Scientist in the field of fiber drawing technology for active fibers
You are thrilled by both conceptual questions and experimental work in the laboratory as well as the optimization and further development of components for high-power fiber lasers and would you like to help advance the state of the art in fiber lasers? You are a team player, yet willing to meet some tough challenges on your own? You wish to obtain a doctor degree or are interested in post-doc studies? Moreover, you do not mind being involved in projects with defence-related background? Until the new external site in Oberkochen can be occupied by our research group, work will be carried out at our site in Ettlingen.
If this is the case, apply with Fraunhofer IOSB and get the opportunity to become a sought-after expert in fiber drawing technology and glass chemistry of active fibers. The position forms part of the Laser Technology (LAS) department, which develops and evaluates specific photonic materials and components, associated laser sources and nonlinear converters, and optimizes laser systems in the NIR, SWIR, MWIR and LWIR range for various fields of applications.
