Student Assistant (HiWi, f/m/d) – Data Processing and Analysis

The Technical University of Braunschweig is one of the leading technical universities in Germany and offers its employees a wide range of modern, challenging, and diverse jobs. Approximately 3,800 employees work not only in research and teaching, but also in administration, technology, and skilled trades to ensure that our university successfully fulfills its educational mission for over 15,000 students and around 100 trainees through a broad spectrum of teaching and research, excellent facilities, and a personal atmosphere.

The Institute of Structural Design (ITE, Institut für Tragwerksentwurf) works at the intersection of architecture and civil engineering, drawing on robotics, computer science, and mechanical engineering to investigate how digital technologies can shape what we build and how we build it.
As part of the interdisciplinary Zentrum für Digitale und Integrierte Bauprozesse (ZDIB), ITE is looking for a motivated
