently exposed to Bayesian optimization to find the optimal set of parameters that improve process performance and material quality. Secondly, different machine learning strategies based on traditional supervised learning techniques (e.g. random forest (RF), artificial neural network (ANN)) will be applied using the parameters of strongest influence on the target properties. Moreover, the obtained data will be fed into a generative pre-trained transformer model (e.g. ChatGPT) to probe the potential of in-context learning for process optimization. The robustness of the model is assessed by experimental validation. The objectives are i) to produce Mg-0.1Ca alloy at varying PBF-LB fabrication process parameters (at Uppsala University), collect experimental data on microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties; ii) determine, using sensitivity analysis, impact of the individual process parameters on the target properties and develop predictive machine learning model; iii) based on the machine learning algorithms, develop PBF-LB Mg alloy with defined microstructure, improved mechanical and corrosion properties.

The network aims to provide Advanced Research Training for Additive Manufacturing of the Biomaterials and Tissues of the Future. You will be one of 17 doctoral students across the entire network, and one of 3 doctoral candidates based at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon. Your tasks You focus on developing your PhD project Unravelling the high reactivity of PBF-LB manufactured Mg and Zn alloys. Additively manufactured (e.g. by PBF-LB) Mg alloys are often reported to possess higher degradation rates compared to extruded or cast counterparts. Similar effect albeit of lesser extent has been reported for Zn. This is against common expectation that the finer microstructures formed by PBF-LB result in slower degradation. Several explanations proposed so far do not clarify all observed nuances. This project focuses on unravelling the origin of the elevated corrosion rates of AM-built Mg- and Zn-alloys. The work will revolve around micro- and nanoscopic visualization of initial micro-galvanic activity upon metal contact with an aqueous electrolyte. For this, in situ SEM and in situ TEM will be used at HEREON. This will be accompanied by EBSD for ex situ microstructure characterization, X-ray micro- and nano-tomography at DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron / German Electron Synchrotron) and Scanning Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (SKPFM) for visualising the distribution of cathodic phases in bulk and on plane, along with integral and localized electrochemical measurements for degradation performance. A range of Mg and Zn-alloys will be produced at Uppsala University in cooperation with doctoral candidates there, to reveal process-performance correlations and suggest the strategies for reducing corresponding degradation rates. The best performing alloys will be tested in vitro at Hydrumedical using in house developed flow-through system. The objectives of this work are: i) to unveil the driving force of the micro-galvanic corrosion onset; ii) propose several approaches to reduce the micro-galvanic corrosion; iii) experimentally validate most practical approaches.

The operating conditions foreseen for future reactor designs (Generation IV) – particularly high temperatures and high neutron fluences – impose extreme demands on structural materials. Within the framework of an interdisciplinary collaborative project, we are working on the development and investigation of novel refractory high-entropy alloys (HEAs) as potential candidate materials for highly loaded, neutron-exposed components in nuclear reactors.High-entropy alloys have shown promising mechanical, thermo-mechanical, and corrosion-resistant properties. Their complex chemical composition offers a unique potential for exceptional radiation tolerance, making them attractive for high-temperature nuclear applications.The project aims to provide fundamental insights into the radiation tolerance of these novel materials and to enable a knowledge-based assessment of their suitability for future nuclear systems. At the same time, the successful candidate will contribute to maintaining national expertise in nuclear materials research beyond the phase-out of nuclear energy in Germany.<h2>Your tasks</h2># Planning, conducting, and evaluating ion irradiation experiments # Performing thermal ageing experiments # Characterization of materials in the initial state and after irradiation/ageing using (scanning) transmission electron microscopy (TEM/STEM), nanoindentation, and complementary microstructural and mechanical analysis techniques # Conducting literature reviews and evaluating the current state of research # Independent development and validation of experimental concepts # Preparation and dissemination of research results through: Peer-reviewed publications, Conference contributions (national and international), PhD thesis <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 microstructural and mechanical characterization of materials, ideally with experience in TEM/STEM and nanoindentation # Interest in or initial experience with ion irradiation # Good understanding of crystal defects and their impact on material properties # Basic knowledge of radiation-induced damage mechanisms in metals is an advantage # Strong team spirit and willingness to collaborate within an interdisciplinary research consortium # Independent, structured, and solution-oriented working style # High level of scientific curiosity, openness to new topics, and willingness to develop professionally # Willingness to actively communicate and collaborate with project partners # Motivation to engage with challenging and complex scientific questions # Proficient use of scientific software (e.g., Gatan DigitalMicrograph, Python, Origin, Matlab) # Basic knowledge of scientific data analysis and statistical evaluation # Good knowledge of MS Office and reference management tools (e.g., Zotero, EndNote) # Excellent written and spoken German or English skills # Willingness to present research results at national and international conferences <h2>Our offer</h2># Participation in a highly relevant and internationally visible research field # Access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure (ion beam center, electron microscopy, mechanical testing, hot-cell labs) # Intensive scientific supervision and interdisciplinary collaboration within the project consortium # Opportunity to pursue a PhD in cooperation with a German university # 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) # 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.

