Research assistants

At the Institute of Joining and Welding Technology at the TU Braunschweig, Department of Advanced Composites and Interfaces, unsolicited applications for a position as a research associate are continuously possible for an initial period of 24 months. Remuneration is in accordance with TV-L 13.

The research tasks to be carried out are usually carried out within the framework of publicly funded projects. Topic areas are e.g.

§ Interfaces in components made of fibre reinforced plastics and metals

§ Surface pretreatment of fibre composites and metals

§  Process technology for the production of material composites by press joining or primary forming

§  Destructive and non-destructive testing methods for the characterization of material composites

In addition to project management, there are other tasks to be performed in setting up and operating the Open Hybrid LabFactory research campus at the Wolfsburg site, as well as tasks in the area of student support and teaching.

Requirements:

• an above-average degree in mechanical engineering specialising in materials science, plastics technology or chemistry with in-depth knowledge of surface technology
• good written and spoken German and English
• High level of personal initiative, contact and commitment and willingness to work in a team
• Class B driving licence and willingness to work at the Braunschweig and Wolfsburg sites
• Previous knowledge in the fields of fibre composites, surface technology or analysis and adhesive technology is advantageous

The basic possibility of a doctorate is given, the position is not suitable for part-time employment. The university aims to increase the proportion of women in its academic staff. For this reason, women are particularly encouraged to apply. Applications of suitable severely disabled persons are welcome.

How does that fit together?

At the Institute of Joining and Welding Technology components of different materials are joined by means of adhesives. Within a DFG research project we are looking for support for the characterization of adhesives, especially for the description of the curing reaction of polyurethane adhesives under different environmental conditions.

As a student assistant you will carry out measurements independently in our analytical laboratory. Your activities include the following:

• the preparation of samples for analytical measurements,
• the performance of DSC, DMA and rheometer measurements,
• the evaluation of the corresponding test results.

To implement these tasks, we are looking for an open-minded and committed personality with a willingness to learn. You should be:

• You enjoy working independently and on your own responsibility,
• have an interest in cross-disciplinary issues,
• Be proficient in the use of common office applications, and
• ideally have initial experience in carrying out the above measurements (but this is not a prerequisite for employment).

The position is to be filled with immediate effect - duration and scope by arrangement. Working hours can be arranged flexibly according to lectures and exams.
