Young Excellent Scientist Program

Young Excellent Scientist program (YESP)

The goal of the Young Excellent Scientist Program, short YESP, is to identify young excellent Jülich scientists, aiming for a leadership position in science early in their career and support them in a structured manner. FZJ provides you as a postdoc or Young Investigator Group leader special measures to promote your scientific career path.

This covers:

individual advisory service on funding opportunities
mentoring
coaching and training
nominations for science awards
travel grants
scientific presentations to increase the visibility of this target group

YESP Members and Alumni

Machine Learning for Correlated Matter

YESP member Dr. Jonas Rigo is currently a Postdoc in the Computational Quantum Science group led by Markus Schmitt. His personal research interests lie particularly in correlated matter.

Correlative Operando Studies of Degradation Mechanisms in Electrocatalysis

YESP member Dr.-Ing. Birk Fritsch is currently a postdoc in the team Nanoanalysis of Electrochemical Processes led by Andreas Hutzler. His personal research interests lie particularly in LP-TEM/degradation mechanisms in electrochemical devices.

Materials Interfaces

YESP member Dr. Nicolas Peter is currently working as a junior research group leader in the institute Microstructure and Properties of Materials (IMD-1) led by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Ruth Schwaiger. His personal research interests lie particularly grain boundaries, exploring their atomic structure, segregation behavior, and their influence on material properties and functionality.

Young Investigator Groups at Forschungszentrum Jülich

YESP is carried out and supported by a multidisciplinary panel of institute leading scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich. At present: Prof. Sonja Grün (INM-6), Prof. Olivier Guillon (IEK-1), Prof. Emre Neftci (PGI-15), Prof. Martin Riese (IEK-7), Prof. Stefan Sandfeld (IAS-9), Prof. Birgit Strodel (IBI-7) and Prof. Björn Usadel (IBG-4). Prof. Astrid Lambrecht, chair of the Board of Directors, is the chair of this panel.
