Research Assistant (m/f/d)

Supplier: Chair of Optical Measurement Methods for Energy and Process Engineering The Chair of Optical Measurement Methods for Energy and Process Engineering (LOM) established in November 2022 belongs to the Faculty of Machine Engineering (FB4). We are a fast-growing team with a strong focus on long-term, multidisciplinary and international cooperation. At LOM we develop and apply advanced laser and optical measurement techniques to solve challenging problems in the fields of energy and process technology. By developing the necessary tools to address these problems, LOM directly supports (among other things) the energy transition, sustainable mobility to land, air and water as well as decarbonisation of industrial processes. We work closely with a wide range of staff from academic and industrial research groups. The RWTH is certified as a family-friendly university. RWTH offers a variety of health, counselling and prevention services (e.g. university sports) as part of a university health management. There is a wide range of training and the possibility of obtaining a job ticket for employees and civil servants.

As a scientific staff member of the LOM, we offer you the opportunity to participate in various innovative R&D projects in the field of “turbulent, reactive and high-temperature flows”. In this context, by developing and applying state-of-the-art laser-optical methods, you will contribute to a better understanding of different processes relevant to energy and process engineering. Their work area includes the publication of your scientific results by lectures at national and international conferences and publications in high-quality journals. In addition, you support the Institute's apprenticeship by providing courses and student graduates. The activity thus offers a varied range of theoretical, practical and organizational work

Technical studies (master or comparable) in the field of mechanical engineering, physics or comparable fields of study Very good knowledge in the field of thermodynamics, flow, combustion and experience technology You may have deeper knowledge in the field of laser and optical measurement technology (e.g. PIV, LIF, Rayleigh and/or Raman scatter spectroscopy) You are enthusiastic, like challenges and have a high degree of autonomy, commitment and self-initiative You have a very good communication and team skills You control the German and English language fluent in word and writing

The employment is in the employment relationship. The place shall be occupied at the next possible time and shall be limited to 2 years. A further employment of at least 1 year is envisaged. The temporary employment is carried out within the framework of the time-limits of the science-time contract law. It is a full-time job. There is a doctoral opportunity. The grouping depends on the TV-L. The place is rated with EG 13 TV-L. The job description is aimed at all sexes. We want to promote the careers of women at RWTH Aachen University and are therefore looking forward to applicants. Women are preferably taken into account in the case of equal suitability, competence and professional performance, provided You are underrepresented in the organisational unit and, if not in the person of a competitor, outweigh the reasons. Applications for suitable people with difficulty are expressly desired. For the purposes of equal treatment, we ask you to waive an application photo.
