Diploma & Master Thesis


Job description:

Your Job:

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

    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.

    Job description:W2 Professorship (with tenure track to W2) for Biological Characterization of Metallic Implants
    End of announcement: 15 April 2025
    Location: Kiel and Geesthacht, Germany
    Please send your application exclusively to bewerbung@mnf.uni-kiel.de.


    The Kiel University and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon aim to encourage more qualified women to take up a professorship.

    At the Zoological Institute of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the Kiel University and at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, Institute of Metallic Biomaterials, a W2 Professorship (with tenure track to W2) for Biological Characterization of Metallic Implants is to be filled as soon as possible in a temporary civil servant position, initially for a period of five years. The professorship position will be filled according to the Jülich Model (secondment model).

    The future post holder is expected to represent the field of "Biomaterial Characterization" in research and teaching and to lead the Department of Biological Characterization at the Institute of Metallic Biomaterials at Hereon, Geesthacht. Places of work will be Geesthacht and Kiel.

    The Institute of Metallic Biomaterials develops biodegradable magnesium-based implant materials. These materials are of interest because they can influence the biological response of cells and tissues, e.g. bone formation or inflammatory reactions, either through degradation phenomena or via degradation products. Additionally, the materials can be doped with alloying elements that contribute functionality such as antimicrobial or antitumor activity.

    The Department of Biological Characterization investigates the effects of metallic biomaterials primarily at the in vitro level. A comparison with in vivo results is possible. The research focuses on the effects of biodegradable magnesium-based materials and their associated degradation processes of the biological reactions at the molecular and cellular levels with a variety of biochemical, molecular biological, and cellular assays. The goal is to identify key elements for the biological functionality of the implant material in order to monitor and control its therapeutic effect in terms of the physicochemical and mechanical properties of the implant. To achieve this, complex in vitro models containing different cell types must be developed, validated, and applied. This allows for an assessment of how the degradation of metallic biomaterials affects tissue regeneration under physiological and pathological conditions. Based on in vitro experiments, in vivo studies are to be arranged and analyzed together with the existing specialist staff. In parallel, we collaborate with computer scientists who develop "digital twins" of target tissues and organs.

    The successful applicant is an enthusiastic scientist with excellent knowledge of cell/tissue biology under physiological and pathological conditions, preferably associated with biomaterials.

    Applicants will hold a PhD in Biology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Biophysics, Medicine, or Materials Science with a strong background in cell biology. The international stature is evidenced by an outstanding research record and the successful acquisition of third-party funding. Candidates with relevant experience in leading a research group are highly desired.

    The research focus must cover one of the following areas:
    - Bone or tumor metabolism under physiological and pathological conditions
    - Immune response to implants
    - Antimicrobial functionalization of implants

    Applications are invited from researchers with a broad portfolio of methodological approaches, particularly in complex cell cultures (project management in accordance with GenTSV), and a strong commitment to foster collaboration with other research groups at Kiel University (Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Medicine, Kiel Life Science, or KiNSIS), and Hereon.

    The professorship is intended to complement the existing teaching of students, i.a. in the Bachelor's degree program in Biology, as part of an elective module, and to cover the field of cell interactions with biomaterials. Teaching is expected to be conducted in German, after an appropriate transition period, if necessary.

    The appointment requirements of § 61 of the Higher Education Act of the State of Schleswig-Holstein apply. Further information can be found on the website www.berufungen.uni-kiel.de.

    The Christian-Albrechts University in Kiel strives to increase the proportion of female scientists in research and teaching and therefore strongly encourages suitably qualified women to apply. Women will be given preferential consideration in cases of equal qualification, competence, and professional performance.

    The university actively supports the employment of individuals with disabilities. Therefore, applicants with disabilities will be given preference in case of equal qualification.

    We particularly invite applications from individuals with a migration background for this vacancy. We explicitly refrain from soliciting photographs/application photos and ask applicants not to submit any.

