Positions in DFG-Funded Projects

The four research labs of the Cluster of Excellence “Reasonable Artificial Intelligence, RAI” are offering several positions for research assistants – doctoral candidates (f/m/d), starting on the 01.01.2026. The lead university is TU Darmstadt. Researchers from other universities (Bremen, Frankfurt am Main, Saarbrücken, Tübingen, Würzburg) are also involved.

The groundbreaking advances in artificial intelligence are currently based on the brute-force scaling of resources. We, on the other hand, are rethinking and redeveloping AI at its core. Reasonable Artificial Intelligence (RAI) is giving rise to richer, more robust AI systems that inherently possess the abilities to think, learn, interact, and adapt.

The University of Marburg offers several positions in the Cluster of Excellence “Microbes for Climate” starting on the 01.01.2026. The following qualification positions are to be filled:

  • 3 doctoral positions in part-time (65%), limited to 3 + 1 years
  • 5 postdoctoral positions in full-time, limited to 2 years
  • 1 open level doctoral or postdoctoral position with wet-lab or computational focus.

The project deciphers the fundamental molecular mechanisms of microbial contributions to the carbon cycle and uses synthetic biology to develop more efficient ways to sustainably convert CO2. This knowledge will be generated in a scale-bridging approach (from the atomic structure of enzymes to the systems level of the cell) through highly interdisciplinary and integrative studies. Within M4C, Marburg University, the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg, the University of Münster and the University of Giessen join forces. 

For its VARICRIS project at the research department Global Governance, the WZB Berlin Social Science Center is looking for a Predoctoral Research Fellow – PhD candidate (f/m/x) to be employed for three years, starting preferably on 1st April 2026, with 75% of the regular working hours (currently 29,25 hours/week).

You will be part of a collaborative multi-method research team generating cutting-edge insights into decisive contemporary issues in global governance. The Remuneration is in accordance with EG 13 TVöD Bund (75%).

Are you excited about the possibility to explore ethical, philosophical, legal, epistemic or social implications of using machine learning in different scientific disciplines? 

The Cluster of Excellence "Machine Learning - New Perspectives for Science" at the University of Tübingen offers several postdoc positions in our Norms & Practices Lab to be filled as soon as possible. The positions will be filled by highly qualified researchers who investigate machine learning from ethical, philosophical, anthropological or legal perspectives.
