Open PhD-Positions at the Schools

Under the roof of HIDA, seven Research Schools train doctoral researchers at the interface between Information & Data Science and a scientific domain. At the Schools, they deepen their knowledge of data science methods and learn to combine knowledge from Helmholtz research fields with data science methods. Apply now for the next calls.

Three doctoral projects by DASHH

DASHH brings together internationally renowned expertise in structural science, computer science, and mathematics, enabling early-career researchers to conduct experiments at leading large-scale research facilities worldwide.

 Its goal is to train a new generation of data scientists capable of tackling the challenges posed by data-intensive scientific experiments using modern data science methods and intelligent algorithms. Doctoral researchers at DASHH work on topics ranging from structural biology and particle physics to materials science and ultrafast X-ray research.

New PhD projects at HIDSS4Health

Three renowned institutions are involved in the Helmholtz Information & Data Science School for Health HIDSS4Health: the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the University of Heidelberg. Here, a total of more than 40 research groups with a unique research spectrum offer an optimal starting point to solve central challenges in the field of health.

Currently, HIDSS4Health invites applications for new PhD positions at the interface of medicine and data science.
