To achieve the goal of greenhouse gas neutrality, so-called negative emission paths must be followed to compensate for remaining residual emissions, in addition to the strict defossilization of the economic system. CO2 capture from ambient air and its storage represents an important technical solution in this context. 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.

  • Familiarization yourself with the topic (NLP, Large Language Models, Patents, Direct Air Capture)
  • Development of the methodology in close cooperation with the supervisors
  • Creation of data sets (partly automatically by heuristics, partly manually)
  • Prototypical development of the individual modules
  • Identification of textual descriptions of technical solutions in patents
  • Identification of the advantages and disadvantages of a technical solution with respect to the prior art
  • Integration of the modules into a pipeline for identification and evaluation of technical solutions


Your Profile:

  • Technical master studies with high affinity to Natural Language Processing (mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, construction engineering) or information technology study background with high interest in technical applications (computer science, computational linguistics)
  • Good knowledge of Python
  • Experience in NLP and in dealing with language models advantageous
  • Interest in technical design issues
  • Independent and analytical way of working
  • Fluent written and spoken English




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:

  • A large research campus with green spaces, offering the best possible means for networking with colleagues and pursuing sports alongside work
  • A highly motivated and international working group in one of the largest research institutions in Europe
  • Excellent scientific and technical infrastructure
  • An interesting and socially relevant topic for your thesis with a future-oriented theme
  • Intensive supervision by scientific colleagues
  • Very good technical equipment for successful work in the home office
  • Appropriate remuneration for your work

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

Job description:

Your Job:

Among other applications, optimal control theory has proven its utility for the optimal calibration of quantum gates early on and has since been used routinely in experiments. The calibration is typically based on a figure of merit derived from experimental data, such as the average gate fidelity provided by the randomized benchmarking protocol. In realistic scenarios, these quantities however require a significant measurement effort to be estimated, especially in the high-precision regime relevant for fault-tolerant quantum computing.
You will investigate recent advances in characterization and benchmarking protocols for their suitability to provide efficient cost functions for the optimal control of gate calibration in full-stack quantum computers and simulators. Based on your assessment, you will develop new, sample-efficient optimal control approaches for gate calibration and test them in numerical simulations. You will pursue your research with the German research collaboration QSolid, www.q-solid.de , coordinated by Forschungszentrum Jülich. You will work with experts in quantum optimal control at Forschungszentrum Jülich (Dr. Felix Motzoi, Dr. Francisco Cardenas-Lopez), and in quantum characterization at the University of Cologne (Dr. Markus Heinrich). We aim at implementing your results in in-house experiments at Forschungszentrum Jülich.
You may consult the works by Dr. Felix Motzoi scholar.google.com/citations and Dr. Markus Heinrich scholar.google.de/citations for an impression of the relevant research.

In this position you will:

  • assess methods and ideas in quantum characterization for their sample efficiency and adapt them for quantum gate calibration
  • develop techniques to simulate and control the dynamics for increasing system complexities
  • implement and optimize the relevant quantum circuits on atomic and superconducting processors
  • cooperate and actively work with experimental partners developing quantum processors using this technological platform
  • design and implement optimization techniques for full-stack improvement of quantum algorithms
  • model major sources of experimental error for control theory or for error mitigation techniques

Your Profile:

  • Masters degree in physics (or in a related subject)
  • Background and strong interest in developing theoretical models and methods as well as in implementing numerical optimization techniques
  • Interest in working closely with experimentalists
  • Detailed knowledge of quantum physics and experience with quantum technology
  • Strong mathematical education, in particular in relation to linear algebra
  • Strong programming experience
  • Ability to effectively communicate in written and spoken English
  • Ability to work autonomously and in close interaction within a team
  • Most importantly: enthusiasm to explore uncharted territory, develop, and follow your own ideas

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:

  • Opportunity to conduct research at the interface of theory and experiment in a world-leading group in quantum control

2025M-019 2025M-019/Jülich Jülich Research Centre (FZJ) https://www.fz-juelich.de/portal/home Master Thesis - Heat transfer in cables when operating qubits at cryogenic temperatures Work group:

PGI-4 - Quantenmaterialien und kollektive Phänomene


Area of research:

Diploma & Master Thesis


Job description:

Your Job:

In this interdisciplinary Master project, you are going to investigate the heat and signal transfer through cables that connect qubit control and readout electronics at different temperatures. The temperature range is between room temperature and all the way to below one Kelvin. The thesis includes creating a model that:

  • Takes the cross-section of a cable with specifc materials as variables
  • Makes it possible to vary length and temperatures of both end of the cable
  • Calculates the corresponding heat transfer of the cable


Since thermal conductivity typically changes greatly with temperature, the heat conductance calculation would have to be solved differentially or the length of the cable would have to be divided into subsections that are small enough for a constant temperature to be assumed on the sections.

