Collaborative Doctoral Projects

In collaborative doctoral projects, expertise from several institutes of Forschungszentrum Jülich is pooled to facilitate interdisciplinary exchange and innovative projects.

Program for Collaborative Doctoral Projects

The Collaborative Doctoral Project at Forschungszentrum Jülich enables doctoral candidates to conduct interdisciplinary research at the highest level. The program aims to connect different institutes or institute divisions through joint doctoral projects, building bridges between disciplines and methodologies.

Each doctoral candidate is supported by two supervisors from different institutes. This approach fosters synergies, diversity of perspectives, and outstanding research.

Main topics of the current funding round

The selected projects combine topics from various research fields:

  1. AI-driven exploration of novel materials and material development,
  2. Research on use cases for quantum computing,
  3. Approaches linking atmospheric and energy systems with HPC and AI.

Current status

The selection of funded projects for the 2025 cohort has been completed.
Four particularly innovative projects have been chosen and will now be filled through doctoral positions.

We are seeking early-career researchers from both the national and international scientific community who wish to pursue their doctorate in an interdisciplinary and research-intensive environment.
