Research Associate / PhD Position, Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering

At TU Dresden, Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering, Institute of Power Engineering, the Chair of Imaging Techniques in Energy and Process Engineering offers as of now a position as Research Associate / PhD Position (m/f/x)

(subject to personal qualification employees are remunerated according to salary group E 13 TV-L)

The position is limited until December 31, 2024 and entails 75 % of the fulltime weekly hours. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz-WissZeitVG). The position offers the chance to obtain further academic qualification (e.g. PhD).

Tasks: Development of electrical sensor and measurement technology for the acquisition of flow parameters in thermohydraulic test facilities. In detail, the following work is to be carried out:

• Development of sensor technology for the measurement of two-dimensional gas holdup and flow velocity fields based on a thermoanemometry principle
• Comparative assessment of different sensor variants
• Design of a sensor with miniaturized transducers
• Development, implementation, testing and evaluation of circuit solutions, including solutions with high-temperature electronics up to 200°C
• Functional verification in the laboratory as well as application in thermohydraulic test facilities

Requirements: very good university degree (diploma, master's degree) in electrical engineering, physics or a related subject. A specialization in precision engineering as well as analog and digital circuit technology, high-temperature electronics and a confident handling of or quick familiarization with numerical simulation tools for electrostatic fields as well as analog circuit technology are beneficial. Interdisciplinary thinking, independent scientific work, practical experimental skills and abilities as well as an active communication with scientific partners are indispensable for the successful implementation of the project. A very good basic knowledge of mathematics and physics is desirable. A good knowledge in the fields of measurement and sensor technology, circuitry and precision engineering is also beneficial. You should be able to quickly familiarise yourself with new topics, demonstrate a team-oriented and independent approach to work, and be fluent in the English language for scientific communication.

Applications from women are particularly welcome. The same applies to people with disabilities.
