Are you fascinated by how China is reshaping the global order — and want to research it systematically? Our Research Training Group (RTG) brings together scholars from Economics, Political Science, and Area Studies at the University of Göttingen and the Kiel Institute for the World Economy to examine China’s geoeconomic rise in international politics. We study how China accumulates and exercises structural power across four interconnected domains: security, production of goods and services, finance and credit, and knowledge and information — and how states, firms, and societies respond. The framework of structural power, rooted in international political economy, gives your research a theoretically rigorous and policy-relevant foundation. Whether your background is in quantitative methods, qualitative research, or both, you will find a home here. A particular strength of our group is working with innovative data sources, including Chinese-language materials — giving you the opportunity to contribute original empirical findings where systematic data is still scarce.
 
Your research will be situated within one of our 15 Focus Areas, grouped into five Research Clusters — giving your PhD project a clear thematic home while connecting it to a broader intellectual agenda — spanning China’s role in regions along the Belt and Road, in Africa, Eurasia, and Europe. While each Research Cluster has its own thematic focus, they are designed to speak to each other, and many projects productively bridge two or more clusters.
 
As a PhD researcher, you will design and carry out your own original PhD project within this broader framework. You will engage with cutting-edge debates, develop advanced methodological skills, and join a cohort of researchers working on one of the most consequential topics in contemporary international relations. Our goal is to gain a systematic understanding of China’s geoeconomic rise by using an innovative international political economy approach which explores how China’s structural power accumulates.
 
What we offer
 Joining our RTG means becoming part of a dynamic, internationally connected research community at one of Europe’s largest centers for social science research on Asia. Here is what you can expect:

• Your own PhD project — supervised personally and tailored to your disciplinary background and research goals
• A stimulating intellectual environment — regular exchange with leading scholars and practitioners in international political economy, China studies, and related fields
• Interdisciplinary training — through collaborative coursework bridging Economics, Political Science, and Area Studies
• An international network — with opportunities for research stays abroad through the University of Göttingen’s and the Kiel Institute’s global partnerships
• Dedicated career development and mentorship — to prepare you for academic and non-academic careers
• A welcoming, diverse community committed to equal opportunities — we actively encourage applications from underrepresented groups

 The RTG is hosted at the University of Göttingen and its Centre for Modern East Asian Studies, which together form a hub for social science research on Asia in Europe.
 
Who we are looking for
 We welcome applications from curious, ambitious researchers who want to make an original contribution to understanding China’s role in the world. You should bring:

• A completed Master’s degree (or equivalent, graded good or very good) in a relevant discipline — including Economics, Political Science, International Relations, Asian or China Studies, Development Studies, Global Governance, International Security, Agricultural Studies, or related fields
• Strong methodological skills, quantitative or qualitative, suited to your chosen Focus Area
• Fulfillment of the requirements to the Doctoral Program for your discipline at the University of Göttingen: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/54551.html
• Fluency in written and spoken English (the RTG’s working language); advanced knowledge of the Chinese language will be an asset (and will be required for some positions)
• A self-designed, innovative, and feasible research proposal that makes a clear contribution to one or more of our Research Clusters (see below)

 Please submit the following in English (required for CV, motivation letter and research proposal) or German as PDFs:

• CV
• Motivation letter (max. 1 page) explaining why you want to pursue your PhD within this RTG
• Research proposal outline (max. 2 pages) addressing a specific Focus Area — you may submit up to two proposals and indicate an interest in altogether three Focus Areas

Im Rahmen Ihres Aufgabenspektrums obliegt Ihnen nach einer angemessenen Einarbeitungszeit die wissenschaftliche Bearbeitung eines Teiles des von der Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung geförderten Forschungsprojektes Circularity Engineering and Law – CircEL (https://uni-freiburg.de/circel/).

Die Prozessauswahl ist neben der Spezifizierung von Funktionen, der geometrischen Auslegung, der Spezifizierung von Bauteilen und der Werkstoffauswahl eine der Kernaufgaben des Produktentwicklungsprozesses. Heutige Prozessauswahlmethoden und dazugehörige Softwarelösungen sind auf die Auswahl der für die Neuherstellung von Produkten notwendigen Fertigungsverfahren beschränkt und bedienen somit die heutige lineare Wirtschaftslogik.