    Applications, consisting of the standard documents (cover letter, CV, list of publications, list of lectures, statement describing teaching approach and present and future research plans, copies of academic certificates) along with the private and institutional addresses with telephone number and email, should be made (preferably in electronic form) no later than
    April 15th, 2025 to the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Christian-Albrechts University of Kiel, Germany.
    Please send your application exclusively by email to bewerbung@mnf.uni-kiel.de.

    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.

    • 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

    Scientist (m/f/d)
    “Cultivation of micoalgea of different types of phytoplankton for aquacultures”

    starting on June 1st 2025.

    Project Description

    Due to the growing world population, there is an increasing demand for alternative and sustainable feed sources for aquaculture, which are not only rich in proteins but also in micronutrients such as essential polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamins. Conventional feed and feed additives with these ingredients, such as fishmeal, are generally obtained in an unsustainable manner and contribute to overfishing of the world's oceans. Phototrophic microalgae at the base of the marine food chain synthesize essential omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins, which are subsequently enriched by being eaten by higher organisms. The aim of the project is to utilize these properties and to identify and cultivate different microalgae species that complement each other in their fatty acid, vitamin and protein profiles and, in the long term, to develop a fully-fledged and sustainable basic product for various feed-relevant applications.

    Position

    The candidate is going to be part of the joint project “PhytoComplement” of the partnering institutions GEOMAR, the University of Oldenburg and HanseGarnelen GmbH. This project is funded by the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF) through the Federal State Office for Agriculture and Sustainable Rural Development (LLnL)

    Schleswig-Holstein. The partners aim to identify and cultivate a number of complementary types of microalgae and to test them as feed additives for White Tiger Shrimps.

    Tasks include:

    • Shared project coordination including supervision of technical assistant and student assistants
    • Isolation and cultivation of microalgae using bioreactors and aquaria
    • Coordination of chemical analyses of algae components (in-house and through third parties)
    • Processing trials of microalgae
    • Planning and conduction of feeding experiments in cooperation with the project partners and the technical assistant
    • Data analyses and thorough data management
    • Coordination of technology transfer into application
    • Market analysis on microalgae-based feed for aquaculture and agriculture applications
    • Communication of results between project partners

    Qualifications:

    Essential:

    • Master degree in Biological Oceanography, Biology, Environmental Studies or related fields of study
    • Experience in the cultivation of algae
    • Experience in data analysis and data management
    • Excellent organizational and communicative skills
    • Ability to work in an interdisciplinary team and to coordinate tasks

    Preferred:

    • Experience in experimental ecology and in conducting aquatic feeding experiments
    • Scientific background in biochemistry and metabolic pathways
    • Experience in market analyses
    • Interest and knowledge in technology transfer

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

    • Work in the field of marine and climate research, a forward-looking area with social significance
    • An exciting and international work environment with the opportunity to provide important impetus for the development of sustainable solutions
    • Support services for professional and personal life situations
    • Good conditions for work-life balance: We offer, among other things, the possibility of mobile working and individual working time arrangements, vacation courses for the children of our employees, and good support in finding a place in a daycare center at the Kiel site
    • International work environment
    • 30 vacation days + additional time off at Christmas and New Year's Eve
    • Company pension plan and capital-forming benefits

    The position is available for a funding period of two years. The envisioned start is June 2025.

    The salary depends on qualification and could be up to the class E13 (TVöD Bund) of the German tariff for public employees. This is a full-time position. The position can be split under the condition that the position is filled on a full-time basis.

    Job description:

    GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel is a foundation of 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.

    The research unit Biological Oceanography of the research division Marine Biogeochemistry is offering a

    Postdoc (m/f/d) position in ocean biogeochemistry

    starting on June 1st, 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.

    Job Description / Project Description

    The objective of the postdoc project is to analyze global datasets (sediment traps, in situ particle imaging) to improve our understanding of the biological carbon pump in the context of ongoing climate change (ocean warming, acidification, and deoxygenation). We are looking for a candidate with a strong background and interest in ocean biogeochemistry and/or data science.

