Student Assistant in the Field of Plasma Technology - Vacuum Coating Processes (all genders)

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft ( www.fraunhofer.com ) is one of the world's leading organizations for application-oriented research. 74institutes develop pioneering technologies for our economy and society – more precisely: 30000 people from technology, science, administration and IT. They know: Anyone who comes to Fraunhofer wants to and can make a difference. For themselves, for us and for the markets of today and tomorrow.

WE REFINE SURFACES – AND IMPROVE OUR EXPERTISE. CHANGE STARTS WITH US.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP in Dresden is dedicated to the development of innovative solutions, technologies, and processes for surface refinement and organic electronics. We offer a wide range of research, development, and pilot production options, particularly for the treatment, structuring, and refinement of surfaces as well as for sensors and optical filters.

The working group \"Stationary Precision Coating\" within Plasma Technology focuses on developing plasma-based vacuum coating processes and technologies for producing functional layers using reactive magnetron sputtering. Our current focus lies on piezoelectric and semiconducting oxide and nitride layers.

Do you enjoy experimental and scientific work in small teams? Are you interested in applied research and like working analytically or systematically to find solutions? Are you motivated to explore new technologies and methods and later independently conduct experiments?

To support our team, we are offering a position as a Student Assistant at our location in Dresden-Gruna starting as soon as possible.

Be part of change

Your tasks include, but are not limited to:

• Preparation and modification of vacuum coating equipment,


• Preparation and support of coating experiments,


• Characterization of thin film structures and electrical and optical properties,


• Evaluation and graphical presentation of process data and material properties.

What you contribute

The position is targeted at students in Physics, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical-scientific fields.
Desirable, but not mandatory, are prior knowledge in areas such as vacuum technology, surface design, or in examining mechanical, optical, and electrical properties of thin films. Additionally, you should have:

• Proficiency in MS Office (especially Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and conducting internet research,


• A precise and very conscientious way of working,


• Good German and English language skills, both written and spoken.

What we offer

• Insights into one of the world’s leading research organizations,


• Participation in innovative research projects within an interdisciplinary team,


• Application of theoretical knowledge from studies through practical work,


• Comprehensive support during onboarding by scientific staff as well as highly motivated young researchers,


• A modern, international work environment equipped with state-of-the-art facilities,


• Access to the in-house library,


• Flexible working hours to support work-life balance and possible semester plan adjustments,


• Opportunity to write a study or final thesis.

The position is temporary. However, we are interested in long-term collaboration. The monthly working hours amount to 20–30 hours, which can be flexibly arranged. Presence on 1-2 days per week is desired.

We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications – regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity. Severely disabled persons are given preference in the event of equal suitability. Our tasks are diverse and adaptable – for applicants with disabilities, we work together to find solutions that best promote their abilities.

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
