Vacancies

For the Institute of Joining and Welding Technology we are looking for two

Research assistants (post-doctoral researcher, m/f/d) on the topic of the use of AI-supported assistants in die-casting

(full-time/part-time - temporary)

The positions are to be filled initially on a fixed-term basis for an expected 2 years. They are intended to serve the qualification of young scientists and offer the opportunity for doctoral studies/scientific further qualification.

In the department of light metal die casting of the Institute of Joining and Welding Technology (ifs) of the TU Braunschweig, aluminum die casting is continuously developed. For this purpose, the ifs operates its own die casting facility in the Light Metal Center Soltau in the heart of the Lüneburger Heide where the main work also takes place.

Shape with us:

• You will conduct research on the topic of resilient automotive foundries through the use of AI-supported assistants for sustainable processes
• You plan and carry out casting tests (die casting) in the Soltau light metal center
• You develop advanced sensor technology for die casting
• You develop AI assistance systems for process optimization in die casting and integration into a CORE platform
• You accompany investigations at the participating project partners
• You apply for and process research projects
• You publish research results and participate in national and international conferences
• You support university teaching (preparation and implementation of courses as well as supervision of student work).

Your Basics:

• You have a completed scientific university education (Master's degree or equivalent) in mechanical engineering (or comparable) with a focus on manufacturing technology or AI systems
• You have very good knowledge of the German and English language
• You are flexible, able to work under pressure and work well in a team
• You are aiming for a doctorate.

Our benefits:

• pay in line with the collective agreement according to EG 13 TV-L depending on the assignment of tasks and fulfillment of personal requirements
• a special payment at the end of the year as well as a supplementary pension comparable to a company pension in the private sector
• an interesting and varied job in a pleasant working atmosphere with a friendly and motivated team
• a workplace that is basically suitable for part-time work, but which should be fully staffed, as well as flexible working and part-time models and a family-friendly university culture, which has been awarded the "Family-friendly university" audit since 2007
• a wide range of continuing education and sports opportunities as well as a lively campus life in an international atmosphere.

§ 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. Applications should be sent to the contact person mentioned below with the usual documents.
