We are looking to strengthen our team several times a year. As a research assistant, you will work on exciting research questions in solid construction and pass on your experience to civil engineering students in the course of teaching assignments.

As a research associate in the field of solid construction, you will work on application and basic research questions in solid construction in an innovative working environment with modern laboratory equipment. Your tasks will include scientific collaboration in research and teaching in the department as well as independent work and participation in a wide range of research projects on the following topics: Modular and circular construction, reinforcement and evaluation of existing structures, new manufacturing techniques, characterization of component performance using modern measurement methods, high-performance materials in solid construction (in particular carbon concrete, CFRP prestressing, UHPC) or increasing and evaluating manufacturing precision through (partially) automated construction methods.

Many research questions in solid construction are characterized by the goal of more sustainable construction. Research into material-minimized constructions, the reuse and recycling of components and buildings and the use of high-performance or resource-saving materials play a decisive role here. You will use and develop extensive experimental, numerical and theoretical methods for your research. You will present your research results in specialist journals and at national and international conferences and support the department by actively participating in specialist committees and working groups. In addition, you will supervise civil engineering students in courses and scientific theses.

The aim of your work as a research assistant is to obtain a doctorate.

The remuneration of positions for research assistants is based on the collective agreement of the federal states. They are valued at EG 13 TV-H.
