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

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.

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. Available multi-omics data, both from baseline and follow-up, include (epi) genomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic, lipidomic, proteomic and microbiome data. The study currently includes over 12,500 individuals, with longitudinal data already available for nearly 5,000 of them. Additional baseline and follow-up data collection is ongoing.
In this context, the group of Prof. Dr. Breteler is looking for an ambitious and experienced researcher (m/f/x) in full time to join the department of Population Health Sciences at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) in Bonn.
You will address questions related to immune diversity and brain health, primarily leveraging the rich data from the Rhineland Study and other large scale cohort studies. In addition to contributing to ongoing projects, you will develop your own research projects and profile. You will contribute to the management of the immunology pipelines, be involved in the supervision of PhD and master’s students, and actively participate in national and international collaborations.
Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, a CV, and transcripts in one single PDF file. The cover letter should describe your motivation to apply for this position and detail how your research interest and experience align with the research conducted in our group. Please highlight any relevant projects, publications, or collaborations. Note: We highly value authenticity in applications and discourage the use of AI-generated cover letters.

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 2.2 Geophysical Imaging (department “Geophysics”), we are looking for a:Recent advances in quantum technology have made operational quantum gravimeters possible, surpassing conventional devices in precision and versatility. In this context, the EU-funded EQUIP-G project will deploy a network of Absolute Quantum Gravimeters (AQG) across Europe, forming the first terrestrial segment of a pan-European quantum gravimetry infrastructure. This network will support key priorities like the Green Deal, energy management, and risk mitigation. It aims to democratise access to advanced quantum gravity instruments and build a strong European gravimetry community through rigorous testing and FAIR data management.
In this context, GFZ takes part in one of the selected test-case, the Theistareykir geothermal reservoir (North Iceland). GFZ has been monitoring subsurface mass transfers with a multiparameter network including two superconducting gravity (SG) meters. Due to instrumental drift, SGs cannot precisely detect relatively small gravity changes occurring over time scales of months to years and absolute measurements have been performed to correct for it.
Within Equip-G, the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (FGI), the National Land Survey of Finland (NLS) and GFZ will perform three 3-month campaigns of quantum gravimetry in the geothermal field. In each campaign, the AQG will perform continuous measurements at the SG installation sites, providing (a) absolute gravity reference to correct the drift on the data from the SGs, as well as (b) time-series offering independent insight into the short-term (days to weeks) gravity changes induced by the redistributions of the geothermal masses.
The GFZ actively promotes diversity and explicitly welcomes applications from all qualified individuals, regardless of ethnic and social origin, nationality, gender, sexual orientation and identity, religion/belief, age and physical characteristics. We also promote an inclusive working environment in which everyone can fully develop their own talents. Anyone who has been recognised as severely disabled, will be given preferential consideration in the event of equal suitability and qualification in accordance with the provisions of the German Social Code IX. In case of further queries regarding gender equality, please do not hesitate to contact our Equal Opportunities Officer.
“Diversity in perspectives” is one of GFZ's core values. As an integral part of supporting diversity at our centre, we actively promote women in science and in leadership positions. We among others do this through our gender equality plan and the cascade model measures which we actively implement to enable sustainable equal opportunities in academic career paths. The GFZ thus committedly strives for gender equality in science, including in leadership positions, and strongly encourages women to apply.
Your personal data will be processed for the purpose of conducting the selection procedure on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 b, Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Art. 26 of the Data Protection Act for the State of Brandenburg.

Mixed-valence vanadium oxides express a variety of divergent magnetic, electronic and catalytic properties that make them attractive for numerous applications thanks in large part to the ability of vanadium to assume different oxidation states. This project will explore the feasibility of novel binary and ternary vanadates and also explore their behavior under extremes of pressure and temperature. This will be achieved using a variety of solid-state, high-pressure and solvothermal synthesis techniques, and the resultant products will be characterized through X-ray and neutron diffraction as well as spectroscopic methods to determine their composition, structure, and oxidation-state distribution. In addition, variable temperature and pressure studies will be carried out to probe their structural stability, phase transitions, and emergent functional properties.

