Job description:PhD position in Deep Learning for Multi-Decadal Remote Sensing of Arctic Lake Changes (m/f/d/x) Background Arctic permafrost soils contain the largest terrestrial pool of organic carbon (C). Rapid thaw of ice-rich permafrost quickly mobilizes permafrost carbon on short time scales. A large uncertainty persists in projections of C release from abrupt permafrost thaw and climate feedback estimates. Key challenges include assessing permafrost thaw rates under diverse and changing environmental conditions on a panarctic scale, analyzing impacts of varied thaw processes on the heterogeneous permafrost C stock, integrating and scaling such dynamics using process models, and projecting future permafrost C trajectories, climate feedbacks, and remaining C budgets with Earth System Models. PeTCaT, a new international 5-year research endeavor funded by Schmidt Sciences within their Virtual Institute of Carbon Cycle (VICC) program, brings together partners from Germany, Canada, USA, Sweden, and The Netherlands, and will tackle these challenges by combining expertise on permafrost, soil C and GHG biogeochemistry, remote sensing, process modeling, and global climate modeling. We will address soil carbon and ground ice stocks, rapid thaw process dynamics, the reactivity of rapidly thawing organic C, the consequences for greenhouse gas fluxes, and the global consequences. At AWI, you will work in a team consisting of senior scientists, PostDocs, as well as another PhD student hired through PeTCaT.

The most accurate mass measurements are achieved with individual, highly charged ions in a Penning trap, where relative accuracies of 10-12 are achieved. Such measurements are used in the search for new physics (Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 063002 (2025)), determining the neutrino mass (Nature Physics 20, 921–927 (2024)), and determining excited states in the atomic shell (Nature 581, 42–46 (2020)).However, high-precision mass measurements have so far been limited to light and medium-heavy ions or medium charge states. A Helmholtz Investigator Group has therefore been established at the Helmholtz Institute Jena, with an experimental site at GSI in Darmstadt, to extend this technology to the heaviest ions in the highest charge states and, among other applications, perform precise tests of quantum electrodynamics in strong fields. At GSI, such ions can be generated using the heavy ion accelerator and, after a deceleration process, made available for ion trap experiments – a worldwide unique combination of experimental infrastructure.

PhD position on physics-based machine learning modeling for materials and process design

Work group:Institute of Materials and Process Design Area of research:PHD Thesis Part-Time Suitability:The position is suitable for part-time employment. Starting date:27.03.2026 Job description:PhD position on physics-based machine learning modeling for materials and process design Reference code: 2026/WD 1 Commencement date: 02.03.2026 Work location: Geesthacht Application deadline: April 26th, 2026 The Institute of Material and Process Design at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon is offering a 4?year PhD position in the area of machine learning and computer simulations. The focus of the PhD project will lie on developing machine learning models for clustering, classification, regression and reinforcement tasks to work with, enhance or replace established methods from computational engineering and computer simulation (such as the finite element method and constitutive materials models) to represent and exploit relationships along the composition-process-structure-property-performance chain; therefore, enable stability and control of novel manufacturing processes as well as achieving desired properties within materials science and engineering. Use cases will be defined within different manufacturing techniques of lightweight structures to enable novel development of materials and process design. The PhD position will be supervised by Prof. Noomane Ben Khalifa (Hereon/??Leuphana University Lu?neburg) and supported by Dr.?Ing. Frederic Bock (Hereon). The objective is to combine computer simulations and machine learning models to extend their compatibility with problems from mechanical engineering and materials research that could not be addressed so far due to their high complexity, which prevents approaches that solely rely on classical mechanistic modeling or classical machine learning.