Your Profile:

  • Bachelor`s degree or equivalent in electrical engineering, physics, mechanical engineering, or a related field
  • A basic knowledge of integrated circuit design, system-level modeling, or computer architectures or even quantum computers can be helpful but is not necessary
  • Enthusiasm for unconventional, interesting interdisciplinary work - especially at the intersection of electronics and quantum technology

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 themes
  • Ideal conditions for gaining practical experience alongside your studies
  • An interdisciplinary collaboration on projects in an international, committed and collegial team
  • Excellent technical equipment and the newest technology
  • Qualified support through your scientific colleagues
  • The chance to independently prepare and work on your tasks
  • Flexible working hours as well as a reasonable remuneration
  • A large research campus with green spaces, offering the best possible means for networking with colleagues and pursuing sports alongside work
  • Flexible work (location) arrangements, e.g. remote work

In addition to exciting tasks and a collaborative working atmosphere in Jülich, we have a lot more to offer: go.fzj.de/benefits

We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds, e.g. in terms of age, gender, disability, sexual orientation / identity, and social, ethnic and religious origin.

However, the exact relationships between sodium concentration and the crystallographic structure of the cathode material are still insufficiently understood. In order to analyze these pheno­mena in detail and to develop analogues with optimized properties, fundamental atomistic simulations are necessary. In this project, the crystallographic and electronic structure of Prussian blue analogues with different sodium contents will be investigated using density functional theory simulations.
In detail, your tasks will include:

  • Simulation of materials with a Prussian blue structure using density functional theory
  • Comparison of the simulation with experimental data (e.g. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy)

Job description:

GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel is a foundation under public law jointly financed by the Federal Republic of Germany (90%) and the State of Schleswig-Holstein (10%). It is one of the internationally leading institutions in the field of marine research.

Through our research and our commitment to the transfer of knowledge and technology, we contribute significantly to the preservation of the function and protection of the ocean for future generations. With the new SAFAtor project the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam and the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel will further enhance these tasks. Global monitoring of the Earth system has so far been carried out mainly by land-based scientific infrastructures, which cover only accounts for about 30 percent of the Earth's surface. The ocean, particularly the seabed, plays a central role in climate regulation and is the site of hazardous natural disasters, yet remains inadequately monitored. As a result, there are significant gaps in the knowledge of key parameters. To fill these gaps GEOMAR will use the SAFAtor project to equip telecommunications cables on the seabed with innovative sensor technology. These so-called SMART cables will provide valuable real-time data on climate and geological hazards such as earthquakes and tsunamis.

Job description:

GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel is a foundation under public law jointly financed by the Federal Republic of Germany (90%) and the State of Schleswig-Holstein (10%). It is one of the internationally leading institutions in the field of marine research.

Through our research and our commitment to the transfer of knowledge and technology, we contribute significantly to the preservation of the function and protection of the ocean for future generations. Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is now considered in an unprecedented global scale in most, if not all, ambitious mitigation scenarios. Yet, our understanding of efficacy, additionality and side-effects remains limited, not least because representation of CDR options in Earth system models of various complexity remains a challenge. The CDR model intercomparison project (CDRMIP) aims to make a contribution to our knowledge of the Earth system response to novel interferences into the climate system, investigating efficacy, additionality and side-effects of explicit CDR representations in portfolio scenarios.

The research group Earth system dynamics in the research unit Marine Meteorology of the research division Ocean and Climate Dynamics is offering a position for a

Scientist (m/f/d)

to build a repository of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) model implementations and contribute to CDRMIP analysis

starting as soon as possible.