PHD Thesis
Your Job:
This research primarily seeks to incorporate advanced neuron models, such as those capturing dendritic computation and probabilistic Bayesian network behavior, into unconventional computing architectures, replacing conventional structureless and deterministic LIF point-neuron models. This is pursued through circuit designs that exploit and control memristor dynamics (e.g., local activity and stochasticity). For example, localized dendritic activation underlies numerous computational functions across hierarchical levels, such as denoising (filtering), increased expressivity (tunable local activation), multi-timescale adaptation (local memory), and stimulus-specific adaptation (multi-task processing). While the co-optimization of dendrite-inspired functional circuits with emerging memory devices has only recently been explored, this doctoral project aims to advance that frontier.
Initially, the research will explore CMOS–memristor hybrid implementations, leveraging their analog tunability and high-order dynamics to realize dendrite-inspired functional circuits. These circuits will subsequently be integrated as core computational modules within unconventional computing architectures, enabling algorithm–circuit co-optimization across the computing pipeline with respect to key metrics such as power consumption, computational delay, and area efficiency. Beyond circuit prototyping, the project will conduct task-level benchmarking to evaluate overall system performance in relation to both dendrite–neurosynaptic functionalities and the intrinsic characteristics of memristive devices.

Current R&D goals of PITZ include improving electron source brightness beyond state of the art for X-ray Free Electron Lasers as well as applications of high brightness beams e.g. for FLASH radiation therapy R&D (FLASHlab@PITZ).FLASH radiation therapy (FLASH RT) involves treatments delivered at ultra-high dose rates, and is a new and exciting opportunity for cancer treatment. The PITZ accelerator is the perfect test facility for this new technique as it is extremely flexible in the timing of the irradiation bunches and the corresponding dose rates and can deliver full treatment doses within a 1 ms bunch train. The detectors and methods established for dosimetry of conventional radiotherapy are not suitable for FLASH RT. The student will develop suitable detection and dosimetry methods at ultra-high dose rates, making use of the detector expertise developed for particle, astroparticle and accelerator physics applications at DESY Zeuthen in cooperation with national and international partners.

The Potsdam Memorandum of 2007 called on science and society to tap into all sources of ingenuity and cooperation in an effort to tackle the great planetary challenges of our time. The arts are among these sources: They can provide insights beyond the scope of scientific analysis and policy development, challenge our views and open new avenues to work together towards alternative futures, while fostering dialogue across cultures, ontologies, and territories.
The DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program, the City of Potsdam, and the Research Institute for Sustainability (RIFS) at GFZ are issuing a joint call for applications for international artists who wish to develop work that explores the intersection between art and sustainability during a fellowship in Potsdam, Germany. The programme seeks to foster exchange between the arts, academia, politics, and civil society. We encourage the participation of artists with critical voices and perspectives that are absent in German and Western European discussions on sustainability.
We especially welcome applications from candidates whose interests dovetail with our research activities in the areas of: air quality, climate change, consumption, democracy, digitalisation, energy, just transition, mindsets, mobility, rights of nature, risks and hazards, citizen engagement, and/or sustainability challenges faced in the Arctic, European cities and regions (e.g., Brandenburg/Berlin), Latin America (particularly the Amazon region), Southern (in particular the Himalaya region) and Eastern Asia, or the Oceans.
The successful applicant will join the RIFS Fellow Programme, which frequently hosts artists as well as scientists and practitioners from business and civil society. The fellowship spans a period of at least four and ideally up to six months, starting in mid-2026. Fellows will receive a monthly stipend of 2,500 Euro, plus a lump sum for travel expenses (return journey to Potsdam from your current country of residence), and up to 5,000 Euros for housing support. In addition, we provide support on various legal requirements such as visa applications.
This call for applications is open to artists active in any field – from the visual arts to filmmaking, the performing arts, literature, music, and beyond. While we value artistic experience, we recognize that exceptional talent and creativity can often transcend traditional benchmarks. We encourage individuals with a passion for their craft and a strong portfolio to apply. We welcome joint applications by artistic collectives, but our financial resources (see above) are limited. Some proficiency in the English language, as well as interest in research on sustainability, climate justice and/or planetary futures, are preconditions for a successful residency.
Your application must include the following documents as individual PDF files, each not exceeding 5MB:
Letter of motivation (max. 2 pages): Please explain your motivation to apply for this fellowship. In particular, please outline how your project would benefit from a collaboration with one of the RIFS research groups. Please indicate which RIFS research group would be your preferred cooperation partner. Please declare any use of AI in preparing your application.
CV (max. 2 pages): Please outline the key steps in your career.
Portfolio (max. 20 pages): Please provide us with your portfolio or links to websites hosting your work.
Proposal (max. 10 pages): Please outline your intended project during your fellowship, paying special attention to how it would relate to sustainability and be implemented at RIFS, in the Potsdam/Berlin area and/or the German art world. Please make explicit, what work spaces, materials or other resources you require to implement your project.
All documents must be submitted as separate PDF files in English via our online application portal. Your complete application (all files) should not exceed 25MB.
Successful applicants will be selected by representatives from the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program, the City of Potsdam, RIFS and independent external jury members from academia and the arts. The top candidate(s) will be interviewed prior to make a final decision.
We expect to reach our decision in March/April 2026.
As part of the fellowship, we expect that the successful applicant(s) present their work to the public. This does not necessarily mean completed art pieces, but more broadly their topics, approach and perspective on planetary transitions.