PhD Position - Denoising Methods for Dual-Tracer PET Imaging

Area of research:PHD Thesis Job description:<h1>PhD Position - Denoising Methods for Dual-Tracer PET Imaging</h1>Positron emission tomography (PET) is often used to diagnose neurological diseases. Before PET imaging, a radiotracer is injected into the patient to display metabolic processes in the body. At the Institute for Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-4), we are developing an innovative reconstruction algorithm and methods to correct factors impacting the quantitative accuracy of PET images. Our recent research has focused on dual-tracer PET imaging, in which two radiotracers are injected simultaneously, enabling two metabolic processes to be displayed at once. Dual-tracer PET imaging can provide new insights into neurological diseases. During image reconstruction, the signals of both tracers are separated. One challenge with dual-tracer PET is that the reconstructed images contain significant noise. As a doctoral researcher at our institute, you will develop and implement a new algorithm to reduce noise in dual-tracer PET imaging and improve the quantitative accuracy of dual-tracer PET scans.<h3>Your Job</h3><ul><li>Simulation of PET data using existing simulation packages.</li><li>Development of denoising algorithms and incorporation into PET image reconstruction</li><li>Data and image analysis.</li><li>Writing scientific publications and participating in international conferences.</li><li>Developing professional algorithm coding in C++, supported by specialised training (e.g. C++ courses).</li></ul><h3>Your Profile</h3><ul><li>Master's degree in Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics or a related discipline</li><li>Object-oriented programming skills (ideally in Python and C++)</li><li>Excellent mathematical and data analytics skills</li><li>Ability to work independently and be self-motivated, but also have excellent teamwork skills</li><li>Experience in medical image processing is advantageous</li><li>Experience in C++ programming is advantageous</li><li>Fluency in English (spoken and written)</li></ul><h3>Our Benefits for You</h3>We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change!

Doctoral student

Work group:Institute of Materials Physics Area of research:PHD Thesis Starting date:02.04.2026 Job description:Doctoral student 'ElectronsMatter' Reference code: 982 ? 2026/WP 2 Work location: Hamburg Application deadline: May 10th, 2026 Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon operates an outstation at DESY in Hamburg to provide access to highly brilliant synchrotron radiation within its German Engineering Materials Science Centre (GEMS). At the PETRA III synchrotron radiation source, Hereon jointly operates the High Energy Materials Science Beamline (P07/HEMS), the White Beam Engineering Materials Science Beamline (P61A/WINE), the lmaging Beamline (P05/IBL), and the Nanofocus Endstation of Micro- and Nanofocus X?ray Scattering Beamline (P03/MINAXS), along with supporting laboratories. The techniques offered at our diffraction beamlines have a strong focus on engineering materials science. The Doctoral Network 'ElectronsMatter', funded by the Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Action (MSCA) of the EU, addresses critical challenges in the additive manufacturing (AM) of tungsten and tungsten alloys, a field crucial for advancing applications in energy, aerospace, and green technologies. Tungsten, with its exceptional properties such as the highest melting point of all metals and excellent resistance to wear and corrosion, is ideal for extreme environments. However, its high melting temperature and brittleness make it difficult to process using conventional methods, limiting its industrial use. This project leverages electron beam powder bed fusion (PBF-EB), an AM technology with unique capabilities for processing refractory materials like tungsten. Several institutions have joined together through 'ElectronsMatter' to investigate different aspects of Tungsten PBF-EB. At Hereon, the focus is on using high-energy synchrotron X-rays to investigate the transient behaviours happening during the process, for example, regarding molten pool shape and motion dynamics, or stress evolution during the build process. The PBF-EB sample environment 'MiniMelt', provided by network partners from KTH Stockholm, is used for in-situ AM experiments in the X-ray beam. For this research within the European network, we are looking for a doctoral student doing experimental investigations at the Hereon outstation at DESY in Hamburg. You will work with the MiniMelt sample environment during in-situ experiments as well as experiments in the lab. You will contribute to the development of simultaneous radiography and diffraction measurement techniques with X-rays, allowing imaging of and diffraction information from the same volume. You will work together with other students in the network and take part in training activities. You will be supervised by Prof. Martin MÃ¼ller (Christian-Albrechts-UniversitÃ¤t zu Kiel) and Dr. Guilherme Abreu Faria. The appointment is full-time and initially limited to three years. The salary is determined by the EU living allowance (4,058 ? per month) plus an additional mobility allowance (710 ? per month) and, if applicable, a family allowance (660 ? per month). These are gross figures and include taxes and social security contributions. The position is full-time (39 hours/week) and initially limited to three years.