Job Description

In the first part of the project, the scientist will be tasked with building a comprehensive, sharable repository of example CDR model implementations. The repository of CDR implementations will encompass terrestrial and marine methods. For this, we will use the outcomes of ongoing projects that we are involved in, notably RESCUE and CDRmare and CDRterra, but also collaborate with international CDR experts in the context of CDRMIP.
In the second part of the project, the scientist will be analysing the multi-model ensemble simulations of CDRMIP to identify robustness of model responses and identify poorly constrained processes to inform future model development as well as scenario designs. The new CDRMIP model simulation, will allow for the analysis of portfolio implementations of CDR. The simulations will be a combination of idealised overshoot scenarios and realistic but single CDR implementation scenarios. We will complement these efforts with additional simulations with an Earth system model to understand each method's individual efficacy and side effects, and their respective additionalities.

Qualification

Required:

  • M.Sc. in natural sciences or data science
  • Experience in Earth system model development and code documentation
  • Excellent English language skills (oral and written)

Desired qualifications:

  • PhD in natural sciences or data science
  • Experience concerning carbon dioxide removal modelling
  • Well-developed networking and communication skills
  • Experience in working with an interdisciplinary team or integrated assessment scenarios
  • Previous experience with online databases
  • Suitability to the existing research group

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

Promotion


Job description:

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



Our Offer:

We work on highly topical, socially-relevant issues and offer you the opportunity to actively shape change! We offer you optimal conditions for the successful completion of your doctorate:

  • The opportunity to complete a doctoral thesis within 3 years through professional supervision and internal support services
  • A highly motivated working group as well as an international and interdisciplinary working environment in one of the largest research institutions in Europe
  • Active further development of a comprehensive energy system model in order to support energy policy decision-makers in a scientifically sound manner
  • Excellent scientific and technical infrastructure
  • Opportunity to participate in (international) conferences and project meetings
  • Continuous professional support by your scientific supervisor(s)
  • A large research campus in the countryside, which offers the best opportunities for networking with colleagues as well as for a sporty balance besides work
  • Best conditions for successful work in a home office (moving to the Aachen-Düsseldorf-Cologne region is not absolutely necessary)
  • 30 days of annual leave and provision for days off between public holidays and weekends (e.g. between Christmas and New Year)
  • Further development of your personal strengths, e.g. through an extensive range of training courses; a structured program of continuing education and networking opportunities specifically for doctoral researchers via JuDocS, the Jülich Center for Doctoral Researchers and Supervisors: www.fz-juelich.de/en/judocs

Job description:Postdoc for "Large-Eddy Simulations of Arctic air-mass transformations" (m/f/d)

Background
The Arctic climate is shaped by the advection, cooling, and drying of air masses from lower latitudes. To better constrain future Arctic climate change, we want to understand how boundary-layer and cloud processes drive and control these air-mass transformations.

Within the ERC-funded junior research group “Understanding Arctic amplification of climate change through air-mass transformations,” we are looking for a postdoc to study boundary-layer and cloud processes in the air-mass transformations that follow moist intrusion events into the Arctic. Using large-eddy simulation models, you will set up and run case studies of observed air-mass transformations. Collaborating with other group members, you will evaluate the model simulations against satellite remote sensing and balloon-borne observations and study their sensitivity to a changing climate.


Your Tasks
  • Analyze the exchange and transformation of air masses between the Arctic and lower latitudes in reanalysis datasets and climate model output.
  • In collaboration with other team members, link the results from the model analysis to air-mass-following observations and process model studies carried out within the project.


Your Profile
  • A high degree of scientific curiosity and willingness to explore new methods and ideas
  • PhD in Physics, meteorology or a related subject
  • Experience with running and evaluating models
  • English skills that allow one to communicate in an international working environment, and to read and write scientific publications in English (approximately equivalent to CEFR level C1).


Preferred Qualifications and Skills
  • Prior experience with setting up and running Large-Eddy simulations
  • Knowledge of cloud physics and/or boundary-layer processes/ atmospheric turbulence.

Scientist / Researcher (all genders) for the Development of
HHG-based XUV and X-Ray Sources

Part-time 65 %

Posting ID: 25.53-4232

 

Are you interested in doing a PhD using the strongest laser fields and learning about high power lasers and the extreme states of matter that such a laser can produce? In this case this PhD position at German government research institute is for you.

 

Relativistic plasmas are an extreme state of matter that can be created and studied using the 2018 Nobel Prize winning “CPA” laser technology. The light pressure in the focal spot of such a high-power laser system amounts to a few billion bars with associated extreme electric and magnetic fields. These relativistic plasmas are used to produce new categories of intense X-Ray, electron and ion beams.

