IBG-1 - Biotechnologie


Area of research:

Work placement


Job description:

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

Diploma & Master Thesis


Job description:

Your Job:

The centrepiece of PEM-FCs is the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM), which should provide sufficient ionic conductivity and mechanical stability. However, the state-of-the-art PEMs Nafion and H3PO4/PBI either require sufficient hydration for good ion conductivity or lead to catalyst poisoning. 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)
  • Electrode preparation via polishing
  • Close collaboration with internal and external cooperation partners
  • Detailed evaluation and procession of measurement data


Your Profile:

  • Enrolled in a master’s program in chemistry, physics, materials science, or a related discipline
  • Experience in practical lab work
  • Theoretical knowledge of electrochemistry and electrochemical techniques is advantageous

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. Using cutting-edge chemical ionization mass spectrometry, the project will perform field measurements across European cities, with a Zeppelin-based airborne platform capturing the “urban breath” of major population centers.

As a research scientist, you will:

  • Operate and characterize state-of-the-art mass spectrometers (PTR and NH4+ -CIMS; VOCUS) to measure urban VOCs and their oxidation products
  • Lead the deployment and measurements of VOCUS onboard the Zeppelin for airborne field campaigns over European cities
  • Perform VOC flux measurements for the 2026 Zeppelin flights and compare urban emissions to other cities as well as results from the JULIAC campaigns.
  • Work with the CHARON aerosol inlet and a FUSION CIMS to analyze the particle-phase organic composition onboard the Zeppelin from 2027 onward
  • Analyze large multi-dimensional datasets using statistical tools such as positive matrix factorization (PMF) and cluster analysis
  • Investigate the influence of different urban emission sectors on atmospheric composition
  • Present your results at international conferences and publish in peer-reviewed journals

Your Profile:

  • A Masters with subsequent PhD degree in chemistry, physics, environmental science, atmospheric science, meteorology, or a related discipline
  • Strong experimental skills; strong experience in analytical chemistry, mass spectrometry, and trace gas measurements using CIMS techniques
  • Enthusiasm for laboratory and field work
  • Strong background in programming and data analysis (preferably Python)

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:

  • Running numerical simulations to generate training data
  • Building transformer-like AI models which can predict DNA structures
  • Performing experiments for validation
  • Participation in conferences in Germany and abroad (incl. presenting your research results)
  • Preparing scientific publications and project reports

Your Profile:

  • Strong motivation for an interdisciplinary project that combines numerical models, experiments, and artificial intelligence
  • A master`s degree or diploma in physics, applied mathematics, or a relevant engineering discipline
  • Good programming skills and experience with numerical modeling
  • Interest in performing experiments
  • Excellent written and spoken English skills
  • High degree of independence and commitment
  • Experience with machine learning and high-performance computing is advantageous, but not necessary

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 offer ideal conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree:

  • A large research campus in a green setting, offering excellent opportunities for networking with colleagues and for sports and recreation alongside your work

Scientific / postdoctoral posts


Job description:

One major area of research in our department focuses on the immune system, a critical factor in health and disease, and how it changes with age. We explore how the age-related decline in immune function, known as ‘inflammaging’, is associated with neurodegeneration and other non-communicable diseases. Our ultimate aim is to contribute to the prevention of neurodegenerative and support healthy brain aging.

Our research is primarily based on the Rhineland Study, a prospective cohort study that emphasizes deep phenotyping. To study the role of the immune system in health and disease across the adult livespan, we included FACS analyses, immune stimulation assays and extensive cytokine profiling into our core protocols. We collaborate with partners at Bonn University in the Cluster of Excellence “ImmunoSensation2” and the Collaborative Research Center “Metaflammation”. Additional data include detailed structural and functional brain imaging, cognitive and neurological assessments, cardiovascular and anthropometric assessments, sensory systems tests, and medical history and medication use data.

