Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft invites you to conduct your thesis in the research and development of sorting and detection systems for biomedical microparticles. You will tackle interdisciplinary questions at the interface of physics, biology, medical technology, and engineering.
What You'll Do
- Develop the physical foundations of the specific problem, derive suitable solution approaches, and translate them into application.
- Work on the electrical control of microfluidic systems, the integration of photonics, or the methodology for developing sorting systems.
- Focus on thesis topics such as developing an optofluidic measurement system for inline quality control of biological cells.
- Focus on thesis topics such as developing an electrofluidic sorting system for fractionation of biomarker samples.
- Focus on thesis topics such as developing a multi-channel analysis system for multiplex diagnostics.
What We're Looking For
- Enrollment in studies of physics, electrical engineering, biotechnology, medical technology, nanotechnology, or a comparable discipline.
- Very good to good academic performance.
- Basic knowledge in electronics, medical technology, or microfluidics.
- Enjoyment of interdisciplinary questions.
- A systematic and independent way of working combined with creativity, hands-on mentality, and strong communication skills.
Team & Environment
You will be accompanied by experienced scientists from various departments.
Benefits & Compensation
- Remuneration for the thesis.
- Flexible working hours (flextime) for optimal compatibility of studies and job.
- Individual supervision throughout the entire duration of the thesis.
- Participation in exciting and innovative research and industrial projects, including in cooperation with the University of Duisburg-Essen.
- Excellent public transport and car connections.
Work Mode
This role is onsite.
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, worldview, disability, and sexual orientation and identity.