    The successful candidate will analyze the global datasets with state-of-the-art “big data” methods, such as machine learning and/or multivariate statistics. The goal is to evaluate the influence of changing environmental factors (temperature, pH, oxygen) on vertical particle fluxes from the sea surface to the deep ocean, including the elemental stoichiometry of these fluxes, as well as their remineralization length scales. The results will be used for improved parameterizations of global biogeochemical ocean models, thus providing critical knowledge on how the efficiency of the biological carbon pump – and its regional variability – may respond to ocean change. The tasks of the candidate also include the publication of the results in established peer-reviewed scientific journals, as well as presentations at national and international scientific meetings.

    The postdoctoral project is embedded within the EU project OceanICU (“Understanding Ocean Carbon”, ocean-icu.eu), which seeks to enhance our knowledge about the ocean carbon cycle and the biological pump, involving 30 research institutes across Europe.   The candidate is expected to collaborate closely with other researchers in Ocean-ICU (within GEOMAR and at other institutions in the EU), contribute to interdisciplinary publications, project reports, and synthesis products.

    Qualification

    Required:

    • A PhD in biological oceanography, marine biology, marine biogeochemistry or related fields
    • Experience and very good skills in analysis of large and complex datasets
    • Experience and very good skills in machine learning and/or multivariate statistics or comparable data science methods
    • Excellent English skills (written and spoken)
    • Experience in scientific writing (publications in high-quality peer-reviewed journals)

    Desired:

    • Experience in project management and willingness to contribute to the management of the OceanICU project
    • Knowledge about structure and operation of biogeochemical models

    The Taucher Lab is part of the "Plankton Biogeochemistry and Imaging" group, which is part of the Research Unit “Biological Oceanography” within the Research Division “Marine Biogeochemistry” (RD2).

    Our research topics comprise the spatial and temporal distribution of plankton and particles in the ocean, and particularly their role in biogeochemical cycles. We are particularly interested in the interplay between pelagic organisms and carbon fluxes (e.g. diel vertical migration), how these processes are modulated by environmental drivers, and how they might be affected by climate change.

    Besides classical oceanographic methods, we use modern imaging systems (in situ and laboratory-based, including the development of innovative imaging technology) to observe plankton and particles in their natural environment, from the sea surface to the deep sea. The collected image data are classified using AI/ML methods and are related to environmental data to gain an improved understanding of the spatial and temporal dynamics of plankton communities and carbon fluxes in the ocean.

    GEOMAR is a workplace directly on the Kiel Fjord with many leisure and recreational

    opportunities, we offer:

    • interesting science and access to large scale infrastructure at GEOMAR, as well as the opportunity to apply for ship time for studies all around the world

    Job description:

    GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel is a foundation of 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. The ocean is key in the global Carbon cycle, taking up ca. 25% of the CO2 we emit, slowing climate change and giving us more time to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Unfortunately, the data on ocean carbon uptake that is currently available to us is insufficiently precise to act as a basis for action. The EU project "TRICUSO" will address these needs by a) improving the sensing technologies on floats and small uncrewed surface vessels, b) supporting citizen science on yachts and potentially cruise and expedition vessels, c) integrating biological observations into the work flow, d) improving data flows to scientists, e) evaluating the density of observations needed and f) proposing fit-for-purpose governance structures that will allow researchers to operate within the Global Greenhouse Gas Watch (G3W).

    The research unit Marine Biogeochemistry of the research division Chemical Oceanography is offering a position for a

    Job description:

    The HZI is Germany's largest non-university infection research centre in the Helmholtz Association. Our focus is on cutting-edge research in the field of infectious diseases. Our scientists are working to develop new methods and strategies to combat infectious diseases faster and more effectively.

    Our research group at the HZI investigates the interactions between lung microbes and the host. In cooperation with the Department of Pneumology and Infectiology at the MHH and the DZL, we use clinical and molecular biological approaches for translational research. Our team of twelve scientists works with cell culture, molecular biology, metagenomic analyses and infection biology. One focus is on monocytes and macrophages in air-liquid interface (ALI) models of the airway epithelium. The ALI model enables the analysis of immune cell, pathogen and commensal interactions. We use RNA-Seq, metagenomic sequencing and single-cell analyses to capture cellular and molecular signatures of these processes.

