Foundation Models in Astrophysics and Particle Physics (SciFM) in Aachen, Heidelberg, Hamburg and Munich
We seek four postdoctoral research scientists and eight doctoral researchers to join a newly established joint collaborative project Foundation Models in Astrophysics and Particle Physics (SciFM) funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR). The goal of SciFM is to develop large-scale foundation models, aiming for powerful, interpretable and open-access models to answer fundamental scientific questions in astrophysics, particle physics and cosmology. We offer an exciting multidisciplinary collaborative network which includes researchers from astrophysics, cosmology and particle physics in Aachen, Heidelberg, Hamburg and Munich. The selected candidates will work closely with all team members across the participating institutions. Application deadline: December 19th 2025.