 

A key concept is the relativistic mirror effect, originally proposed by Einstein. Such relativistic mirrors can be produced using intense lasers and emit high multiples of the laser frequency in the X-ray and extreme Ultraviolet Regime – so called Higher harmonic generation (HHG).

 

Our group is internationally leading in relativistic mirror and HHG science1-5 and uses some of the most powerful lasers to develop this new class of XUV/X-Ray beams. We are looking for an outstanding Ph.D. candidate to strengthen our experimental team.

 

We are looking for candidates with

  • a completed university degree in physics,
  • a high degree of passion and motivation,
  • experimental experience, ideally in the field of lasers, plasmas or optics in general,
  • programming skills,
  • and who possess excellent communication skills in English and German.

 

We offer the opportunity to work with an international team of scientists on cutting edge research in a German national laboratory, with ideal conditions regarding equipment and support via technicians.

 

The position is a fixed-term 3-year contract embedded in Germany’s largest research foundation, with the salary and benefits based on the Collective Agreement for the German Public Service (TVöD-Bund) effective at GSI. The position will be established in Jena.

 

 

GSI promotes the professional development of women and expressly welcomes applications from women. Handicapped persons will be preferentially considered when equally qualified.

 

Information about the Helmholtz Institute Jena, FAIR and GSI is available at www.hi-jena.de, www.gsi.de and www.fair-center.eu.

For any questions please contact Prof. Dr. Matt Zepf (M.Zepf(at)hi-jena.gsi.de, Phone: +49 3641 947-616) and Dr. Peter Hilz (P.Hilz(at)hi-jena.gsi.de, Phone: +49 3641 947-617).

Promotion


Job description:PhD position in "Coupling of the Arctic to the global climate system" (m/f/d)

Background
The Arctic is warming much faster than the rest of the planet, and we understand how local feedback processes contribute to this Arctic amplification of climate change.
We do not yet understand how the exchange and transformation of air masses couples the Arctic to the global climate system, how this air-mass exchange and transformation changes in a warming climate and whether it is an important contributor to Arctic amplification.

Within the ERC-funded junior research group “Understanding Arctic amplification of climate change through air-mass transformations”, we are looking for a PhD student to build a fundamental understanding of atmospheric circulation in the Arctic and its coupling to global climate. To this end, you will study the exchange and transformation of air masses between the Arctic and lower latitudes using climate models, reanalysis data and the results of observational and process model studies carried out within the group.


Your Tasks
  • Analyse the exchange and transformation of air masses between the Arctic and lower latitudes in reanalysis datasets and climate model output
  • In collaboration with other team members, link the results from the model analysis to air-mass-following observations and process model studies carried out within the project


Your Profile
  • MSc in physics, math, meteorology or a related subject
  • Strong quantitative skills
  • Experience with handling and analysing large data sets
  • English skills that allow to communicate in an international working environment, and to read and write scientific publications in English (approximately equivalent to CEFR level C1)

Preferred Qualifications and Skills
  • Prior experience with climate models or meteorological observations, knowledge of climate dynamics

With around 1,200 employees as well as ca. 500 guest researchers, we contribute to the Helmholtz Research Field Earth and Environment, aligning cutting-edge research with societal relevance and international collaboration. Our work integrates multidisciplinary studies across Earth's system components, leveraging advanced technologies and infrastructure to research solutions and to transfer our knowledge to society. We are doing this according to our vision: “Taking the pulse of our Earth to safeguard a habitable planet”.

    The central research topic of Section 4.2 aims at understanding the physical processes that control dynamics and mechanical properties in the Earth's crust and mantle lithosphere. This covers the entire spectrum of topics ranging from geomechanics and rock physics to the rheology of crust and uppermost mantle, ranging over the entire spatial bandwidth from the laboratory through mine and reservoir scale to the deformation of tectonic plate boundaries.

    Starting date:

    13.05.2025


    Job description:

    GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt operates one of the leading particle accelerators for science. In the next few years, the new FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) one of the world's largest research projects, will be built in international cooperation. GSI and FAIR offer the opportunity to work together in this international environment with a team of employees committed to ensure each day to conduct world-class science.

    The Biophysics department is an interdisciplinary collaboration of biologists, physicists, chemists, biochemists and technicians. The multidisciplinary research covers a wide range of topics from radiobiology, radiation physics and space research to radiation therapy. The advertised position will be within the Space Radiation Physics subgroup of the biophysics department.

