PhD Student in Physics of Molecular and Biological Matter

The group “Physics of molecular and biological matter” at the University of Tübingen invites applications for a PhD student position in Physics. The research focuses on applying machine learning strategies to analyze X-ray and neutron scattering data from novel optoelectronic and photovoltaic materials. The successful candidate will develop ML-based tools for surface-sensitive scattering techniques (e.g., XRR, GIWAXS), integrate software into computational environments, and contribute to data analysis and metadata standards. The position offers access to interdisciplinary projects within national and European research consortia, well-equipped laboratories, and participation in the Cluster of Excellence 'Machine Learning: New Perspectives for Science'. The role involves collaboration in an international team, opportunities for research at large-scale facilities, and training in soft skills. Candidates should hold a Master’s degree in physics, chemistry, computer science, or...
