04 PhD Programs – Fully Funded at Helmholtz Centre Potsdam, Germany

Do you have a Master’s degree and are looking for fully funded PhD opportunities? Helmholtz Centre Potsdam, Germany is now accepting applications for several funded PhD programs across a range of research areas.

1. Fully Funded PhD in Glass2Melt Silicate glasses

Summary of Funded PhD Program

Research focus will be on measuring the density of iron-bearing silicate glasses in the diamond anvil cell (DAC) using the novel all-optical method. The results will quantify the effect of iron on the density of multicomponent silicate glasses across the pressure range of the Earth’s mantle, and contribute to the universal silicate melt density model. The successful candidate will further develop the all­optical method in the DAC, and collaborate with Prof. Dr. Bjoern Winkler (Goethe University Frankfurt), Dr. llya Veksler (GFZ), and Dr. Sergio Speziale (GFZ) on the synthesis of the glass and to gain deep insights into the composition-structure-property relation in the silicate glass system.

Application Deadline: 11th November 2024

2. Fully Funded PhD in Causal and mechanism discovery for multi-scale and spatiotemporal data in geoscience

Summary of Funded PhD Program

The PhD position will be hosted in the Earth Surface Process Modelling section at the GFZ and supervised by Dr. Hui Tang. In the section, numerical models are developed and used to investigate a wide range of physical, chemical and biological processes and interactions occurring at the Earth’s surface that are driven by tectonic processes and modulated by climate. The successful candidate will work with a team of partners from the Geomorphology section at the GFZ (Prof. Dr. Dirk Sachse) and from the Complex Systems department at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PD Dr. Norbert Marwan). 

Application Deadline: 14th November 2024

3. Fully Funded PhD in Understanding and preparing for High-Impact / Low-Probability flood events

Summary of Funded PhD Program

We seek a PhD candidate with experience in modelling, statistics and programming and with interest in hydrological extremes and risk research. The PhD candidate is expected to develop plausible worst-case floods, quantify their impacts and develop measures to reduce disastrous consequences. The successful candidate should have the interest and ability to participate in collaborative and interdisciplinary research activities and discussions in the field of hydrological extremes and disaster management. The candidate is expected to closely collaborate with research partners from the JCAR-ATRACE network and with regional stakeholders, and present, publish and communicate research results at scientific meetings and in scholarly journals.

Application Deadline: 17th November 2024

4. Fully Funded PhD in Soil Microbiology

Summary of Funded PhD Program

In Antarctica, soil development begins immediately after the retreat of ice and snow. Our previous research has shown that the terrestrial microbiome reacts quickly to environmental changes, and distinct soil structures and aggregates form. We assume that soil formation processes are initially spatially segmented, with microhabitats developing inside and on aggregate surfaces. To better understand the interactions between microorganisms, soil formation, and microhabitats, we aim to analyze aggregate interiors and exteriors separately. By using fluorescence labeling and flow cytometry, we can examine these spheres in more detail, expanding our knowledge of how microorganisms initiate and promote soil formation in cold deserts like Antarctica.

Application Deadline: 1st December 2024
