PhD Student (f/m/d) for experimental research on the microbiologically influenced corrosion of potential container materials for the storage of high-level radioactive material in a bentonite environment – 2026/112

PhD Student For Experimental Research With cutting-edge research in the fields of ENERGY, HEALTH and MATTER, around 1,500 employees from more than 70 nations at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) are committed to mastering the great challenges facing society today. The Institute for Resource Ecology (IRE) conducts applied basic research into the protection of people and the environment from the effects of pollutants resulting from technical processes of energy and raw material extraction. An important goal is a better understanding of fundamental processes that influence the transport and the accumulation of radiotoxic elements in the geo- and biosphere including the food chain.
