PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Biology in Germany

Forschungszentrum Jülich is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Multiscale Neurodevelopment team within the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine – Brain and Behaviour (INM-7) in Jülich, Germany. The team investigates how cortical architecture, connectivity and functional dynamics mature across early life. Combining multiscale frameworks with computational modelling, the research aims to improve understanding of cognitive maturation and psychiatric illness. The project brings together...

The University of Cologne is offering a postdoctoral position in the General Ecology Research Group within the Institute of Zoology, led by Professor Patrick Fink. The project, “The Rhine Floodplain – a Biogeochemically Coupled System under Stress,” investigates the Rhine floodplain as an interconnected environmental system. The research links hydrology, sediment dynamics, biodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions to understand how floodplain processes respond to environmental stress. The succes...

Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH offers a master’s thesis at the Institute of Climate and Energy Systems – Jülich System Analysis (ICE-2), in collaboration with TH Köln. The project examines how industrial biotechnologies could contribute to more sustainable and bio-based production routes in the chemical industry. The thesis will investigate economic evaluation methods for industrial biotechnology production processes. The work includes identifying suitable methods, defining their objectives and f...