Job Description

The doctoral researcher will work in close collaboration between the Ocean Dynamics group (Prof. Stephan Juricke and Prof. Arne Biastoch) at GEOMAR and the Data Science group of Prof. Matthias Renz at the Faculty of Engineering at Kiel University. The goal is to contribute to a better understanding of oceanic processes on scales of a few kilometers using new computer science methods, particularly machine learning. This involves the analysis of very complex spatiotemporal phenomena, especially so-called submesoscale processes. These include eddies and fronts and play a crucial role in the mixing of water masses and their interaction with the atmosphere. The analysis will be based on data from high-resolution global ocean simulations with a particular focus on the Agulhas region off the southern tip of Africa. More specifically, the data used is from the NEMO ocean model and is generated in connection with the ERC project WHIRLS (https://www.whirls.eu). The doctoral researcher will work on new data mining methods to identify regions and processes of particular interest within these very large data sets. Furthermore, new deep learning algorithms (e.g., graph neural network (GNN) architectures) will be developed to explain the identified small-scale processes as accurately and efficiently as possible and to ultimately develop a surrogate model for simulations. This enables the representation of such processes even at significantly lower and less computationally time-intensive resolutions of the global ocean model. The doctoral researcher will thus not only be directly integrated into a larger, interdisciplinary, and team-oriented research unit at GEOMAR, but will also be co-supervised through the Institute of Computer Science at Kiel University. The doctoral researcher will also be closely integrated into the international network of the WHIRLS project.

Your Tasks

  • (Further) Development of an algorithm for identifying spatiotemporal patterns of submesoscale processes in model data.
  • Evaluation, contextual interpretation, and clustering of the identified processes.
  • Development of a method (a so-called parameterization) for representing the identified patterns in the form of a physically informed surrogate model based on large-scale ocean variables.
  • Integration and evaluation of the parameterization in a global ocean model.
  • Publication of scientific results from computer science (data science) and oceanography in the international literature and presentations at international conferences.

Qualification

Required:

  • (Master's) university degree in computer science, data science, applied mathematics, or in physics, oceanography, or a related field with qualifications/experience in data science
  • Experience in programming (e.g., FORTRAN, Python) and data evaluation and analysis
  • Very good written and spoken English skills

If the required degree is not completed at the time of application, the degree certificate must be handed in before the start date of the contract and the application must contain plausible evidence that the degree can be finished before that date.

Desirable:

  • Teamwork skills, open-mindedness, scientific creativity, and determination
  • Experience in machine learning or artificial intelligence, for example, pattern recognition or neural networks
  • Experience in analyzing large data sets
  • Previous knowledge of climate or ocean modeling or working with climate data
  • Previous knowledge of ocean dynamics, theoretical oceanography, or fluid dynamics

At a workplace, directly on the Kiel Fjord with many leisure and recreational opportunities, we offer you:

  • Good conditions for work-life balance: We offer, among other things, the possibility of mobile working and individual working time arrangements, vacation courses for the children of our employees, and good support in finding a place in a daycare center at the Kiel site

Job description:PhD position in "DynaDeep – Biogeochemical processes in the Dynamic Deep subsurface of High-Energy Beaches" (m/f/d)

Background
The DFG Research Unit DynaDeep aims to achieve a deeper understanding of the physical and biogeochemical processes in the subsurface of high-energy beaches, also referred to as the subterranean estuary. The specific goal of this PhD project is to investigate how biogeochemical processes in the porous sand body of a beach are driven by fluctuating inputs of matter from waves, tides, and fresh groundwater discharge, and how these dynamics shape the overall carbon and nutrient cycling in the subterranean estuary.
Specifically, we aim to combine in-situ measurements and laboratory experiments to quantify the transport and turnover of organic carbon and electron acceptors in beach sediments as a function of overlying hydrodynamic and morphodynamic conditions. The work involves close collaboration with 12 other PhD projects. For further information, please visit: https://uol.de/icbm/verbundprojekte/dynadeep.


Your Tasks
You will be responsible for
  • conducting field measurements and quantifying the inflow of organic carbon into the upper beach
  • setting up incubation experiments and measuring reaction rates in beach sediments
  • applying and developing numerical and empirical transport-reaction models
  • publishing results in scientific journals and communicating them to non-experts in an accessible way


Your Profile
  • A university degree (M.Sc. or diploma) in environmental sciences, marine biogeochemistry, or a related discipline
  • Experience in measuring and analyzing biogeochemical transport and reaction rates, preferably with knowledge of diffusion/flow dispersion and oxygen dynamics
  • Very good knowledge in English (approximately equivalent to CEFR level C1)
  • Willingness to conduct field work under challenging conditions
  • A strong interest in collaborative research

Promotion


Part-Time Suitability:

The position is suitable for part-time employment.


