About this position

Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in Research Data Management and Community Engagement for the PUNCH4NFDI 2.0 project at the Erlangen Center for Astroparticle Physics and its Chair for Astroparticle Physics.

PUNCH4NFDI 2.0 is developing a comprehensive Science Data Platform to make research data management a user-driven service for particle, astro-, astroparticle, hadron, and nuclear physics communities. The postdoctoral researcher will serve as FAU’s main contributor to Task Area 3, focused on services, outreach, and stakeholder management.

The role connects sophisticated technical tools with the practical needs of researchers. The successful candidate will help coordinate user-facing services, improve interfaces, promote service adoption, and explain how LLM-enhanced tools can simplify data discovery and analysis. The position also involves building networks with stakeholders in the NFDI, EOSC, and other national and international consortia.

A major component of the work is identifying gaps between existing research data management services and community needs. The researcher will conduct stakeholder mapping and structural gap analyses, organize engagement activities and training, and translate findings into actionable recommendations for the project roadmap. Technical fluency in research data management and large language models will support communication between developers and astroparticle physicists.

The researcher will collaborate with technical leads from major German physics research centers while engaging with the wider national and international research data management landscape.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Data Science, Physics, or a closely related quantitative field. Demonstrated experience in communication, training, and community engagement within a large technical or scientific consortium is required, as is a solid understanding of research data management and the ability to communicate its potential and limitations to technical developers and non-specialist scientists. Exceptional cross-cultural communication, negotiation, workshop organization, and strategic networking skills are required. Familiarity with data management challenges in astroparticle physics communities is desirable.
