What if your next project shaped the next decade of innovation?

At TWT Science & Innovation, we’re looking for a Research Manager who leads collaborative, international research at the intersection of AI, Data, Simulation, Processes, and Quantum Computing – turning scientific excellence into technological breakthroughs.

Over the last decade, 22 researchers from TWT became university professors. Now, we’re searching for the next mind to push the frontier forward.

About the Role

As a Research Manager, you’ll lead interdisciplinary R&D programs with top universities such as MIT, Harvard, Berkeley, Stanford and ETH Zurich – advancing foundational research in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Simulation, Processes, and Quantum Computing.

You will drive both collaborative research consortia and your own independent research programs, and you will work closely with international funding bodies, scientific partners, and innovation networks. The results, insights, and technologies you develop will be transferred into industry sectors such as Engineering, Automotive, Aerospace, Energy, Climate & Sustainability, and Health.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and manage international research programs across AI, Data Science, Simulation, Processes, and Quantum Computing.
• Build and run multi-partner research consortia with world-leading universities, tech networks, and public funding agencies.
• Identify emerging research opportunities and drive competitive funding proposals (EU & national).
• Advance scientific excellence through publications, methods, algorithms, and novel approaches.
• Represent TWT at major conferences, symposia and scientific panels.
• Mentor exceptional young researchers and foster internal excellence.
• Shape the next generation of simulation-based research and development, including AI-driven and quantum-enhanced modeling approaches.

What You Bring

• PhD or Postdoctoral degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or related fields preferably from a top university.
• Proven success in coordinating international and interdisciplinary research programs.
• Strong expertise in AI, data-driven engineering, simulation-based design, or computational processes.
• Experience with EU or national funding programs (Horizon Europe, DFG, BMBF, etc.).
• Fluent in English and German; strong communicator across cultures and disciplines. A growth mindset, and a passion for scientific impact.

Why Join TWT?

• Collaborate in teams with engineers, scientists, and innovators graduated from world rank top universities e.g. from MIT, Harvard, Berkeley or Oxford.
• Shape the technologies that will define the next decade.
• Work in an environment where scientific excellence meets innovation.
• Flexible working culture, sustainable mobility options, and a deeply curious team.
• A place where research careers grow into scientific legacies

We’re not just hiring a Research Manager – we’re inviting a mind that dares to imagine more.