Job description:PhD position in Shrimp Aquaculture - SwitchFloc Project (f/d/m)

Background
Aquaculture provides more than half of the world's seafood protein, but it faces major challenges such as high water demand, eutrophication, biosecurity risks, and dependence on fishmeal and fish oil. Biofloc technology (BFT) is an innovative aquaculture system that recycles carbon and nitrogen waste into valuable microbial biomass, which can be used directly on-site as a feed source. This reduces the reliance on commercial aquafeeds and supports the enhancement of animal immune systems.
The SwitchFloc project addresses current BFT challenges through an interdisciplinary and intersectoral research and training programme, including international secondments and network-wide training events.

The research focus of the Institute of Diabetes Research (IDF) lays on understanding the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes, on identifying mechanisms and predictive markers of the disease, and the translation of findings into clinical trials to prevent type 1 diabetes in humans. IDF is particularly interested in deciphering the molecular mechanisms of islet autoreactivity, and the interaction of environment, genes, and the immune response. The ultimate goal is to develop therapies for the prevention and cure of islet autoimmunity and diabetes.

The

Type 1 Diabetes Pathology Research Unit

led by Dr. Teresa Rodriguez-Calvo is offering a master’s thesis project for a motivated student (f/m/x) to join our collaborative team studying type 1 diabetes. As part of your master’s thesis, you will investigate the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes in humans by analyzing pancreatic tissue sections provided by the Network for Pancreatic Organ Donors with Diabetes (nPOD) using advanced imaging techniques.

Your tasks

  • Laboratory techniques such as multiplex immunofluorescence staining on tissue sections.
  • Design and execution of experimental protocols.
  • Acquisition of images using different microscopy techniques, including whole-slide scanning, confocal and super-resolution microscopy.

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
  • Ph.D. in molecular biology, bioinformatics, systems biology, marine biology, or a related field
  • Demonstrated proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python or R)
  • Strong organizational skills
  • Good English knowledge (approximately equivalent to CEFR level B1+B2)


Preferred Qualifications and Skills
  • Expertise in single-cell sequencing, with a strong background in the generation, processing, and integrative analysis of high-dimensional transcriptomic data
  • Demonstrated experience in developing and applying custom bioinformatic pipelines
  • Familiarity with molecular and cellular biology techniques, as well as a willingness to work with emerging model systems in photosymbiosis

Diploma & Master Thesis


Job description:

Your Job:

The storage of renewable energy and electromobility are two of the major social challenges of our time. While today`s batteries already offer sufficiently high energy densities and safety for use in consumer electronics, research and development work is still needed for widespread application in other areas.
Future battery concepts such as Li or Na metal batteries offer a promising approach here. Replacing the flammable liquid electrolyte in conventional ion batteries with a non-flammable ceramic ion conductor not only increases safety. Due to their greater electrochemical stability range, they allow the use of metallic Li or Na as the anode. This can significantly increase the energy density of these batteries. In order to manufacture high-performance Na metal batteries, the compatibility between Na metal and ceramic separators must be increased.

As part of a master`s thesis, the interface between Na metal and the Na ion conductor Na2 Zr2 SiP2 O12 is to be optimized through the use of thin intermediate layers. The influence of these layers on the interfacial resistance and critical current density is to be investigated in symmetrical cells. Finally, the most promising intermediate layer will be integrated into full cells to determine its effect on performance and cycle stability. Electrochemical characterization will be performed using impedance spectroscopy, galvanostatic cycling, and cyclovoltammetry. Various scanning electron microscopes are available for characterizing the microstructure.