    The master's thesis will focus on establishing precision-cut lung slices (PCLS) as a lung model and optimising molecular biological and biochemical methods for investigating them. PCLS are an ex vivo model that examines lung tissue under physiological conditions. It preserves tissue architecture and cell interactions and offers advantages over cell and animal models.
    The aim is to cultivate and establish the PCLS model to study host-pathogen interactions of pulmonary pathogens with the lung. Inflammation, cell death mechanisms, intracellular survival, cell communication and signal transduction are analysed. Inflammatory stimuli are used to evaluate suitable analytical methods.

    Nuclear spectroscopy of 229Thorium is a highly interesting field of research at the intersection between nuclear and atomic physics, which deals with the properties of an exceptionally low excited state in the atomic nucleus of 229Thorium. This state has an estimated excitation energy of only around 8 eV. Only recently has it been possible to excite this state directly with an optical laser. As part of the HiTHOR project based at the Helmholtz Institute Jena and funded by the European Research Council ERC, this nuclear transition is now to be investigated in detail, which promises unique new insights into the quantum physics of atomic nuclei as well as new approaches for the construction of a high-precision ‘nuclear clock’.

    Within this project, the further development of a frequency comb laser in the vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) spectral range is of central importance and represents the topic of a planned doctoral thesis. In close cooperation with experts at DESY in Hamburg and other collaboration partners, a new approach to realizing a powerful VUV comb is to be pursued, thus enabling direct laser nuclear spectroscopy of 229Thorium.

     

    We are looking for candidates who have:

    Promotion


    Starting date:

    01.09.2025


    Job description:The Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association aims to transform tomorrow’s medicine through our discoveries of today. At locations in Berlin-Buch, Berlin-Mitte, Heidelberg and Mannheim, our researchers harness interdisciplinary collaboration to decipher the complexities of disease at the systems level – from molecules and cells to organs and the entire organism. Through academic, clinical, and industry partnerships, as well as global networks, we strive to translate biological discoveries into applications that enable the early detection of deviations from health, personalize treatment, and ultimately prevent disease. First founded in 1992, the Max Delbrück Center today inspires and nurtures a diverse talent pool of 1,800 people from over 70 countries. We are 90 percent funded by the German federal government and 10 percent by the state of Berlin.


    The Simon group seeks to uncover innovative strategies for extending healthspan.
    Two PhD candidate positions (m/f/d) according to German pay grade 13, are available from now in the group of Anna Katharina (Katja) Simon at the Max-Delbrück-Center in Berlin in the area of ‘Autophagy in the immune system.’

    Job Description:
    Our society is experiencing rapid aging due to lower birth rates and increased life expectancy. While people are living longer, the quality of life—particularly concerning health—has remained stagnant over the past 15 to 20 years. Elevated clinical frailty in older adults increases susceptibility to stressors such as falls, surgeries, and infections, highlighting the urgent need to improve the number of years spent free from significant disease burdens–also referred to as healthspan.

    The Simon group studies the role of autophagy in fate, function and aging of immune cells, investigating immune metabolism, inflammation and immunity. Our work spans molecular and organismal levels, aiming to translate our findings into clinical trials. See Zhang et al, Mol Cell 2019, Alsaleh et al, Elife 2020, Zhou et al Nat Comms 2022, Borsa et al bioRxiv 2024, Piletic et al, bioRxiv 2024 for recent examples. We reviewed this field in Clarke et al, Nat Rev Immunology in 2018.

    The MDC offers a highly vibrant scientific environment with state-of-the-art infrastructure for immunological platforms such as flow cytometry, single-cell transcriptomics, spatial transcriptomics, metabolomics and proteomics, imaging, and in vivo work. Numerous interactions with other groups working in immunology, metabolism, cell biology, and ‘OMICS’ on our Campus in Berlin-Buch are available.