PhD Position – Role of Topology on Polymer Dynamics in Rings and Their Blends – Synthesis and Neutron Scattering Study

Area of research:PHD Thesis Job description:<h1>PhD Position – Role of Topology on Polymer Dynamics in Rings and Their Blends – Synthesis and Neutron Scattering Study</h1>Ring polymers are macromolecules with one key distinguishing feature: they have no ends. This seemingly trivial fact has significant consequences for molecular conformation, dynamics and material properties. This highly interdisciplinary PhD project involves synthesising ring polymers and studying them systematically using a combination of neutron scattering and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods. During the initial stage, you will synthesise ring polymers using anionic polymerisation techniques. You will also develop new linking chemistries and purification processes. The physics part of the project will focus on the structure and dynamics of ring polymers in different topological environments, providing experimental evidence for phenomena predicted by theory and computer simulations. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) will be employed to examine the conformation of ring molecules in various topological environment. Neutron spin echo (NSE) spectroscopy will be employed to examine the dynamic properties of the rings at the chain level. The results of this research are important in biology and materials science, where topology plays a significant role. This project is supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and involves collaborating with TU Ilmenau to perform NMR measurements on the same systems.<h3>Your Job</h3><ul><li>Synthesis of polymer rings</li><li>Characterization of the polymer rings</li><li>Performing the neutron scattering experiment and data analysis</li></ul><h3>Your Profile</h3><ul><li>Master's degree in chemistry, physics, or related fields</li><li>Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a team are essential</li><li>Very good command of written and spoken English will be required for the international working environment (at least B2 level according to the CEFR: <a href="https://go.fzj.de/languagerequirements" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">go.fzj.de/languagerequirements</a></li></ul>), ideally supported by a certificate confirming the language level<h3>Our Benefits for You</h3>We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change!

Starting date:01.06.2026 Job description:<h1>PhD Student (f/m/d) to work on the Development and Evaluation of Image Reconstruction Methods for Simultaneous Clinical Dual-Tracer PET Imaging</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.At the Institute of Radiopharmaceutical Cancer Research scientists (f/m/d) from the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacy, immunology, medicine and IT develop innovative radiopharmaceuticals and novel tools for the functional characterization, improved imaging and personalized treatment of tumors.The Department of Positron Emission Tomography is looking for a PhD Student (f/m/d) to work on the Development and Evaluation of Image Reconstruction Methods for Simultaneous Clinical Dual-Tracer PET Imaging. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a cornerstone of today’s cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, and response assessment. By administering specific radiotracers, PET enables the visualization and quantification of distinct physiological processes in the human body. However, clinical PET imaging has so far been limited to imaging the distribution of a single radiotracer per scan. In collaboration with the Forschungszentrum Jülich, the PET department at the HZDR has launched a joint research project to evaluate the potential of dual-tracer PET imaging. This innovative approach enable the separation of two simultaneously acquired radiotracers and to provide two distinct images from a single PET acquisition. Within this project, we will jointly develop, adapt and implement advanced image reconstruction algorithms in our in-house reconstruction software to evaluate the feasibility of dual-tracer imaging on clinical PET scanners. The ultimate goal of the project is to translate the developed methods towards clinical application. With the planned installation of a new total-body PET scanner in Dresden, the developed methods will also be evaluated and validated on this clinical system, enabling a direct pathway from methodological development to clinical impact.<h2>Your tasks</h2># Development of dual-tracer PET imaging methods and reconstruction algorithms in close collaboration with our scientific and clinical partners # Implementation, evaluation and finalization of the foundations of dual-tracer imaging using a GATE-based Monte Carlo simulation # Implementation of the developed algorithms within our modular, C++-based and cluster optimized PET image reconstruction framework # Validation of the developed dual-tracer PET imaging methods on clinical PET phantom data in a total-body setting # Collaborating closely with our scientific and clinical project partners throughout all project phases <h2>Your profile</h2># Completed university studies (Master/Diploma) in the field of Medical Physics, Physics, Computer Science, Medical Engineering or a closely related field with a strong interest in quantitative medical imaging # Very good programming skills in at least one object-oriented language (e.g., C++, Python) and broad understanding of common programming paradigms, including object-oriented design, template programming, and multithreaded development # Strong background in physics; good understanding of nuclear, radiation or medical physics is desirable # Knowledge of Monte Carlo simulation methods using the Geant4 framework, medical image reconstruction principles and experience with high-performance computer simulations in physics would be beneficial # Experience in working with medical imaging data, especially with PET, would be helpful # Excellent teamwork and good communication skills in an interdisciplinary research environment # Motivation and self-discipline to carry out research independently # Excellent command of spoken and written English <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) # 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.