     

    The GSI Biophysics – department is looking for an in fulltime (100 %) at the earliest possible date a

    Engineer for high energy GCR simulator-project (all genders)

    Posting ID: 25.56-1580

     

    The HEARTS project is an EU-funded project, which is focusing on high-energy heavy ion accelerator access for users in space research. During this project, the effects of Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) are mimicked at ground level, which allow the qualification of microelectronics, and shielding or radiobiology experiments. This project is performed in cooperation with CERN and several industrial and academic partners. The background of the project concerns the increasing need of microelectronic radiation hardness tests without complex device preparation (e.g., de-lidding or thinning), the capability to irradiate whole systems at once, as well as improvements to the efficiency of space relevant radiobiological experiments.

     

    GSI biophysics participates in three different working packages:

    1. Dosimetry, Beam instru­mentation, characterization and dosimetry

    2. Quantitative estimates of shielding effectiveness with GCR/SPE simulator

    3. Upgrade of the FAIR facility for shielding testing.

     

    Within these subprojects GSI has the main responsibility. Various development activities are required, which at the end of the project period should result in functioning facilities and devices for irradiation with high-energy and high-Z particles from the GSI/FAIR synchrotron. The particle-irradiations simulate the cosmic irradiation and should allow the study of deleterious health effects of space radiation on biological or electronic systems.

     

    The irradiation devices to be developed or programmed for this project should provide remote controlled movement of targets and beam modifiers. The goal is to reduce the required time for access to the irradiation rooms (for manual setup and adjustments) as much as possible in order to use the valuable beam time as effective possible. Additionally, irradiation devices should be included in the general logging of the cave and its interlock system, if necessary. In this project, the targets are mostly represented by electronic modules for space applications or radiobiological samples. The interfaces between these targets and irradiation devices should be as standardized as possible to reduce assembly time but flexible enough to support the wide variety of different experiment types which are routinely requested.

     

    In the near future, FAIR will offer even higher particle energies, and a higher energy version of GSIs current GCR simulator will be installed in one of FAIRs experimental vaults. To transfer the high-energy GCR simulator from an experiment to routine user operation, new control- and target handling systems are required for the safe and reliable operation of this unique future irradiation facility.

     

    Additionally, the Space Radiation Physics group is responsible for maintaining, upgrading and operating GSIs experimental vault cave A. Cave A, the HEARTS project as well as the implementation of the high- energy GCR simulator for FAIR as an efficient user facility, require intensive engineering support, close interaction and teamwork with the responsible physicists and biologists.

     

    Your tasks:

    • Support and engineering for the HEARTS-project as well as other biophysics projects
    • Development and construction of automated target holders and beam modifiers
    • Engineering and implementation of the high-energy GCR simulator at the future FAIR facility
    • Implementing of the corresponding controls and documentation
    • Joining and supporting experiments (beam times) during the few weeks of beam time per year. For these periods, flexible shift work ist required.

     

      Your profile:

    • Master of Science or Bachelor of Science with a specialization in mechatronics or a similar qualification
    • Expertise with CAD Software (e.g. Catia, or others)
    • Expertise with SPS/PLC programming and microcontrollers
    • Experience in a modern programming language like Python, C++, .NET, …
    • Experience with programming cobots or industrial robotic arms
    • Experience with MS Office
    • Proficiency with standard workshop equipment
    • Good written and spoken knowledge of German and English
    • Willingness to work in a team of Physicists, engineers and biologists

     

    We offer working in an exciting, multidisciplinary field of research under competent supervision.

    Scientific / postdoctoral posts


    Job description:

    We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated PhD student to conduct research at the interface of immunology and neuroscience.

    The student will be a member of the ‘Translational Neuroimmunology’ research group, led by Dr. Róisín McManus, which is based at the DZNE in Bonn and is also associated with the Institute of Innate Immunity at the University Hospital Bonn, the ImmunoSensation2 Cluster of Excellence and the Collaborative Research Centre “Metaflammation” (SFB 1454).

    Our research focuses on understanding how microglia-mediated neuroinflammation contributes to the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Specifically, we examine how immune signaling and metabolic changes combine to modulate microglial function, affecting disease outcome.

