• Postdoc Position (2y) in Physics-informed Model Discovery for Reaction-Diffusion Equations

  • When
    15 Dec 2025
  • Location
    Roskilde, Denmark

  Applications are invited for a two year postdoc position in Physics-informed Model Discovery for Reaction-Diffusion Equations at Roskilde University, Denmark, from the 1st of February, 2026, or soon after.

  We want to tackle the challenge of model discovery for mathematical models of reaction diffusion type in biology. A combination of analytical properties and domain decomposition techniques will be included in machine learning algorithm for model discovery, providing hypotheses for scientific discussions to applied partners.

• Full Professor (W3) Position in Stress Resilience of Plants

  • When
    5 Jan 2026
  • Location
    RWTH Aachen University, Germany

  We are inviting applications the position of full professor in the area of stress resilience of plants, to be filled by October 1, 2026.

  The professorship will be embedded in the area of plant molecular physiology, focusing on plant resilience. Biological core research areas in Aachen are the Integrated Bioeconomy, Stress Resilience and Computational Life Science. We thus search for a candidate who works at the intersection of cellular or molecular plant physiology and a biological question related to bioeconomy. A focus on plant resilience will be explored (e.g., acclimation or adaptation to biotic or abiotic stresses). Research approaches may combine ecophysiological, molecular biological/genetic, and biochemical methods.

  We place particular emphasis on interdisciplinary collaborations within the faculty, with other faculties within the university and with Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology IME. We encourage involvement in the Bioeconomy Science Center (BioSC).

  We expect that the successful candidate continues to develop an already strong, original, and internationally visible research profile, enabling acquisition of competitive external funds. Teaching tasks comprise theoretical and practical education in plant physiology and the biology of resilience in the B.Sc./M.Sc. courses of study of Aachen Biology and Biotechnology, including contribution to general plant biological teaching in these courses of study. Involvement in academic self-administration is also expected.

  The requirements include a doctoral degree and additional research experience, such as a habilitation (post-doctoral lecturing qualification) or equivalent achievements gained as a university researcher or professor or in a research position outside academia. Teaching ability and dedication are essential and the application should include proof of this. Fluent German is not required to start the position but the successful candidate will be expected to hold classes in German within the first 5 years.
