Scientific / postdoctoral posts

Your Job:

Building on in-house fabricated devices, we have recently demonstrated the ability to shuttle electrons between gate defined quantum dots in Si/SiGe over micron-scale distances using only four different AC-voltages, independent of the distance covered arxiv.org/abs/2108.00879 . Theoretical consideration indicate good prospects for maintaining spin-coherence of the shuttled electron, which would make this approach very promising for scaling up semiconductor spin qubit devices. This position focuses on experimentally demonstrating coherent spin shuttling, shuttling-compatible high-fidelity qubit control and further ingredients for a shuttling-based architecture, using devices from academic or industrial fabrication.
Key activities can include:

• Demonstration and experimental characterization of spin coherence during shuttling
  
• Shuttling-compatible demonstration of high-fidelity qubit control

In your master thesis you will develop approaches based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) to evaluate the increasing number of patents and scientific publications. The goal is to identify both disruptive and incremental innovations for the much-needed DAC technology. The basis of the work is a classification of DAC technologies as well as their functional descriptions, which was developed in cooperation with technology experts. Based on this, a methodology will be developed and prototypically implemented to identify innovations in the field of these technologies in a large patent dataset in addition to evaluating them with respect to their relevance. In the last step, it will be discussed to what extent the developed methods can be transferred to the evaluation of scientific articles.

IBG-1 - Biotechnologie

Work placement

Your Job:

Our Modeling and Simulation Group offers an interdisciplinary and agile research environment within a dynamic and diverse group. The project is an excellent example for research at the interface of computational systems biology and mathematics/statistics with a strong attitude to open research software development. For more information visit www.fz-juelich.de/ibg/ibg-1/modsim or github.com/modsim.

Quantifying the activity of enzymes operating within the large-scale biochemical network is a fundamental challenge in Systems Bio(tech)nology. Here, the unknown parameters must be inferred from models that are incomplete and data that involve errors. For such challenges, Bayesian analysis using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) has become the gold standard.

For addressing high dimensional parameter inference problems with Bayesian statistics, powerful MCMC methods have been proposed, for example the MCMC differential evolution and the Riemann Manifold Langevin Monte Carlo methods. Because of the specific structure of the inference problems occurring in metabolic models, direct application of these MCMC algorithms is, however, not possible.

In this project, you will bring MCMC methods into the setting of metabolic flux inference and, with inspiration from existing algorithms, develop tailored MCMC algorithms. You will implement the ensuing algorithms in an existing C++ framework, validate and benchmark them with a realistic case study.

The main focus of the project can develop either more in the mathematical theory of MCMC, the implementation of code for the Jülich supercomputers (GPU/CPU), or being combined with a practical modeling project.

Your Profile:

• You are highly motivated, with an interest in probability theory, mathematics, and data science.
  
• Very good practical C++ and Python programming skills allow you to make your ideas happen.
  
• You have strong interest in curiosity-driven multidisciplinary research.

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!

We support you in your work with:

• An interesting and socially relevant topic for your thesis with future-oriented topics
  
• Ideal conditions for gaining practical experience alongside your Master studies
  
• An interdisciplinary collaboration on projects in an international, committed and collegial team
  
• Excellent technical equipment and the newest technology
  
• Qualified supervision and support

This makes it necessary to look for alternatives with good ion conduction, even in the anhydrous state. Ionic liquids, especially protic phosphonium-based ionic liquids (PPILs), are promising candidates due to their high ionic conductivity at elevated temperatures and under anhydrous conditions. With this background, we need you to electrochemically characterize PPILs under different conditions. Your tasks in detail will be:

• Determination of electrochemical and physicochemical properties of the ionic liquids with various methods: conductivity via Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), Walden plot for the determination of the proton conduction mechanism, electrochemical stability via Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV), Oxygen Solubility and Oxygen Diffusion Coefficient via Chronoamperometry (CA), thermal stability via Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-IR)