]]>PHD Thesis
Your Job:
Aerosol particles act as ice nucleating particles, providing surface for water vapour to deposit and freeze into ice particles. Formation of cirrus clouds and subsequent sedimentation of ice crystals can dehydrate air in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) region, thereby influencing the water vapor budget of this region. Aerosols and cirrus are important to the global climate because they interact with radiation from the sun and from the earth. However, the aerosol-cirrus interaction in the UTLS is not well understood because of lacking sufficient in situ data. In addition, the dynamics and transport processes across the UTLS adds complexity to unveil the role of UTLS aerosols in cirrus formation and the life cycle of cirrus. Therefore, it is crucial to measure aerosol composition and properties together with cirrus occurrences in the UTLS for achieving a better understanding of the link between aerosols and cirrus clouds in the UTLS, for which Lagrangian modelling is a valuable tool to revealing the source of UTLS aerosols, the origin of water masses, and formation processes of cirrus particles.

Your Job:
The work will examine global supply chains for wind turbines, particularly offshore, or for microchip and semiconductor technologies, to identify bottlenecks, dependencies, and transformation paths. Based on a systematic literature review and trade data analysis, the first step will be to select the technologies to be considered (e.g., generator- and permanent magnet-based). A material flow-based database for the supply chain will then be established for these technologies, which will provide a basis for analyzing dependencies and the demand for (critical) raw materials. Specifically, you will work on the following tasks:
The project offers the opportunity to deal intensively with the renewable energy value chain and to work out connections to critical raw materials. The project is supervised by the Chair of Energy Economics at TU Dresden in cooperation with the Resource Strategies Department of Jülich System Analysis at Forschungszentrum Jülich. This thesis aims to publish a research article in a renowned international journal (e.g., Energy Policy, Journal of Industrial Production).

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. As part of the LiMare consortium funded by the BMWE, an approach will be developed that will enable extractions of critical raw materials from seawater in a selective and environmentally friendly manner. The sub-project “Determining the impacts on the marine ecosystem” aims to provide a risk assessment for this new technology.
The Geomicrobiology group in the research unit Marine Geosystems is offering one position for a
starting as soon as possible. The position is limited to 36 months, subject to approval.
The Geomicrobiology group studies microbial communities from the sea floor - from shallow water to the deep sea. In light of ongoing anthropogenic activities, it is of fundamental importance to understand how microorganisms and their metabolisms are influenced by changing environmental conditions and how they in turn shape their environment. Established methods the Geomicrobiology working group uses to address these aspects include molecular biological approaches as well as cultivation-based techniques such as incubation experiments, cultivation and rate measurements.
Job description/Project description
You will conduct incubation experiments with sediment cores and the overlying water column in order to produce a well-founded risk assessment of a newly developed process for the selective and environmentally friendly extraction of critical raw materials from seawater. In doing so, you will implement different experimental approaches, take subsamples at defined times, and perform cell count determinations as well as taxonomic, functional, and chemical analyses. The methods used include classical microbiological and molecular biological laboratory techniques for analyzing microbial diversity and functionality.

The group of Dr. Daniele Bano investigates molecular mechanisms underlying age-related neurodegenerative processes, with a focus on understanding how cellular and systemic metabolic dysfunctions contribute to neuronal vulnerability. Building on our previous published studies (https://www.dzne.de/en/research/research-areas/fundamental-research/research-groups/bano/publications/), our research program aims to identify genetic and epigenetic modifiers that influence disease onset and severity. In this regard, current and future projects are centered on metabolism (particularly mitochondrial bioenergetics) and explore how the exposome (environmental and lifestyle factors) can trigger neuronal stress and degeneration during aging. By integrating data across in vitro and in vivo models, we aim to uncover molecular mechanisms that can lead to novel avenues for interventions. Additional details about the different projects and career perspectives will be discussed during the interview.
The full time position is initially limited to two years, with the option of extension.

