Offer Description
Our group builds artificial intelligence systems for
discovering new concepts, experiments and ideas in physics. To accelerate this effort, we need your help! We have
several fully-funded open PhD and Post-Doc positions (m/f) A list of concrete potential projects: Development of
modern auto-differentiation (JAX-based) physics simulators for the discovery of new physics experiments) Developing, benchmarking and advancing state-of-the-art AI-driven exploration, optimization, and search algorithms in extremely complex and enormously large spaces motivated by physics and chemistry (RL, BO, Large-Scale Ansatze, …) AI-driven discovery of hardware for some of the most thought after
quantum information technology, quantum-enhanced
microscopes and telescopes , and AI-driven discovery of
new physics experiments to test quantum-gravity and observe
gravitational waves Agentic frameworks (e.g. LLMs with tool-use) for
closed-loop idea generation for physics Other projects are certainly possible too. In general, we believe that building autonomous scientific systems is not just a technical question, but requires understanding and insights from the
philosophy of science . If you are excited to use artificial intelligence techniques for scientific discoveries in physics, send us your application, including a CV, a short motivation letter, the names & contact of two potential references to
mario.krenn@uni-tuebingen.de
.
The opening will remain valid until 28.10.2025 (unless filled before). PhD positions will be for a duration of 3 years, post-doc positions will be for 2 years. Requirements: Master/Bachelor in Physics, Computer Science or related fields (for PhD); Doctorate in Physics, Computer Science or related fields (for Post-Docs). The positions are funded via the Cluster of Excellence (Machine Learning for Science), the ERC Starting Grant ArtDisQ and the University of Tübingen. Salary will be determined according to the German collective wage agreementin public service (E 13 TV-L). The University aims to increase the proportion of women and therefore urges suitable qualified women scientists to apply. The employment will be handled by the central administration of the University of Tübingen .