    Our recent work has uncovered that consumption of a western diet can drive lipid changes that activate microglia, causing neuroinflammation. Using a series of animal models of dementia, murine cell culture models and samples from patients, the goal of your PhD will be to unravel the innate immune pathways mediating these neuroinflammatory changes, and thus contribute to Alzheimer’s disease.

    Specifically, this position is part of an international interdisciplinary collaboration and will involve cell culture work using murine and human cells, immune activation assays and state of the art lab techniques (metabolic assays, flow cytometry, fluorescence imaging, RNA sequencing and biochemical techniques e.g. western blot, quantification assays). Combining diet treatments, pharmacological inhibition and genetic depletion approaches, the successful applicant will assess the full impact of western diet on microglial activity both in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro.

    • A MSc degree in one of the following fields: Immunology, Neuroscience, Biology or similar
    • Previous experience in experimental animal work and immunology, neuroscience or cell metabolism research would be very beneficial
    • FELASA accreditation is a strong plus
    • Hands on experience in cell culture (e.g. murine microglia or macrophages, or cells generated from human iPSCs) and biochemistry techniques (protein assays, western blot, PCR). Familiarity in immunohistochemistry or flow cytometry is a plus
    • Fluency in English for communicating, writing, and presentation of scientific data
    • Strong enthusiasm and motivation for interdisciplinary research, with an interest to explore and innovate with new techniques

    Job description:Postdoc "Interferometric SAR Data Processing and Analysis for Implementation in the 3D-ABC Foundation Model" (m/f/d)

    Background
    The large collaborative project ‘3D-ABC’, funded for 3 years by the Helmholtz Foundation Model Initiative, will focus on the development of a Foundation Model combining large remote sensing and field datasets, large-scale AI, generative AI, and Exascale HPC to detect, quantify, and characterize key parameters of the global carbon cycle at high spatial resolution with a focus on above and below ground terrestrial carbon stocks.

    3D-ABC is led by AWI and combines the resources and expertise from 6 HGF centres (AWI, GFZ, UFZ, DLR, FZJ, and HZDR). It will build strongly on HGF-associated datasets including products from the TanDEM-X radar mission, large airborne and field-based LiDAR datasets, and process-based models, as well as other openly available remote sensing and field datasets. The diverse data will be combined to facilitate 8 downstream tasks, from land cover change and forest height, to increasingly demanding tasks such as above-ground biomass, soil carbon storage, and model uncertainty ranges, to eventually complex tasks targeting carbon impacts of disturbances, forest productivity, and carbon uptake. Training the 3D-ABC Foundation Model involves extremely large volumes of data and computational resources, requiring High Performance Computing (HPC) on the JUWELS HPC system and the upcoming first European Exascale supercomputer, JUPITER (both at FZJ) to facilitate exceptionally high performance for AI training and deployment at the scale needed for 3D-ABC.

    The focus of this postdoc position is on processing interferometric TanDEM-X data towards their ingestion into the 3D-ABC Foundation Model, analysing the results, and supporting the development and validation of the forest height and biomass downstream tasks of the Foundation Model. You will also be responsible for managing a suitable and efficient transfer of the processed data for FM training to the AI and HPC teams in the 3D-ABC consortium. Important requirements are experience in handling, processing and analyzing large-scale interferometric synthetic aperture radar data, programming, and basic knowledge of AI processing methods.

    • Interpretation of the requirements for the training of the 3D-ABC model and downstream task computations in terms of TanDEM-X data characteristics and processing requirements in forest areas for height and biomass mapping and in permafrost areas for soil conditions
    • Retrieve, download from DLR archives, store, and process the suitable TanDEM-X data up to the interferometric coherence and the needed auxiliary data for each scene within the coverage of interest, in the format required by the 3D-ABC implementation
    • Transfer efficiently the processing results between processing facilities for FM training to the AI and HPC teams in the 3D-ABC consortium
    • Develop the required software data management and processing interfaces
    • Analyse the results and support the development and validation of the forest and permafrost downstream tasks
    • During the full-time stays at the Microwaves and Radar Institute (DLR Oberpfaffenhofen), the postdoc will be hosted by the PolInSAR research group -Radar Concepts department, and will be able to use the available hardware (e.g. processing servers, Terrabyte platform, etc.) and software resources


    Your Profile
    • Completed doctoral degree in remote sensing, signal processing, computer science, or other closely related fields
    • Experience in handling, processing, and analysing large amount of data, especially large-scale remote sensing SAR image sets
    • Experience in programming and in automation of image data processing
    • Interest in the development of interferometric SAR data sets for large-scale AI and FM training
    • Basic knowledge of AI processing methods and dataset requirements
    • Relevant publication record and experience presenting scientific results at international level

    Scientific / postdoctoral posts


    Job description:PostDoc in atmospheric physics on deep learning / foundational modelling of clouds (w/d/m)

    Background
    We are seeking a scientist with a strong background in physics, meteorology or a related subject who is interested in deep learning of weather and climate processes, in particular in the atmospheric boundary layer. We also welcome applications from deep learning specialists who haveexperience working in different domains before.