Your Job:
In order to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions, efficient methods for separating CO2 from point sources are needed. Pressure and temperature swing adsorption processes are currently frequently investigated regarding their suitability for such a process. One disadvantage of these technologies is the high energy requirement during the temperature and pressure swings. Electrochemical separation methods, which do not require energy-intensive temperature or pressure swings and are based on electrochemical processes, offer an interesting alternative to these processes. In supercapacitive swing adsorption, the charging and discharging process of a supercapacitor is used for CO2 separation. As part of your work, you will vary different electrode materials and system parameters to investigate their effect on the adsorption properties. Your tasks will include:

The section 4.4 Hydrology (department “Geosystems”) offers a Postdoc position focusing on “Hydrological connectivity of soil moisture and streamflow“ in the framework of the Helmholtz Water Safety and Security Initiative:This position is part of the project “Securing Terrestrial Water Cycles: the Helmholtz SOlution Lab Elbe RiVEr Basin (SOLVE)”, funded by the Helmholtz Association. SOLVE brings together expertise from seven Helmholtz Centres and 10 stakeholder institutions to develop a science-based decision framework for the Elbe River catchment. The overarching goal is to identify and optimise water management practices that preserve or restore hydrological and biological connectivity. Work will be carried out in the Sub-Project HYDROCONNECT.
We are looking for a candidate to investigate the hydrological connectivity in the Elbe River basin by quantifying the relationship between the dynamics of soil moisture connectivity and streamflow response. This study will integrate satellite-, ground-, and simulation-based data on the landscape water balance with data analytics to understand how variations in connectivity influence hydrograph characteristics, e.g. flood peaks and drought recession. A key objective is to identify and predict gatekeepers, i.e., critical locations that dynamically link upstream areas to the drainage network. The position will interact closely with other partners in SOLVE, particularly in the Sub-Project HYDROCONNECT, where gravity-based terrestrial water storage observations will be integrated with isotopic tracer methods and geophysical monitoring, and coupled hydrological and groundwater modelling, combined with machine learning techniques, will quantify groundwater recharge and groundwater resilience.

The DESY particle physics division has recently launched a platform for scientific computing that fosters collaboration on topics in software and computing methods that are important for the research groups at DESY. One such topic is the design and creation of FAIR data management structures and tools for on-site experiments (among other, ALPS II, BabyIAXO, FlashForward, MADMAX, LUXE, DESY II Test Beam Facility) and also for future collider studies (FCCee/ ILC/ MuCol).The R&D should be carried out using tools that are already widely in use in the international community. Deployment of the ILDG (meta)data and file catalogue management software for one of the FH on-site experminent such as the ALPS II, the combination of this solution with DIRAC and RUCIO, its extension to the other experiment and the possible interoperability with other on-site (meta)data catalogue solutions shall be tackled. The work will be strongly connected to the work on FAIR research and data management done within the PUNCH4NFDI consortium.While the main focus concerns the adaption and development of the software used to process and distribute the data produced by on-site experiments, the applicant will also have the opportunity to participate in the R&D activities of one of these experiment (mostly ALPS II, BabyIAXO, FlashForward, MADMAX, or DESY II Test Beam Facility).The exact scope of this work will be determined taking into account the candidate’s experiences and preferences.

PHD Thesis
Your Job:
Healthy brain function relies on dynamic changes at the synapse. The relevant synaptic turnover and plasticity processes span spatial scales from the molecular up to the network level, and temporal scales from seconds to hours and beyond.
The aim of this PhD project is to build a multi-scale model linking molecular renewal to functional properties of synapses to study the relationship between synaptic resilience and the reliability of synaptic responses. The work primarily involves mathematical modeling and numerical simulation, but also the analysis of experimental datasets for model validation.

PHD Thesis
Your Job:
The PhD position is offered in the context of the HDS-LEE graduate school. We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our world-leading research program in Earth System modelling and improving Earth System Modeling by better merging of measurement data and model simulations.
This PhD project focuses on improving how we estimate key parameters in land-surface and ecosystem models, which are essential for understanding climate change impacts. The work involves reviewing existing modeling and model–data fusion techniques, and developing faster, machine-learning–based tools that can stand in for slow model simulations. These tools will be used to test how model parameters influence results and to make parameter estimation more efficient. The project will apply and evaluate these new methods at different sites and time periods, compare them with established approaches, and finally demonstrate their potential in a Europe-wide ecosystem reanalysis. The outcomes will include open-source software, scientific publications, and a PhD thesis.
