Research Assistant Modeling and Simulation (Part time) (m/w/d)
At the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, we may not be developing swords against the dark side of the Force, but our developments often sound like science fiction. This is because we are shaping the technologies and processes for the future of digital production, packaging and scanning technology and many other laser-based applications, such as 3D printing.
The “Data Science and Metrology” department is made up of an interdisciplinary team that works closely together in the three groups “Process Sensors and Systems Engineering”, “Material Analytics” and “Computational Methods”. The “Computational Methods” group addresses the topics of design, modeling and simulation of laser beam sources, laser systems and processes in laser material processing. In addition to classical methods for numerical multiphysics simulation, we also use modern approaches such as artificial intelligence or quantum algorithms.
To strengthen our team, we are looking for a Part time research assistant in the areas of modeling and simulation. An essential task of the advertised position is consulting in scientific research projects on the modeling of laser beam sources (e.g. for the calculation of the optical properties of semiconductor quantum films as active medium in semiconductor lasers).