Circularity Engineering hingegen beschreibt die ingenieurwissenschaftliche Seite der „Circular Economy“, wobei Zirkularität als Weg zur Nachhaltigkeit verstanden und optimiert wird. Im Rahmen der ausgeschriebenen Stelle soll eine „Circularity Engineering“-Methode für die Prozessauswahl entwickelt werden. Ziel ist, schon bei der Produktentwicklung nicht nur Fertigungsverfahren für die Neuherstellung sondern auch hier schon Prozesse für längere und intensivere Nutzung von Produkten (z.B. Wartung & Reparatur), für Rückgewinnung von Produkten und Bauteilen (z.B. Remanufacturing & Refurbishment) sowie Schließung von Materialkreisläufen (z.B. Recycling & Kompostierung) spezifiziert werden können. Zur Methodenentwicklung sollen aus den Nachhaltigkeitswissenschaften stammende transformative und transdisziplinäre Forschungsansätze genutzt werden. Da Prozessdatenbanken hauptsächlich Fertigungsverfahren für die Neuherstellung von Produkten enthalten, ist es auch Teil des Projekts, literaturbasiert und durch die empirische Datensammlung in der Industrie, die zu erwartenden Datenlücken zu verkleinern. Somit sollen die im Projekt erarbeiteten Methoden am Ende einen Beitrag zur Verbreitung und Normalisierung von zirkulärer Produktentwicklung in der Industrie leisten. Der Austausch und Dialog mit den Kolleginnen und Kollegen aus der rechtswissenschaftlichen  Fakultät komplementieren die Projektaufgaben zur Reduzierung von technischen als auch juristischen Barrieren für eine wirksame und umsetzbare Kreislaufwirtschaft.

Folgendes Anforderungsprofil ist erwünscht:

• ein überzeugend abgeschlossenes wissenschaftliches Hochschulstudium in den Fächern Sustainable Systems Engineering, Maschinenbau, Materialwissenschaften oder einer verwandten Fachrichtung mit ingenieurwissenschaftlichem Bezug (Dipl.-Ing., M. Sc.),
• fundiertes Wissen im Bereich der Fertigungs- und Produktionstechnik,
• Grundkenntnisse im Bereich Circular Economy, Nachhaltigkeit und Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung,
• sehr gute deutsche und englische Sprachkenntnisse sowie Engagement, selbstständige Arbeitsweise, Eigeninitiative und Teamfähigkeit.
• Interesse an der interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit mit Kolleg*innen aus den Rechtswissenschaften und an der transdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit mit Industriepartnern wird vorausgesetzt.

Das INATECH befindet sich in einer spannenden Aufbauphase und sucht weitere Wissenschaftler*innen, die aktiv zur weiteren Entwicklung beitragen und mitgestalten. Im Rahmen Ihrer Mitarbeit am INATECH ist die Möglichkeit zur Promotion gegeben und wird ausdrücklich gefördert. Bewerber*innen mit Kindern und junge Eltern sind herzlich willkommen.

Wir bieten Ihnen:

• ein vielfältiges und abwechslungsreiches Tätigkeitsfeld
• eine kollegiale und freundliche Arbeitsatmosphäre in einem jungen Team am Lehrstuhl
• ein tolles interdisziplinäres Forschungsteam im Projekt CircEL

Job profile:

The Max Born Institute invites applications for a PhD student (f/m/d) position within the Collaborative Research Centre 1477 “Light-Matter Interactions at Interfaces” (LiMatI), funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). 

The project focuses on the ultrafast response of dielectric materials driven by intense laser fields. The central goal is to understand how strong laser excitation induces ionization, plasma formation, nonlinear optical effects, and modifications of material properties on ultrafast timescales ranging from attoseconds to picoseconds. The research combines fundamental studies of laser-matter interactions with advanced optical characterization techniques and is relevant for applications such as precision laser nanostructuring.

The doctoral researcher will work with ultrafast laser systems and implement advanced time-resolved optical measurement approaches for studying laser-induced material dynamics over a broad temporal range. One part of the project focuses on field-resolved and phase-sensitive measurements for investigating sub-cycle electron and plasma dynamics in strongly excited materials. A complementary part involves coherent diffractive imaging and holographic techniques for the spatio-temporal characterization of transient laser-induced modifications and refractive-index changes on longer timescales. By combining these approaches, the project aims to characterize and understand laser-induced material modifications with unprecedented spatio-temporal detail.

The work will involve experimental implementation, optical setup development, numerical data analysis, and modeling.

Requirements:

Applicants must hold a Master’s or Diploma degree in physics, optical sciences, materials science, or a closely related field.