    We are seeking two PhD students to join the UNION project, which is funded by the European Union Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). The Simon-led projects within the UNION program aim to tackle the decrease in autophagic function in immune cells of aging organisms, both in mice and humans, while evaluating their ability to improve vaccine responses in older adults. The Simon group, in collaboration with the UNION network, seeks to uncover innovative strategies for extending healthspan. Selected candidates will spend several months at partner laboratories within the UNION network, which includes sites in Germany and within the European continent. They will benefit from extensive expertise across various aging-related fields provided by the expert consortium of UNION. Participation in this network will maximize candidates’ future career prospects in science and beyond, as they will have opportunities for advanced training and networking environment, both at the MDC and through programs offered in the UNION network.

    Work location: Geesthacht (near Hamburg)
    Application deadline: April 21st, 2025


    We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to investigate the interactions between wind, waves, and sea-surface monolayers. Understanding energy and scalar fluxes across the air-sea interface is crucial for a number of environmental challenges, including weather, climate and sea state forecasting. The Air-Sea Fluxes group at the Institute of Coastal Ocean Dynamics conducts laboratory- and field-based research, by developing and deploying unique, novel high-resolution imaging systems to investigate submillimeter-scale turbulent dynamics in multiphase environments such as the ocean surface.

    The project is part of the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) ?Energy transfers in atmosphere and ocean? funded by the German Research Foundation, and is conducted together with partners from the Universities of Hamburg and Bremen, as well as others. The candidate will use novel particle image velocimetry measurements within the first millimeters to centimeters above and below surface waves, to quantify, understand and parametrize wind-wave energy flux mechanisms. The overall goal of the research project is to develop process understanding and parametrizations that lead to improved, energetically consistent, climate models. Close collaboration with the other research areas of the CRC is expected, and more information can be found at www.trr-energytransfers.de.

    We invite applications for a PhD position in the area of Air Sea Fluxes at the Institute of Coastal Ocean Dynamics with preferred starting date 1st June, 2025. The position is limited to 3 years.

    Equal opportunity is an important part of our personnel policy. We would therefore strongly encourage qualified women to apply for the position.

    Job description:The Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association aims to transform tomorrow’s medicine through our discoveries of today. At locations in Berlin-Buch, Berlin-Mitte, Heidelberg and Mannheim, our researchers harness interdisciplinary collaboration to decipher the complexities of disease at the systems level – from molecules and cells to organs and the entire organism. Through academic, clinical, and industry partnerships, as well as global networks, we strive to translate biological discoveries into applications that enable the early detection of deviations from health, personalize treatment, and ultimately prevent disease. First founded in 1992, the Max Delbrück Center today inspires and nurtures a diverse talent pool of 1,800 people from over 70 countries. We are 90 percent funded by the German federal government and 10 percent by the state of Berlin.


    Arginine-vasopressin (AVP, antidiuretic hormone) induces water reabsorption in the renal collecting duct and thereby fine-tunes body water homeostasis. The binding of AVP to its receptor (V2R) leads to an accumulation of the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) in the plasma membrane of collecting duct principal cells, which facilitates water reabsorption from primary urine. This water reabsorption is one of the critical components controlling body water homeostasis and blood pressure. Dysregulation of this system prevents the plasma membrane accumulation of AQP2 and causes the excessive loss of water, the major characteristic of diabetes insipidus. The millions of diabetes insipidus (DI) patients suffer from passing up to 20 l of hypotonic urine per day. The water loss leads to symptoms ranging from mild such as excessive thirst and cognitive dysfunction to severe such as hypotension, seizure, renal hypoperfusion or hypovolaemic shock. There is no satisfactory treatment DI available.

    The project has two aims: 1) A major goal is the further development of already identified novel small molecules towards drug candidates for the treatment of diabetes insipidus. The molecules promote the plasma membrane localization of AQP2 independent of AVP and the V2R. 2) A second aim is to understand the mode of action of the new molecules, and thereby to elucidate molecular mechanisms controlling the localisation and trafficking of AQP2. This will improve our understanding of mechanisms directing water homeostasis and blood pressure. In addition, the trafficking of AQP2 resembles a cAMP-induced exocytosis; elucidating underlying molecular mechanisms will also shed light on other processes, such as renin secretion from juxtaglomerula cells or proton secretion in the stomach.

