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.

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 4.3 Geoenergy (Department Geosystems), we are looking for a:This position is part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN) MiningBrines (Multidisciplinary Integration and Networking for Increased Sustainability and Multi-Resources Valorisation of Geothermal Brines). MiningBrines offers an innovative doctoral training program designed to address Europe’s strategic need for sustainable access to critical raw materials (CRM), energy gases (EG), and renewable energy resources.
Within the network, 19 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) will receive interdisciplinary training in geosciences, biogeochemistry, artificial intelligence (AI), and socio-economic analysis. This program will equip them with advanced expertise in reservoir modelling, machine learning, advanced oxidation processes (AOP), and microbial enhanced recovery. In addition, DCs will develop intuitive fluid-chemistry modelling workflows and innovative multi-criteria intelligent decision-support tools, enabling them to drive innovation in geothermal brine mining while collaborating with academic and industrial partners on practical, real-world solutions.
This PhD project aims to decipher the interplay between the chemical alteration of fractured rock and the evolution of its mechanical properties, with application to low- to medium-enthalpy geothermal reservoirs. Using laboratory experiments and numerical modelling, the study seeks to improve understanding of fluid-mediated slip along altered faults, associated seismicity, and reaction-induced changes in fracture permeability.
To achieve this, two types of geothermally relevant rock will be selected and artificially fractured. Long-term flow-through experiments will then be conducted to induce structural changes in the fractures, after which the samples will be mechanically retested. These experiments will be complemented by coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical-chemical (THMC) numerical modelling at the sample scale. Finally, the results will be integrated into hydrogeological reservoir-scale THM(C) models and validated using data from operating geothermal sites.

Scientist / Researcher (m/f/d)
in Atomic and Quantum Physics
and Spectroscopy of Highly-Charged Ions
Part time (65%)
Posting ID: 26.49-4200
Highly charged ions are ideal for research in atomic and nuclear physics, fundamental physics and the search for previously unknown physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. In such ions, the remaining electrons are extremely strongly bound to the nucleus, which makes these systems highly sensitive to fundamental effects. Furthermore, highly charged ions are robust against external disturbances, also due to the strong binding of the electrons to the nucleus. This favours highly sensitive tests of fundamental physics.
As part of the HiTHOR project funded by the European Research Council ERC, the SPECTRAP Penning trap experiment at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt plans to perform spectroscopy of hyperfine transitions in heavy, highly charged ions in order to test quantum electrodynamics in strong fields. Another motivation is to measure the clock transition of the thorium nucleus for highly-charged ions (Th89+) for the first time in a Penning trap.

The Helmholtz Institute Jena (HI Jena) is a joint institution of the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena and the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research GmbH in Darmstadt. The institute is mainly focused on applied and fundamental research at the borderline of high-power lasers and particle accelerators.
We are looking for a
Doctoral Scientist / Researcher (m/f/d)
in Atomic and Quantum Physics
and High-Precision Mass Spectrometry of Highly-Charged Ions
Part-time 65%
Posting ID: 26.50-4200
to be filled as soon as possible.
The mass of particles is a fundamental property, and its precise determination allows contributions to be made to a wide variety of areas in atomic and nuclear physics. The most accurate mass measurements are achieved with individual, highly charged ions in a Penning trap, where relative accuracies of 10-12 are achieved. Such measurements are used in the search for new physics (Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 063002 (2025)), determining the neutrino mass (Nature Physics 20, 921–927 (2024)), and determining excited states in the atomic shell (Nature 581, 42–46 (2020)).
However, high-precision mass measurements have so far been limited to light and medium-heavy ions or medium charge states. A Helmholtz Investigator Group has therefore been established at the Helmholtz Institute Jena, with an experimental site at GSI in Darmstadt, to extend this technology to the heaviest ions in the highest charge states and, among other applications, perform precise tests of quantum electrodynamics in strong fields. At GSI, such ions can be generated using the heavy ion accelerator and, after a deceleration process, made available for ion trap experiments – a worldwide unique combination of experimental infrastructure. To strengthen the Helmholtz Investigator Group, set up the Penning trap mass spectrometer and carry out future measurements, we are looking for a PhD Student to start as soon as possible.

