Research Manager AI & Data, Simulation and Quantum (m/f/d)

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 and collaborate 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.