At the Center for Molecular Bioengineering (B CUBE), the Chair of BioNano-Tools offers, subject to the availability of resources, a position as

Research Associate / PhD Student (m/f/x)
for a MSCA-DN project 

starting October 1, 2026. The position is initially limited to 24 months max. until November 30, 2028. An extension to allow completion of the PhD project is intended. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz – WissZeitVG). The PhD student will receive a salary, including a living allowance, a mobility allowance and a family allowance (if eligible). Applicants may be of any nationality. However, at the date of recruitment, the applicant must not have resided or carried out his/her main activity (work, studies etc.) in Germany for more than 12 months in the last 3 years immediately prior to the recruitment.

Tasks: (i) biochemical preparation of motor proteins, (ii) setup of in vitro motility assays, (iii) development of strategies to mechanically couple molecular motors, (iv) dynamic acquisition of motor-driven movement by high-resolution fluorescence microscopy and/or magnetic/optical tweezers, (iv) quantitative image processing, data analysis and modeling.

The project is funded by the MARIE SKŁODOWSKA CURIE ACTIONS (MSCA) Doctoral Network (DN) MOtorized NAnomachines: fundamentaLs, InnovationS, Applications (MONALISA) within the Horizon 2020 Program of the European Commission [https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101169136]. DN MONALISA, a consortium of nine partners composed of high-profile universities, research institutions and companies located in Europe, will train 15 doctoral candidates in a highly innovative and interdisciplinary scientific network. Scientifically, artificial molecular machine research and technologies are critical fields with the potential to offer significant benefits to chemical synthesis, medical technologies and treatment, smart materials, and nanotechnology. However, due to their novelty, there is a shortage of specialists in this sector, resulting in limited research manpower. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions program, the MONALISA project will bring together specialists, Nobel laureates, prestigious institutions, and various non-academic partners to develop and implement an innovative training program for doctoral candidates. This extensive, in-depth training from expert researchers will enable the candidates to gain a deep understanding of the field and transform their findings into innovative solutions.

In this research project, the PhD student will aim to reconstitute artificial systems that mimic the oscillatory behavior observed in biological processes. Thereby, the focus will be on designing and investigating systems (i) that involve the bidirectional movement of cargo bound to motor proteins with opposite polarities along microtubules and/or (ii) where two or more microtubules are moved relative to each other by motor proteins, effectively cross-linking these filaments. To delve deeper into the underlying mechanisms, the PhD student will employ various strategies to link and couple motor proteins together within synthetic engineered systems. This may involve introducing mechanical constraints, such as restoring forces, to the system. The PhD student will investigate the minimal set of components that are needed to generate robust oscillations. The outcomes of this research will offer valuable insights for designing innovative, nanoscale systems with controllable, oscillatory behavior. 

The key tasks of the PhD student are: (i) to manage and carry out research projects, (ii) to attend and participate in research and training activities within the MONALISA network and local courses, (iii) to write scientific articles and a PhD thesis, as well as (iv) disseminate research in the scientific community.

Requirements:

• Applicants should hold a university degree (MSc or equivalent) in in the field of biology, (bio)physics, (bio)chemistry or (bio)engineering and have excellent English skills. 
• Applicants should be ambitious, curious, creative, energetic and bright minds with a strong eagerness to take part in the research and training activities of this project. Candidates will be integrated in an international multi-disciplinary team and shall therefore have excellent personal skills and be able to work in a team.
• The position will be located in Dresden, Germany. Secondments to national and international partner groups are envisioned. 
• Applicants must, at the date of recruitment, have NOT yet been awarded the doctoral degree and have to be in the first 4 years (full time equivalent) of their research career. 

A career development plan for the PhD student will be prepared in accordance with his/her supervisor and will include training, planned secondments and outreach activities in partner institutions of the network.

We offer: 

• the opportunity for engaging and independent work within a flat hierarchy, in an open-minded team and supportive atmosphere
• flexible arrangements for work hours to support a good work-life balance
• 30 days of vacation per year (based on a 5-day workweek)
• extensive opportunities for professional development and continuing education

Project

Join a research initiative in the field of Industry 4.0 and cyber-physical systems. The aim of the project is to develop a digital twin for precoat filtration processes and to use it within a model predictive control framework. Precoat filtration is an industrially established separation process in which, in particular, the optimal dosing of filter aids and the prediction of process behavior are still not yet sufficiently understood. The project will develop a mechanistic model that uses real-time data to describe future process behavior and make it usable for optimized process operation. The focus is on the modeling, numerical implementation, and control-oriented use of this digital twin. This includes the development of efficient simulation methods, the integration of measurement data for state reconstruction, and the implementation of model predictive control strategies with regard to operating costs, energy consumption, and product quality. The work will be carried out in close cooperation with an experimentally oriented partner research group and will combine methodological research with industrially relevant applications.