Promotion

Your Job:

The transformation of the European energy system to greenhouse gas neutrality will promote independence from fossil fuels. However, it raises the question of how to deal with emissions that cannot be avoided for technical or economic reasons. In the future, these must be captured and stored, used as raw materials, or offset by negative emissions. It can be assumed that storage and utilization sites will not be located directly at the source of emissions, which will require transport infrastructure. As part of this work, you will model spatially resolved transformation paths for the energy system in Germany and Europe and analyze the role of CO2 infrastructures in the design of energy infrastructures. Based on the findings of a related doctoral thesis, options for CO2 capture and utilization and options for negative emission will be integrated into the model. In doing so, you will explore various questions, such as: Where do remaining emissions occur and how can they be dealt with? What infrastructure is needed? What is a cost-effective design for this infrastructure and what framework conditions need to be created? To answer these questions, you will perform the following tasks:

• Identifying relevant technologies for mapping CO2 infrastructure in integrated energy system models
  
• Enhancing an existing energy system model focusing on CO2 infrastructures
  
• Analyzing the impact of CO2 on the energy systems design in Germany and Europe
  
• Active participation in scientific and public discourse (including publishing in peer-reviewed scientific journals)
  

Your Profile:

• A completed Master`s degree in the field of natural or (industrial) engineering, informatics, or a related field of study
  
• Very good knowledge of energy technology, energy economics and energy politics
  
• Initial experience in energy system modeling is advantageous
  
• Good programming skills (e.g., Python)
  
• High degree of independence and willingness to show great commitment
  
• Very reliable and conscientious work style
  
• Fluent written and spoken English and German

Your Job:

The transformation of the European energy system towards greenhouse gas neutrality is fundamentally changing our energy landscape. In the future, wind and solar power plants are expected to provide most of our electricity. Hydrogen and its derivatives are becoming increasingly important - and even during periods of low wind and sun, new, emission-free technologies and strategies are necessary to ensure a stable supply. For the European energy transition to succeed, key infrastructure measures must be implemented in a timely manner. These measures include retrofitting existing power plants and transport networks to other energy sources and expanding new infrastructure. Planners and policymakers face several challenges, including long construction and retrofitting lead times, which can be several years, and requirements for suitable locations, such as availability of cooling water or adequate space. In this thesis, you will systematically evaluate the challenges of the energy transition and derive scenarios and strategies for its successful implementation. Using existing ICE-2 energy system models, you will address questions such as: How do installation and retrofitting times impact the restructuring of energy infrastructures? What conditions regarding locations apply to different technologies, and how will the energy landscape change on the pathway to greenhouse gas neutrality? What regional effects will occur, and how can the overloading of individual regions be counteracted? Your contribution to scientific analysis:

• Further develop existing energy system models in Python to accurately map and analyze the challenges of implementing the energy transition in terms of infrastructure
  
• Identify and systematize challenges for the implementation of the European energy transition
  
• Expand existing energy system models to systematically map retrofitting measures as well as planning and construction times as time constraints in the transformation pathway
  
• Analyze the space requirements and other location-related prerequisites of central energy infrastructures, including storage facilities, power plants, and transport networks
  
• Analyze, based on scenarios, how key implementation challenges will affect the design of future energy infrastructures, focusing on regional impacts and implementation challenges
  
• Position your research in the professional community through publications in renowned journals, conference contributions, and active scientific exchange at the national and international level
  

Your Profile:

• You have successfully completed a master’s degree in natural or (industrial) engineering, computer science, or a related field

We are seeking an outstanding and highly qualified individual with strong potential to represent the field of subject-specific science education (Fachdidaktik) in both research and teaching across the full breadth of the Physics Education program at the KIT Department of Physics. The professorship will focus on physics education that is rooted in the discipline itself, and we are looking for a candidate with a corresponding background. A close connection between physics as a scientific discipline and its didactics is essential in order to align teacher training with current developments in physics and effectively transfer these into school-level instruction. The research focus of the position should therefore be on developing concepts, methods, and especially experiments for upper secondary education and university-level teaching, covering modern and scientifically rigorous topics in physics. This may include the development of novel teaching materials, experiments, digital media, and more.

