Company activities

Conducting research for a changing society: This is what drives us at Forschungszentrum Jülich. As a member of the Helmholtz Association, we aim to tackle the grand challenges of our times. How can we utilize the potential of artificial intelligence for society and science? How can we decode the human brain? How can we make a success of the energy transition and mitigate the effects of climate change? And how can we facilitate the transition to a sustainable economy in regions affected by structural change? Come and work with us at our scientific institutes, administration, or in research management alongside more than 7,600 colleagues from almost 110 countries at one of Europe’s biggest research centres and help make a contribution to solving societal challenges. Help us to shape change! We offer our employees an international and interdisciplinary working environment on an attractive research campus as well as exciting and varied responsibilities. Cooperation is characterised by collegiality, which thrives on the commitment and enthusiasm of all. It is reflected in appreciative interactions, responsible leadership, reliability, and the willingness to constantly learn from each other. With our family-friendly corporate policy, we support all employees in reconciling work and care. Flexible working hours, the possibility of mobile working, support with childcare and care for relatives as well as counselling in individual life situations are instruments we rely on. We support employees and their families who come to us from abroad with targeted services such as our International Advisory Service. Every year, we have more than 750 openings for apprentices, university students, doctoral researchers, research assistants, postdocs and management positions in science, as well as for young professionals and experienced professionals in science, technical and administrative infrastructure and science management. We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds, e.g. in terms of age, gender, disability, sexual orientation / identity, and social, ethnic and religious origin. A diverse and inclusive working environment with equal opportunities in which everyone can realize their potential is important to us.
