Research & Science Jobs in Germany in English (2026 Guide)

As of November 1, 2026, there are 200 active Research & Science jobs in Germany where English is the working language. Each listing on English Jobs in Germany is checked to confirm that English is enough to do the job. The count is live, so it changes as employers add and close roles.

Which cities have the most research and science jobs in English?

Munich, by a wide margin. The live count by place, as of November 1, 2026:

Which research and science fields are hiring?

Almost the whole category sits in one field. Of the 200 live jobs, 179 are Physical Sciences, 13 are Chemistry, 5 are Life Sciences and 3 are Academic Research. If you are looking for biology, pharma or university posts in English, the live supply is small today, so check back often rather than relying on one search.

Which employers have the most open roles?

As of November 1, 2026, The Exploration Company has 19 open Research & Science roles, followed by STARK (13), VÆRIDION (12), Black Semiconductor GmbH (12), Hypersonica (10) and Isar Aerospace (9). Several of these sit in the space, defence and semiconductor corner of the market, so the aerospace and defence and robotics and automation pages are a useful way to see the same employers' other openings.

What experience level do these jobs ask for?

Mostly experienced hires. The seniority mix of the 200 live jobs is 87 Senior, 62 Mid-level, 14 Lead, 6 Entry-level and 1 Executive; another 30 do not state a level. If you are earlier in your career, the entry-level hub and the guide to entry-level English jobs in Germany are the better starting points, and senior candidates can filter senior roles in Germany.

How to search this field

1. Start with the city hub, not the country. Munich alone has about half of the listings, so a Munich search surfaces most of what is open. 2. Search by the field you work in, not the word "research". Many of these titles read as engineering, physics or materials roles rather than "researcher". 3. Check back weekly. The category is small enough that a handful of new postings changes the picture.