In German-language teaching, the professorship will be responsible for delivering the full range of required physics education courses offered by the Department of Physics, as well as for advancing their content and format. This includes a teaching load of 4 semester hours per week (SWS), increasing to 6 SWS following a positive evaluation.

This junior-professorship is funded by the Helmut Fischer Foundation and is embedded within the KIT Department of Physics. The successful candidate will be responsible for the discipline-specific didactics training of students in the physics teacher education programs for secondary schools. In addition, involvement in the discipline-specific education of these students and participation in continuing education for secondary school physics teachers is expected.

Collaboration with didactics professors in other disciplines at KIT, as well as with teacher training institutions in the region, is encouraged.

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.

Diploma & Master Thesis

Master’s Thesis position in B cell Immunology (f/m/x)

102779

Full time
39 hrs./week

Neuherberg near Munich

At Helmholtz Munich, we develop groundbreaking solutions for a healthier society in a rapidly changing world. We believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation. Through strong partnerships, we accelerate the transfer of new ideas from the lab to real-life applications, improving lives.

B-cell responses are essential for humoral immunity against pathogens because they lead to the generation of antibody-secreting cells that produce large amounts of antigen-specific antibodies. These cells also have the potential to become quiescent and long-lived, which is fundamental for immunological memory against pathogens. B-cell responses are also key mediators of diseases, such as allergies, antibody-mediated autoimmunity, and malignancies.

Our Group

at the Institute of Allergy Research (IAF)

/Center for Allergy and Environment (ZAUM) at Helmholtz and the Technical University of Munich focuses on studying the processes of B lymphocyte activation and differentiation into effector B cells, such as antibody-secreting cells and memory B cells. We are seeking a highly motivated Master’s student (f/m/x) to join our research team for a thesis project.

Your tasks

The lab has previously established an in vivo model system for pooled single-guide RNA (sgRNA) CRISPR/Cas9 screening, which has led to the identification of several novel regulators of B cell-mediated responses. Building on this expertise, the student’s project will focus on developing new CRISPR/Cas9 screening systems to uncover regulators of effector B cells in mouse models of type 2 immunity and allergic responses.

Your profile

• Practical scientific experience and a strong theoretical background in fields such as immunology, genetics, epigenetics, molecular biology or biochemistry.
• An interest in research using mice as animal models.
• A high degree of scientific curiosity, creativity, flexibility, and enthusiasm for working in an interdisciplinary and international team.

This position has a fixed term, depending on the requirements of your study program.

What we offer:

• Work-Life-Balance Flexible working hours and flexi-time models

The position is suitable for part-time employment.

The human gut microbiome is a complex and dynamic ecosystem comprising trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses and fungi. It plays a vital role in maintaining health by contributing to digestion, regulating the immune system, and protecting against pathogens. Disruptions to this microbial balance, known as dysbiosis, are associated with various diseases, including infections, inflammatory conditions and metabolic disorders.

One group of opportunistic pathogens that can thrive during gut dysbiosis are various Klebsiella species. These bacteria can colonize the gut without causing symptoms, but they can also cause severe infections, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems or following antibiotic treatment. Some Klebsiella strains produce cytotoxins or carry antibiotic resistance genes, making them a growing concern in hospital and community settings alike. Bacteriophage therapy, which employs viruses that specifically infect bacteria, is a promising alternative to antibiotics for treating Klebsiella infections. Phages can target pathogenic strains with high specificity while sparing the beneficial microbiota. In the context of the gut, phage therapy may help to restore microbial balance by selectively eliminating harmful bacteria. This offers a precise way of managing infections and reducing reliance on broad-spectrum antibiotics.