Your Profile

You have completed an above-average Master’s degree in process engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, technical mathematics, or a related field. We expect knowledge of mathematical modeling, numerical simulation, or control engineering, as well as programming experience, for example in Matlab or Python. Initial experience with partial differential equations, optimization methods, or model-based control concepts is an advantage. You work independently and analytically and are interested in interdisciplinary research at the interface of modeling, data integration, and process control.

Our Offer

The position is available at the earliest possible date and is suitable for pursuing a doctorate. You will work in a scientifically demanding yet application-oriented research environment with a close connection to current questions of digitalization in process engineering. You can expect a diverse research project at the interface of modeling, data integration, and control, as well as collaboration with an experimentally oriented partner research group and strong industrial relevance. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference in cases of otherwise essentially equal suitability, ability, and professional performance. TUM aims to increase the proportion of women and therefore expressly encourages qualified women to apply.

Project Overview
The PhD project addresses a fundamental question in motor neuroscience: how do parallel thalamocortical pathways — involving both the classical motor thalamus and higher-order nuclei such as the dorsal pulvinar — contribute to visually guided motor adaptation, and what goes wrong when these pathways are damaged?

The successful candidate will work across two complementary experimental arms of the project: a clinical arm at the UMG, characterising visuomotor adaptation deficits in stroke patients with thalamic lesions, and a macaque arm at the DPZ, recording from and perturbing the dorsal pulvinar–premotor pathway in monkeys performing the same visuomotor rotation (VMR) task. A complementary line of macaque experiments targeting the motor thalamus runs in parallel at the partner lab in Israel, and the student will engage closely with that work through joint analyses.

The project is jointly supervised by Prof. Dr. Melanie Wilke (Department of Cognitive Neurology, UMG, https://cognitive-neurology.umg.eu) and Dr. Igor Kagan (Decision and Awareness Group, DPZ, https://www.dpz.eu/dag), in a collaboration with Prof. Dr. Yifat Prut (Hebrew University of Jerusalem). Funding is provided by the VolkswagenStiftung and the Niedersächsisches Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kultur within the "Research Cooperation Lower Saxony – Israel" programme. 

The research will involve:
Human/clinical experiments at UMG:
•    Deep sensorimotor phenotyping of patients with thalamic stroke, including VMR reaching tasks
•    MRI-based lesion reconstruction and voxel-based lesion–symptom mapping to relate behavioural deficits to specific thalamic nuclei (motor thalamus, dorsal pulvinar), and resting-state fMRI to characterise lesion-related network disruption 
Macaque experiments at DPZ:
•    Behavioural training of macaques on the same VMR task used in patients
•    MRI-guided targeting of the dorsal pulvinar and dorsal premotor cortex (PMd), with functional mapping via electrical microstimulation
•    High-density electrophysiological recordings from dorsal pulvinar and PMd during task 
•    Causal perturbation of the pulvinar–PMd pathway using epoch-specific microstimulation 
•    Advanced analysis of single-unit and neural populations

Qualifications
We seek a highly motivated candidate with:
•    A Master's degree in neuroscience, cognitive science, medicine, biomedical engineering, psychology, biology, physics or a related field
•    Genuine interest in working across both human and non-human primate models — the project is translational, and willingness to engage with both is essential
•    Programming skills (MATLAB, Python, or R) and experience with quantitative data analysis
•    Prior experience with one or more of the following is a strong asset: human fMRI, patient research, in vivo electrophysiology, behavioural training of animals, spike sorting, neural population analyses
•    Excellent written and oral communication skills in English; German is welcome but not required
•    Strong interpersonal skills — the project relies on close collaboration across three labs 

What we offer
•    Employment at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), with joint supervision and full experimental access at the German Primate Center (DPZ)
•    A unique training combining patient research and neuroimaging with state-of-the-art primate electrophysiology and circuit perturbation
•    An active international collaboration
•    Enrolment in one of the Göttingen Graduate School (GGNB) PhD programmes, such as Systems Neuroscience: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/59240.html 
•    A vibrant scientific environment in Göttingen with and a long-standing tradition in sensorimotor and primate neuroscience

How to apply
Applicants should submit the following documents as a single PDF:
1.    A cover letter describing your research interests, motivation, and suitability for the position
2.    CV, including any publications
3.    A list of relevant coursework with the grades

Applications and informal inquiries should be sent to Melanie Wilke (melanie.wilke@med.uni-goettingen.de) and Igor Kagan (ikagan@dpz.eu). Two academic references should be arranged to be sent directly to Melanie Wilke and Igor Kagan. 