Your Profile:

  • Student in the field of chemistry, process engineering, materials science, or a comparable field of natural sciences or engineering, preferably already at the master`s level
  • Knowledge in the areas of inorganic synthesis and electrochemistry is an advantage
  • Experience in the areas of cell construction, electrochemical characterization, and ceramic manufacturing processes is desirable but not a prerequisite
  • Ability to work independently

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:

  • MEANINGFUL TASKS: Your thesis deals with a future-oriented, socially relevant topic with direct practical relevance in an international environment
  • PRACTICAL RELEVANCE: With us, you will gain valuable practical experience alongside your studies and actively participate in interdisciplinary projects
  • SCIENTIFIC ENVIRONMENT: You can expect excellent scientific equipment, modern technologies, and qualified support from experienced colleagues
  • ONBOARDING & TEAMWORK: You can look forward to working in a dedicated, international, and collegial team. It is important to us that you quickly settle into the team and are given structured training for your tasks. We also support you from the very beginning and make your start easier with our Welcome Days and Welcome Guide: go.fzj.de/welcome
  • FLEXIBILITY: Flexible working hours make it easier for you to balance work and study
  • CAMPUS EXPERIENCE: Our research campus in the countryside creates ideal conditions for collegial exchange and sporting activities right on site. Our cafeteria offers a wide range of options - you can enjoy a relaxing lunch break with a lake view

Job description:

PhD Student (f/m/d) in Ion Irradiation and Materials Characterization of Novel Additively Manufactured Materials for Fusion Applications

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.

Your tasks

# 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)

Your profile

# 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

Our offer

# 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"

    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.

    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.

    Your tasks
    You focus on developing your PhD project Mechano-corrosive properties of PBF-LB manufactured biodegradable Mg and Zn alloys. A combination of dynamic mechanical loading and corrosive environment is imposed on a metallic device upon implantation. While the influence of both factors is typically studied and tested separately, their inevitable combination at implantation site may lead to unexpected and premature implant failure due to stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue and tribo-corrosion. Understanding cooperative effects of mechanically assisted corrosion of the Mg and Zn alloys (additively manufactured at Uppsala University) will be the focus of this PhD project. The objectives of this work are to optimize an experimental setup for simultaneous tension/compression testing and localized corrosion measurements, including monitoring of local pH and dissolved hydrogen and oxygen concentrations at metal-electrolyte interface; gain understanding of the factors influencing the initiation and propagation of localized corrosion and associated mechanically assisted corrosion.

    As part of an interdisciplinary research project, we aim to assess whether additively manufactured variants of ferritic/martensitic steels meet the demanding requirements for use in fusion applications. The focus is on evaluating the irradiation tolerance. Ion irradiations using iron (Fe) and helium (He) ions are employed to simulate fusion-relevant damage mechanisms. The objective is to experimentally replicate effects such as hardening, embrittlement, and swelling, and to clarify their dependence on the microstructure induced by the manufacturing process.

    Your tasks

    # Design, execution, and evaluation of ion irradiation experiments to simulate damage phenomena typical of fusion environments
    # Post-irradiation investigations using transmission electron microscopy (TEM/STEM) and nanoindentation
    # Analysis of the interaction between additive manufacturing-induced microstructure, irradiation damage, and mechanical properties
    # Literature research, data analysis, and development of scientific concepts
    # Coordination of supplementary mechanical testing (e.g. fracture mechanics, small punch tests) and subcontracted experiments (e.g. creep testing)
    # Supervision of a PhD student within the project team
    # Documentation and publication of results in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at scientific conferences

    Your profile

    # Completed university studies (PhD) in the field of Materials Science, Materials Engineering, Physics, Nuclear Engineering or a comparable field
    # Sound knowledge in materials characterization (microstructure, mechanical properties), ideally with experience in TEM/STEM and nanoindentation
    # Practical experience or strong interest in ion irradiation and in studying irradiation-induced effects such as hardening, swelling, and embrittlement
    # Familiarity with additively manufactured materials
    # Knowledge in fracture mechanics and creep experiments is desirable
    # Experience in coordinating scientific work and project management is a plus
    # Willingness to provide academic supervision to doctoral students
    # Strong team spirit in interdisciplinary research collaborations
    # Independent, structured, and solution-oriented way of working
    # Scientific curiosity and openness to new challenges
    # Strong communication skills and willingness to collaborate with internal and external partners
    # Enjoyment in working on complex scientific questions and implementing them experimentally
    # Confident use of scientific software (e.g. Gatan DigitalMicrograph, Python, Origin, Matlab, SRIM/TRIM)
    # Solid skills in scientific data analysis and statistical evaluation
    # Good command of MS Office and reference management tools (e.g. Zotero, EndNote)
    # Excellent written and spoken English, German skills desirable
    # Willingness to present research results at national and international conferences