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description:As a member of the Helmholtz Association, the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, based in Braunschweig, conducts top-level research in the field of infectious diseases. Our scientists develop novel methods and strategies to fight infectious diseases faster and more effectively. Our common goal is to develop novel approaches for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. Our research focuses on bacterial and viral pathogens, their interaction with the human immune system and new effective substances and vaccines. Information about the working group:Our research in Dr. Herhaus's junior scientist group focuses on cell homeostasis and intrinsic and extrinsic cell immunity in pathogen infections. We are interested in deciphering mechanisms of innate immunity that are regulated, for example, by autophagy, using cell culture techniques and mouse models. We are associated with the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center 1177 on selective autophagy (www.sfb1177.de). In addition, we aim to better understand cell-cell communication via extracellular vesicles and their influence on immune regeneration. We are looking for support for our project to decipher the molecular mechanisms by which pathogens use cellular membranes and organelles, especially their contact points, for the spread and survival of pathogens. We also offer the opportunity to work on exciting projects in a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary, and international team, embedded in the excellent scientific environment at the HZI with direct access to state-of-the-art technological facilities.This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers.

Doctoral Researcher: “Remodeling of protein complexes during RNA phage infection” (f/m/d)

Area of research:Promotion Part-Time Suitability:The position is suitable for part-time employment. Job description:The Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) is the first institution of its kind worldwide to combine ribonucleic acid (RNA) research with infection biology. Based on novel findings from our strong basic research program, our long-term goal is to develop innovative therapeutic approaches to better diagnose and treat human infections. HIRI is a site of the Braunschweig Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in cooperation with the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) and is located on the Würzburg Medical Campus.Phages are viruses that specifically infect bacteria. They are important sources of biotechnological tools and can further be used to combat bacterial infections, thus having the potential to help overcome the ongoing crisis of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Research in the Hör lab focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of phages with RNA genomes during infection, host takeover, and anti-phage defense. Due to their comparably small genomes, RNA phages must co-opt bacterial host factors to successfully replicate. While some of these interactions have been identified, it remains elusive how infection by RNA phages remodels cellular protein complexes at the global level. 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.

Research in the Hör lab focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of phages with RNA genomes during infection, host takeover, and anti-phage defense. Bacteria use so-called defense systems to protect themselves against phage infection. Until recently, only three major classes of defense systems were known. Over the last five years, however, more than a hundred new defense systems have been discovered, many of which are the evolutionary origins of human innate immune systems. Despite these tremendous successes, little is known about how bacteria defend themselves against RNA phages. This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers.

Postdoc Position - Global Modelling of Light Absorbing Carbon

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description:Your Job:Light absorbing carbon (LAC) comprise organic compounds which affect climate by efficiently absorbing light in aerosols. Its main atmospheric source, both direct and indirect, is the combustion of a variety of fuels. LAC is made of black and brown carbon. The latter comprises a plethora of toxic, typically aromatic, compounds. Their modelling has been so far highly simplified and its impact on climate has not been assessed by the IPCC yet. Within the ACTUATE project, the impact of LAC on past and future extreme events will be investigated. The work will build upon the storyline simulations of air pollution recently developed in the Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy). In this framework the role of black and brown carbon for land-atmosphere and aerosol-cloud interactions will be studied by using the supercomputers available in Jülich. The final goal of the procjet is to investigate emission reduction strategies aimed at mitigating regional climate change while still ensuring a reduction of the air pollution burden. The core tasks of the successful applicant will be: <ul><li> Refine the model representation of LAC emissions, chemistry and optical properties </li><li> Assess the role of LAC on extreme events and pollution </li><li> Explore climate change mitigation scenarios </li></ul> PROJECTS ACTUATE: <a href="https://earthenvironment.helmholtz.de/changing-earth/innopool-projects/" target="_blank">earthenvironment.helmholtz.de/changing-earth/innopool-projects/</a> MESSy : www.messy-interface.orgYour Profile:<ul><li> A Masters degree with subsequent PhD in chemistry, physics, environmental science, atmospheric science, meteorology, or a related discipline </li><li> Strong software skills and good knowledge of the programming languages Fortran and Python. </li><li> Experience in modelling atmospheric aerosols on supercomputers </li><li> Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken </li><li> Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team </li></ul> Our Offer: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 (d/f/m)

Area of research:Scientific / postdoctoral posts Job description:Postdoc for marine molecular chronobiology (d/f/m) Background The position will be localized 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 North Atlantic key 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 synchronize clocks and clocks affect migration behavior, this creates a chicken-and-egg paradox. We want to find out 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</li><li>Development of a microinjection protocol for subsequent applications of functional genetic tools, such as CRISPR-based target mutagenesis, as well as a genotyping protocol to identify generated mutants </li><li>Initial characterization of Calanus animals with alterations in core circadian clock function</li><li>Supervision of students and participation in teaching activities</li></ul> Your Profile <ul><li>PhD in either molecular biology, biotechnology, genetics or related areas</li><li>Experience with cell culture work</li><li>Experience with molecular work (e.g. cloning, sequence analysis, gene editing)</li><li>Motivation to familiarize yourself with 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 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 The AWI is characterized by The AWI is characterized by <ul><li>Our scientific success - excellent research</li><li>Collaboration and cooperation - intra-institute, national and international, interdisciplinary</li><li>Opportunities to develop – on the job and towards other positions</li><li>An international environment – everyday contact with people from all over the world</li><li>Flexible working hours</li><li>Health promotion and company fitness with Hansefit and Wellhub</li><li>Support services and a culture of reconciling work and family</li><li>Occupational pension provision (VBL)</li></ul> 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, physical abilities, neurodivergence, sexual orientation, and other identities. Applicants with disabilities will be given preference when equal qualifications are present. AWI fosters work-family compatibility in various ways and has received several awards as a result of this commitment.
