Postdoc Opportunities in Energy Engineering in Germany

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 is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science – Neutron Analytics for Energy Research (JCNS-3). The project addresses the dynamic and structural properties of energy materials and nanostructured interfaces using neutron and X-ray reflectometry alongside complementary experimental techniques and theoretical simulations. The research will investigate the swelling behaviour of Nafion films in fuel cells, grazing-incidence processes in an...

Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to investigate water and magnetic dynamics at nanostructured interfaces within the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science – Neutron Analytics for Energy Research (JCNS-3). The research uses neutron spectroscopy, particularly quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) and inelastic neutron scattering (INS), to study the fundamental physicochemical properties of energy materials and interfaces. A central theme is the diffusion dynamics of ...

The Simons Center for Computational Geophysical Flows at the Courant Institute School of Mathematics, Computing, and Data Science, New York University, is a new research and training hub focused on next-generation computational methods for problems in ocean, atmosphere, and ice dynamics. The advertised postdoctoral fellowships are designed for researchers who want to pursue deep, impactful work in computational climate and geophysical flows while contributing to the growth of the center and to b...

This postdoctoral position is based in the Institute of Zoology, General Ecology research group at the University of Cologne and is part of the project “The Rhine Floodplain – a Biogeochemically Coupled System under Stress.” The project examines how altered hydrology shapes floodplain sediment dynamics, biodiversity, food webs, microbial activity, and greenhouse gas emissions. The successful researcher will develop a mechanistic framework connecting hydrological drivers with biotic, sedimentary,...

The postdoctoral researcher will join the TransMoP project, which examines how land degradation and climate change shape human mobility and staying in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan . Based at the Leibniz Institute of Agricultural Development in Transition Economies (IAMO) in Halle, the successful candidate will lead the project’s geospatial analyses and work at the intersection of remote sensing, environmental change, and migration-related research. The role focuses on assessing water stress , veget...

Senckenberg Society for Nature Research in Frankfurt am Main is recruiting for the VEBITA project, a transdisciplinary research programme at the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre focused on how animal movement data can inform understanding of behavioural adaptability and conservation responses to environmental change. The opening comprises two postdoctoral research positions in movement ecology , a data scientist , and a scientific coordinator . The postdoctoral researchers wi...

The Carl Zeiss Stiftung Independent Research Group on High-End Climate Risks at the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to help build usable climate risk estimates at impact-relevant scales. The project focuses on understanding worst-case climate outcomes, especially unprecedented and compounding extremes, and how they translate into societal impacts across sectors such as health, food, energy, and finance. The postholder will work at the intersection of ...

At the Leibniz Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) in Kühlungsborn, Germany, a full-time postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Modelling of Atmospheric Processes. The project, “Drivers of D-region ionosphere variability above the Baltic Sea region” , is part of the collaborative initiative Atmospheric Impact on the R-Mode Positioning System , involving IAP, the University of Greifswald, the DLR Institute for Solar-Terrestrial Physics, the DLR Institute of Communications and ...