    The use of deep learning for weather forecasting has experienced significant growth in recent years, transforming the computational representation of atmospheric processes. Large-scale models have so far been trained on coarse-resolution model data and thereby inherited some of the weaknesses of classical models in representing important but small-scale processes in the atmospheric boundary layer. To make the next leap forward in deep learning of atmospheric processes, we intend to train a model on high-resolution model output and observations. We aim to improve deep learning models beyond the limitations of current models.


    Your Tasks
    You will familiarize yourselves with the deep learning techniques and models used in atmospheric and climate science. You will also fine-tune a pre-trained foundational model such as Atmorep or Aurora using diverse data from large-eddy simulations, direct numerical simulations, and observations of the real atmosphere. Furthermore, you will collaborate with atmospheric scientists in our group and machine-learning experts from the Helmholtz AI program to develop a setup that allows for training a generalizable model of atmospheric boundary-layer processes. The tasks also include presenting results at conferences and publishing them as scientific papers.


    Your Profile
    • PhD in physics, meteorology, or a related subject
    • Strong quantitative and numerical skills (or experience with deep learning methods, particularly with transformer-based architectures from a different domain)
    • Good knowledge of English as a working language (approximately equivalent to CEFR level B1)
    • Prior experience in Earth system modelling and machine learning is advantageous

    Hydrogen economy promises a source of clean energy, but it requires addressing critical issues associated with the assessment of hydrogen before being end-used. An issue associated is hydrogen embrittlement (HE). HE can cause catastrophic failures, especially in HE susceptible steel structures. Thus, the candidate will develop reliable machine learning-based surrogate models to replace expensive phase field models to simulate failure because of HE. The activities will be complemented by own lab testing e.g., SSRT incl. electrochemical charging. This includes supporting and setting up new HE testing facilities. This is part of a third-party funded project.

    We are looking for a highly motivated candidate to develop models integrating machine learning and domain-specific knowledge to predict failure arising from hydrogen embrittlement. You will carry out materials testing, computational model development, data processing, and code implementation in close cooperation with scientists. The position is limited to 3 years.

    Scientific / postdoctoral posts


    Job description:

    GFZ is Germany's national centre for solid Earth research. We advance the understanding of dynamic processes to address global challenges, from mitigating the impacts of natural hazards and sustaining our habitat amid global change to responsibly managing georesources. We are part of the Helmholtz Association, the largest German scientific organisation. With around 1,200 employees as well as ca. 500 guest researchers, we contribute to the Helmholtz Research Field Earth and Environment, aligning cutting-edge research with societal relevance and international collaboration. Our work integrates multidisciplinary studies across Earth's system components, leveraging advanced technologies and infrastructure to research solutions and to transfer our knowledge to society. We are doing this according to our vision: “Taking the pulse of our Earth to safeguard a habitable planet”.

    For section 4.7  “Earth Surface Process Modelling” (department “Geosystems ”), we are looking for a:

    Reference Number 10408

    In tectonically active coastal areas, earthquake faults located offshore can trigger tsunamis in addition to the shaking risk. Their exact location and rate of activity can be difficult to assess as near-shore bathymetry is singularly understudied. Sea-going vessels produce high-resolution maps of the seafloor at greater depths, leaving shelf areas poorly resolved. The shallower domain down to ca. 125 m is of particular interest because eustatic cycles alternately expose it to submarine and subaerial erosion. This process gradient subjects fault scarps to varying rates of reworking, potentially revealing their activity over different timescales.

    To make up for the lack of nearshore high-resolution maps, we plan to develop and deploy an Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) equipped with a multibeam sonar in target locations starting with the Kefalonia Transform Fault Zone (KTFZ) in Western Greece. The offshore survey will complement ongoing dry land research of the KTFZ history by our team and the high-resolution offshore bathymetry recently acquired during the POSEIDON cruise. The USV is being developed in the mechanical workshop of GFZ and will need to be tested, modified, and improved during the project. 