Do you want to pursue a PhD in Computer Science focused on the development of deep learning methods and apply these methods to a critical climate risk factor societies will face in the 21st century? If so, we encourage you to apply for our PhD position within the multidisciplinary, international research training group C4LaNd!
You will focus on advancing probabilistic deep learning models for spatiotemporal forecasting, with the primary goal of modelling multiple dimensions of wildfire risks, using data from both computer simulations and Earth observations (e.g., satellite data). A central component will be the development of improved algorithms, building on recent advances in AI such as versions of diffusion models. You will then apply these methodological developments to support climate change risk assessments. For example, your project will explore the combined impacts of climate change and changes in land use on biodiversity.
Ultimately, your wildfire model is intended to become a component of the dynamic global vegetation model LPJ-GUESS and of the AI world model WOW of the Earth system . As such, your work will also lead to an improved online representation of wildfires in future climate and ecosystem simulations.
Background:
C4LaNd is a new research training group that brings together senior and doctoral researchers from the natural, social, economic and engineering sciences to address the challenges of sustainably using land for the benefit of both people and nature. You will receive a dual PhD degree from KIT and University of Melbourne, including a one-year research stay in Melbourne. Further information on C4LaNd, and the Ph.D. positions advertised can be found at C4LaNd.earth.
This PhD project will be based in the AI in Climate and Environmental Sciences research group at the Computer Science department of KIT in Karlsruhe, Germany.

The Department of Positron Emission Tomography is looking for a PhD Student (f/m/d) to work on the Development and Evaluation of Image Reconstruction Methods for Simultaneous Clinical Dual-Tracer PET Imaging.
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a cornerstone of today’s cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, and response assessment. By administering specific radiotracers, PET enables the visualization and quantification of distinct physiological processes in the human body. However, clinical PET imaging has so far been limited to imaging the distribution of a single radiotracer per scan. In collaboration with the Forschungszentrum Jülich, the PET department at the HZDR has launched a joint research project to evaluate the potential of dual-tracer PET imaging. This innovative approach enable the separation of two simultaneously acquired radiotracers and to provide two distinct images from a single PET acquisition. Within this project, we will jointly develop, adapt and implement advanced image reconstruction algorithms in our in-house reconstruction software to evaluate the feasibility of dual-tracer imaging on clinical PET scanners. The ultimate goal of the project is to translate the developed methods towards clinical application. With the planned installation of a new total-body PET scanner in Dresden, the developed methods will also be evaluated and validated on this clinical system, enabling a direct pathway from methodological development to clinical impact.

For the EU-funded project UPLIFT in section 4.3 Geoenergy (department "Geosystems") we are looking to fill a:UPLIFT (Unlocking Petrothermal Lithologies through Innovative Fracture Technologies) brings together key European EGS industry and research institutions to demonstrate, at Czechia’s leading energy research site RINGEN, how multi-stage Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) stimulation can be efficiently implemented in Europe, while reducing technical, social, and environmental risks.
This includes adaptive stimulation designs for more efficient and safe permeability enhancement and micro-turbine drilling for improved reservoir access. To support this, we will investigate the self-propping behaviour of European basement rocks through laboratory experiments and benchmark these results against acid and proppant-based stimulation methods, and we will compare water-only with proppant-based stimulation treatments in the Bedretto Underground Laboratory. Additionally, we will develop high-fidelity, physics-based Digital Twins to guide stimulation designs, as well as fast surrogate models for real-time operational decision-making.
This PhD position offers the opportunity to investigate hydro-mechanical processes in fractured rocks through advanced laboratory experiments, contributing to a better understanding of permeability evolution and stimulation techniques in subsurface systems.

The Institute for Industrial Production (IIP) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) invites applications for a doctoral research position within the international research training group C4LaNd: Competition for land - Tackling the climate and biodiversity crises through the food, energy and materials nexus. The position is located in Karlsruhe, Germany, at KIT-IIP and will be supervised by Prof. Dr. Frank Schultmann. This doctoral project is embedded in Cluster C3: Rethinking Rural Spaces and addresses a key challenge of the emerging bioeconomy: the increasing competition for land associated with the growing demand for biomass-based materials. Bio-based products such as wood-based construction materials, bioplastics and bio-based chemicals may contribute to climate-change mitigation by substituting fossil-based alternatives. At the same time, their expansion may intensify pressures on land, biodiversity and other ecosystem services, and may create new trade-offs with food production, renewable energy deployment and nature conservation.
The doctoral research will analyse, in a spatially explicit manner, how competing biomass-utilisation pathways shape biodiversity and climate outcomes, with the aim of developing robust decision-support tools for more sustainable bioeconomy strategies. Combining geographic information systems (GIS), scenario analysis and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), the project will assess under which ecological, economic and policy conditions material uses of biomass can contribute to climate mitigation while limiting adverse impacts on ecosystems and rural societies. The candidate will work with spatial datasets, develop and evaluate land-use and policy scenarios, and systematically assess trade-offs and co-benefits between biomass use, food production and conservation. The doctoral research will identify and compare alternative land-use configurations and biomass pathways, and derive implications for land-use governance, sustainability standards and strategic planning in the bioeconomy.
A particular strength of the position lies in its integration into the international and interdisciplinary C4LaNd environment. The project is closely connected to collaboration with the University of Melbourne, especially with research on participatory decision-making for multi-use rural land. Within the training group, doctoral researchers are expected to undertake a 12-month research stay at the partner institution and to contribute actively to the broader interdisciplinary research and training programme.