    Our offer

    Job description:

    Mobile working machines (MWM) are critical to industries like construction, mining, and agriculture and key to Europe’s sustainability and productivity goals. To meet rising demands for green, autonomous, and digital solutions, the ENGAGE network brings together top machine manufacturers (Volvo CE, Liebherr, Ponsse, AGCO), tech leaders (Bosch, Bosch Rexroth, Novatron, GIM Robotics), and six leading academic groups across Europe (KIT, TUM, TAU, UMU, AALTO).

    Educating Europe’s Future Engineers for the Next Generation of Mobile Working Machines: ENGAGE will train a new generation of engineers through Industrial Doctorates, equipping them with cutting-edge expertise in AI, robotics, and mechanical engineering. Together, we’re building the future of smart, sustainable mobile machinery.

    The project aims to develop advanced methods for evaluating terrain accessibility and drivability using 3D digital environment maps derived from available sensor data. This may involve a combination of geometric and texture-based information, such as semantic segmentation, to create a detailed understanding of the environment. A key objective is to assess the severity of surface deformations in relation to the off-road capabilities of a given machine. This assessment will serve as a foundation for informed decision-making in complex construction or agricultural tasks. Building on this, the project will also focus on the optimal planning of corrective measures that minimize disruption to the primary work process, ensuring efficiency and continuity. As part of the training component, the doctoral candidate (DC) will acquire broad interdisciplinary expertise at the intersection of machine learning, robotics, simulation, and construction processes.

    In addition, the DC will contribute to the dissemination of project outcomes through digital and social media channels, including the project website, LinkedIn groups, YouTube video channels, and blog contributions. The project offers the opportunity to pursue a doctoral thesis.

Together, we’re building the future of smart, sustainable mobile machinery.

    The primary objective of the project is to develop a so-called geofence system and validate it on an autonomous agricultural tractor. This system is intended to reliably prevent the vehicle from unintentionally leaving a predefined area. The project will explore the effort required to implement a geofence solution that meets a specified Agricultural Performance Level (AgPL). It will examine which technical solutions are necessary and which components are already available on the market. The developed geofence systems will be evaluated in terms of feasibility, compliance with the targeted AgPL, and how closely the autonomous vehicle can safely approach the actual boundary—the closer, the better.

    From a scientific perspective, the project aims to develop methods for identifying appropriate solutions for different safety levels and application scenarios. Various approaches will be compared with a particular focus on cost-efficiency and user acceptance.

    As part of the training component, the doctoral candidate (DC) will gain broad interdisciplinary knowledge at the intersection of machine learning, robotics, functional safety, and relevant machinery directives. In addition, the DC will contribute to the dissemination of project outcomes through digital and social media channels, including the project website, LinkedIn groups, YouTube video channels, and blog contributions. The project is suitable to complete a doctoral thesis.

    PhD Student (f/m/d) in Ion Irradiation and Materials Characterization of Novel Refractory High-Entropy Alloys for Nuclear Applications

    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 Refractory High-Entropy Alloys for Nuclear Applications. Recruitment is subject to final approval by the project sponsor.

    A safe and sustainable use of nuclear energy in Europe and worldwide is not possible without suitable structural materials. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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. 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.

    Job description:

    Chemical reactions in zeolites are to be investigated using quantum chemical methods. The processes unter investigation (methanol-to-olefins, syngas-to-olefins) involve the production of hydrocarbons from renewable raw materials. In addition to periodic density functional theory (DFT), ab initio methods and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations will also be performed for the investigations. Furthermore, machine learning can be tested to accelerate MD simulations.

    In this project, you will be responsible for the following tasks in particular:

    • Investigation of reaction mechanismus using density functional theory and statistical thermodynamics
    • Kinetic modeling using mean-field models and transition state theory
    • Conducting MD simulations for the targeted investigation of selected problems
    • Publication of research results and participation in international conferences 
    • Cooperation and exchange with working groups
