Why this position is interesting
You will support the preparation, execution, and evaluation of electron microscopy investigations on samples from micro- and nanoelectronics. For this purpose, we are looking for a committed Student Assistant (m/f/d) in the field of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
The position offers practical insight into the preparation, analysis, and evaluation of samples from micro- and nanoelectronics. Depending on your interests and qualifications, there is also the possibility of developing this activity into a study project or thesis, for example in the field of ECCI (Electron Channeling Contrast Imaging).

Your responsibilities

• Preparation of samples for investigations using scanning electron microscopy
• Support in carrying out SEM analyses, with the aim of gradually developing towards independent execution
• Evaluation and documentation of acquired measurement and image data
• Support in the structured preparation and interpretation of investigation results
• Assistance with general experimental and organisational tasks in the laboratory environment

Required

• Ongoing university studies, for example in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Microsystems Engineering, Nanotechnology, or a comparable degree programme
• Interest in microscopy, material characterisation, and microelectronic topics
• Careful, structured, and reliable way of working
• Technical understanding and enthusiasm for practical laboratory work
• Good written and spoken German or English skills

Advantageous

• Initial knowledge in the field of scanning electron microscopy or material analysis
• Experience with experimental laboratory work
• Interest in the evaluation and interpretation of scientific measurement data
• Basic understanding of imaging principles, in particular with regard to depth of field, contrast, and visual image characteristics