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview, including a presentation of previous work.

The research group Ubiquitin Signaling Specificity (Dr. Sonja Lorenz) invites applications for the position as

PhD student (f/m/d) 

– Understanding and manipulating ubiquitin ligase specificities –

Our laboratory aims to understand how the posttranslational modifier ubiquitin coordinates eukaryotic physiology. A major key lies in the action of ubiquitin ligases that recruit specific substrates for ubiquitination and determine the ubiquitin signals they are decorated with. The immense potential of ubiquitin ligases for therapeutic applications has been illustrated by the clinical efficacy of immunomodulatory drugs in the treatment of hematological malignancies and recent advances with PROTACs and molecular glues. However, efficient targeting of ubiquitin ligases in the clinic is still limited by our insufficient understanding of their structural mechanisms and integration into cellular pathways. 

We offer a PhD position to explore one of the following research directions: (i) The mechanism, specificity, and consequences of cellular small-molecule ubiquitination, building on our recent discovery that drug-like compounds are selectively ubiquitinated by human HUWE1 (doi: 10.1038/s41467-025-63442-x). (ii) The structural mechanism and biological functions of TKUL, a dual functional kinase-ligase that we identified as a novel virulence factor and drug target in Leishmania (doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2025.09.002) (iii) Structural analyses of localization-dependent ubiquitination, combining cell-based analyses with cryo-EM/cryo-ET.

Candidatesshould hold/soon expect a MSc or equivalent degree in a relevant area of the life sciences. Initial experience in one or more of the following techniques is desired: protein biochemistry, mammalian cell biology, or any aspect of structural biology. 

The successful candidates for either position should be curiosity-driven, creative, and passionate about science. A high degree of self-motivation and independence is important, as well as the ability to communicate well within an international, multidisciplinary team.

What we offer

• A stimulating and collaborative international research environment
• Professional development opportunities, skills training, and the Max Planck Society’s online training academy
• Support for balancing work and family life, including on-campus childcare 
• Corporate health management, fitness and sports programs
• Sustainability initiatives and a nature-oriented campus environment, including a biotope 
• On-site cafeteria offering warm meals and a salad bar

About us

Based at one of Germany’s premier research campuses, our research group has access to leading-edge infrastructure in all areas of cell and structural biology, including cryo-EM and super resolution imaging. We are an ambitious international team with English as a working language; knowledge of German is not required. The historic city of Göttingen, located in the center of Germany, offers great outdoor and cultural opportunities, a vibrant student scene, and an impressive scientific heritage.

Position details

The positions should be filled as soon as possible; the exact start date is flexible. PhD students will be funded for three years (with a possibility of extension) and have the opportunity to enroll in one of several joint PhD programs with the University of Göttingen. Fast-track MSc/PhD students are also welcome to apply. Remuneration is based on the TVöD Bund (German federal civil service pay scale), depending on qualifications and professional experience. In addition, public sector social benefits apply.

We are committed to being a cosmopolitan institute that offers a diverse and inclusive working environment with equal opportunities. We also aim to increase the number of employees with disabilities. We welcome applications from all backgrounds.

There are many aspects of this project, that require in-depth research and development, including:

• Can a photocatalytic membrane fully degrade contaminants and how can full degradation be verified?
• What are the most suitable photocatalytic material characteristics for micropollutant degradation in water and what are selection criteria / tools?
• What are the mechanisms behind membrane photocatalysis and how can these be quantified? 

The PhD project will be largely experimental and will begin with an identification of a set of research questions based on detailed literature survey. The preliminary research proposal required for application with a timetable for the four-year research project. Required equipment will be set up and further development of relevant analytical methods will follow. Establishment of suitable models to explain the results obtained drawing of interdisciplinary and potentially multi-scale approaches will be an opportunity to integrate experiment and model.