    The seafloor survey will image the scarps of active faults to understand the faults surface expression at different depths. The output will be 1) an extension of the regional active fault inventory and better constraints on their rate of activity and 2) a proof of concept for future near shore studies of seismogenic faults.

    The successful candidate will be in a team jointly led by Silvia Crosetto, Claudio Faccenna, Luca Malatesta, and Jean Braun. 

    Your responsibilities:

    • Participate in the development of the USV in the workshop, test runs, and initial deployments
    • Design a survey strategy and data analysis for the KTFZ field deployment and future missions
    • Lead the bathymetric survey effort in the field
    • Analyse collected dataset to inform active tectonic studies
    • Participate in or lead the tectonic geomorphology and paleoseismological study of fault activity
    • Provide expertise in bathymetric surveys for the development of research projects
    • Mentor students embedded in the project
    • Actively engage in scientific discussion and activities with other members of the section and collaborating sections at GFZ
    • Present, publish and communicate research results at scientific meetings and in scholarly journals

    Your qualifications:

    • PhD in Earth or Ocean Sciences (or equivalent) by the time of contract start
    • MSc in a field of natural sciences or engineering
    • Desirable advanced knowledge in bathymetric surveys and the use of multibeam sonar technology
    • Desirable advanced knowledge in the analysis of multibeam sonar datasets
    • Desirable aptitude to troubleshoot mechanical and electronic equipment
    • Desirable familiarity with active tectonics and dynamics of the earthquake cycle
    • Demonstrated excellence in publications (pre-prints and articles in revision will be considered)
    • Demonstrated capacity for international teamwork and excellent communication skills
    • Proficiency in spoken and written English

    What we offer:

    • Ambitious and varied tasks in a dynamic and international research environment

Our work integrates multidisciplinary studies across Earth's system components, leveraging advanced technologies and infrastructure to research solutions and to transfer our knowledge to society. We are doing this according to our vision: “Taking the pulse of our Earth to safeguard a habitable planet”.

    For section 2.2 Geophysical Imaging (department “Geophysics”), we are looking for a:

    Reference Number 10496

    Urban sustainable development and improved resilience to geohazards require an exhaustive understanding of the shallow subsurface at the sub-kilometre scale. Yet, high-resolution imaging of the urban subsurface is challenging using classical geophysical approaches.

    In the frame of the Helmholtz-funded project InDySE (Interrogating the Dynamic Shallow Earth), this PhD project focuses on combining Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) deployed on existing fibre-optic networks (dark fibres) with interferometric analysis of ambient seismic noise for efficient, high-resolution imaging of the near-surface in densely populated areas. The successful candidate will analyse existing and newly acquired DAS data from urban areas to create velocity models of the subsurface to identify and characterise structures such as faults, obtain information about material properties, and derive parameters useful for improved hazard assessment. Integration of DAS data with conventional seismic sensors and the combination of ambient noise and earthquake signals may also be explored. One of the main study areas will be the city of Istanbul (Turkey). Together with investigations of temporal variations in seismic properties, this work will contribute to improved generation of comprehensive models of the urban shallow subsurface, with implications for geohazard assessment and mitigation.

    Your responsibilities:

    • Development and application of ambient seismic noise interferometry approaches to DAS field data for subsurface imaging
    • Compilation of existing subsurface and auxiliary data and integration/interpretation of the results
    • Contribution to the design, planning and execution of DAS field experiments
    • Publish results in peer-reviewed journals and present at meetings and international conferences

    Your qualifications:

    • A Master's degree (or equivalent) in Geophysics (preferred), Physics, Computer Science or in a related discipline
    • Background in Seismology;  experience in the field of seismic noise preferred but not required
    • Familiarity and prior experience working with DAS data are advantageous but not required
    • Strong computational and scientific programming skills (Python, Matlab, C, C++, etc.)
    • Good communication skills and a good command of written and spoken English
    • Willingness to participate in field experiments

    What we offer:

    • Ambitious and varied tasks in a dynamic and international research environment
    • State-of-the-art equipment
    • Public service benefits
    • Extensive training opportunities
    • Professional career advice offered by our in-house Career-Centre