PhD Position: Deep learning for phase-contrast synchrotron X-ray tomography

Work group:Institute of Materials Physics Area of research:PHD Thesis Part-Time Suitability:The position is suitable for part-time employment. Starting date:09.04.2026 Job description:PhD Position: Deep learning for phase-contrast synchrotron X-ray tomography Reference code: 987 - 2026/WP 1 Work location: Hamburg Application deadline: 15th April, 2026 Helmholtz Zentrum Hereon operates an outstation at DESY in Hamburg, providing access to highly brilliant synchrotron radiation through its German Engineering Materials Science Center (GEMS). At the PETRA III synchrotron radiation source, Hereon jointly operates several beamlines. Our imaging beamlines offer advanced micro- and nano-tomography techniques with a strong focus on material science and life science applications. The micro-tomography setups cover a wide energy range and offer unique phase contrast capabilities. The full-field nano-tomography setup is among the fastest worldwide due to its unique geometry and beam characteristics. Additionally, the highly coherent beam enables advanced phase contrast methods such as near-field holography. This position is limited to 3 years and starts as soon as possible. Equal opportunity is an important part of our personnel policy. We would therefore strongly encourage qualified women to apply for the position. Your tasks This PhD position is part of the ErUM-Data project CmarT, which aims to develop a novel multi-scale imaging approach at synchrotron radiation facilities, particularly PETRA III at DESY. Biological and materials science samples often exhibit hierarchical structures that determine their function. However, scanning an entire sample volume at the highest spatial resolution is not feasible. Therefore, we need an imaging scheme that captures relevant features at different length scales and integrates them into a single reconstruction volume. This PhD project focuses on learning-based phase retrieval in the weak holographic regime, bridging the gap between micro- and nano-tomography. While propagation-based phase-contrast imaging enhances visualization of soft tissues and weakly attenuating samples, phase retrieval in this regime remains challenging, limiting multiscale imaging approaches in near-field holotomography. To address this, the PhD project combines machine learning, high-performance computing, and synchrotron-radiation experiments. The goal is to explore physics-informed self-supervised learning approaches (e.g., deep image priors, GANs) and iterative methods, combined with multi-scale tomography and local adaptive reconstruction to overcome these challenges. Your tasks - develop physics-informed, self-supervised learning approaches for phase retrieval - implement reconstruction algorithms on HPC clusters for large-scale hierarchical tomography - apply algorithms to experimental tomographic data - collaborate closely with beamline scientists and project partners - publish and present results in international journals and conferences Your profile - Master?s degree in physics, mathematics, computer science, or a related field - strong analytical skills and solid theoretical background - experience in machine/?deep learning and image processing/?tomography - advanced programming skills in Python - excellent command of English (written and spoken) Assets: - team-oriented mindset with strong communication and organizational skills - experience with HPC clusters, parallel or distributed computing - German language skills We offer - a cutting-edge research environment at PETRA III imaging beamlines - collaboration with leading institutions in imaging, mathematics, and data science - access to high-performance computing (HPC) resources and advanced experimental setups - an exciting and varied job in a research centre with around 1,000 employees from more than 60 nations - a well-connected research campus (public transport) and best networking opportunities, subsidy for the Deutschlandticket if certain conditions are met (job ticket) - individual opportunities for further training - social benefits according to the collective agreement of the public service and remuneration up to pay group 13 according to TV EntgO Bund - an excellent technical infrastructure and modern workplace equipment - 6 weeks holiday per year; company holidays between Christmas and New Year's Day - very good compatibility of private and professional life; offers of mobile and flexible work - free assistance program for employees (EAP) - corporate benefits Severely disabled persons and those equaling severely disabled persons who are equally suitable for the position will be considered preferentially within the framework of legal requirements.