    Job Description:
    The project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF) and is a collaboration with the group of Prof. R. Süssmuth, Technical University Berlin. Together, we have initiated a medicinal chemistry and preclinical test programme for the development of novel antidiuretic compounds on the basis of the already identified molecules.
    The chemistry will provide molecules.
    We are looking for a highly motivated candidate to take on the characterisation of the novel compounds in our in vitroand in vivo systems.


    Requirements:
    The candidate requires a strong life science background with interest in drug development. The project involves broad methodology: e.g. microscopic imaging techniques, target profiling by mass spec, target validation by siRNA and pharmacological modulation, characterisation of effects of molecules on principal cells in cell culture and in mice, in particular on AQP2.


    Benefits:
    • international working environment with communication in English and German
    • interesting career opportunities and a range of opportunities for further qualification and training
    • Compatibility of family and career certified by the workandfamily audit (“berufundfamilie audit”)

    Reference Number 10257

    Development of a method for efficient CO2 capture from exhaust gases and coupled treatment of industrial wastewater using gas hydrate technology.

    Gas hydrates are ice-like, crystalline solids composed of gas and water molecules, whereby the water molecules form a three-dimensional network of defined cages via hydrogen bonds. The cages are stabilized by the inclusion of gas molecules.  Gas hydrates form under elevated pressures and at low temperatures if sufficient quantities of gas and water are present. They occur worldwide on continental margins and in permafrost areas, but are also increasingly being used for industrial applications. As part of the ILB-funded joint project “ECO: Efficient CO2 capture from waste gases and coupled treatment of industrial wastewater using gas hydrate technology”, a new method for the use of gas hydrates in industrial applications is to be tested. This includes determining the optimum pressure and temperature conditions for hydrate formation, the separation factor for capturing CO2 from industrial waste gas and determining the reduction of pollutants (degree of retention) in the aqueous phase. 

    Your responsibilities:

    • Independent planning and implementation of experiments to determine the above-mentioned parameters
    • Analysis of the gas phase and the aqueous phase using Raman spectroscopy, ICP-OES and AAS

    Promotion


    Job description:

    Your Job:

    At IET-1, we are studying the CO2 electrolysis for the sustainable conversion of green energy into chemical energy carriers in order to defossilize the chemical industry. The process control and optimization of electrolysis from the cell to the stack requires automated monitoring, analysis, and control of the operating parameters and processes. As part of this project, the potential of high-throughput systems is maximized using design of experiment (DoE) approaches in order to efficiently explore the high-dimensional parameter space of the electrolysis processes. DoE is required for data-efficient exploration and optimization within the process parameter space as well as for adaptive, data-driven machine learning to map the electrolysis process to a digital twin. Data workflows and interfaces (application programming interface, API) for system control are being developed in order to automate both process monitoring and process control. The API-based integration of the digital twin into the process control of the CO2 electrolysis enables autonomous operation of the system, which can differentiate between market-, system- or network-based operating modes depending on requirements. Your tasks in detail:

    • Development of automatized data acquisition and management for process monitoring data
    • Development of APIs for electrolysis systems and analysis devices
    • Implementation of DoE for exploring and optimizing process parameters with maximized data efficiency

    Your Profile:

    • Completed Masters degree in chemical engineering, computational engineering, computational mathematics, data sciences / analysis, system or process engineering, or a comparable field
    • Comprehensive knowledge of data science, data analysis, data management as well as machine learning
    • Experience with data-driven machine learning (SINDY, LASSO, SISSO packages)
    • Advanced programming skills with python
    • Good knowledge of API programming and automation engineering such as LabVIEW and/or EPICS
    • Basic knowledge of electrochemistry desirable
    • Interest in interdisciplinary research projects and excellent cooperation and communication skills as well as team-working skills
