Recent job offers

The Institute of Concrete Structures (IMB) at the TUD Dresden University of Technology (TUD) has been teaching for over 100 years. Today, four Chairs belong to the Institute. The topics in teaching and research range from concrete and steel- or carbon-reinforced concrete in all its facets in experiment and simulation, to sustainability and resource efficiency in connection with building in existing structures, the reinforcement of load-bearing structures to support structures for onshore and offshore wind turbines, railroad bridges for high-speed traffic and structural monitoring. Numerous practice partners enrich the teaching program. Together, research results are transferred into real construction projects at the IMB. The TUD stands for a university culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, appreciation, innovative spirit and participation. It understands diversity as a cultural matter of course and a quality criterion of a University of Excellence. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to use their achievements and personality to work with us for the success of all. Subject to project approval, job advertisement(s) or job offer(s) can then be found here or on the corresponding university-wide website.

We would like to encourage you to send us an unsolicited application now.

Student Assistant (m/f/x)

At the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Institute of Concrete Structures, the Chair of Concrete Structures (Prof. Steffen Marx) is seeking to employ a Student Assistant (m/f/x) (min. 4h/week, max. 19h/week) starting at the earliest possible date. The position is limited until May 31, 2026 with the option for extension. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz – WissZeitVG) as well as the Higher Education Act in the Free State of Saxony (Sächsisches Hochschulgesetz – SächsHSG) in conjunction with the TdL guidelines (collective bargaining association for the German federal states) for Student Assistants and Research Assistants dated February 28, 2024.

Tasks: academic support of the wind energy research group in the ongoing SMARTower project in the area of investigating the load-bearing behaviour of modular tower structures for wind turbines. Possible tasks are:

• Participation in large-scale experimental tower tests in the laboratory,
• Numerical investigations of the load-bearing behavior of segmented concrete towers,
• Evaluation and documentation of measurement and simulation results.

Specific tasks will be determined based on individual interests. This work could form the basis of a project or a master's thesis in later semesters.

Requirements:

• enrolled student at a university
• interest in scientific work and an independent work style
• interest in carrying out experiments and in numerical simulations; previous experience in the use of FE software such as Abaqus or SOFiSTiK is not required
• interest in: concrete segment structures, prestressed concrete, wind energy, experimental investigations and/or numerical simulation

We welcome applications from candidates with disabilities. If multiple candidates prove to be equally qualified, those with disabilities or with equivalent status pursuant to the German Social Code IX (SGB IX) will receive priority for employment.

Please submit your detailed application with the usual documents by May 16, 2025 (stamped arrival date of the university central mail service or the time stamp on the email server of TUD applies) to: TU Dresden, Fakultät Bauingenieurwesen, Institut für Massivbau, Herrn Max Götze, Helmholtzstr. 10, 01069 Dresden, Germany or via the TUD SecureMail Portal https://securemail.tu-dresden.de by sending it as a single pdf file to . Please submit copies only, as your application will not be returned to you. Expenses incurred in attending interviews cannot be reimbursed.
