Photonics and Biomedical Technology Student Assistant

Student Assistants (SHK / WHK) – Join Our Research Team

The Chair for Biomedical Sensor Technology is looking for motivated student assistants (SHK / WHK) to join our team and contribute to research and teaching activities at the interface of physics, engineering, and material science.

Positions are available for up to 10 hours per week with flexible working hours compatible with your studies.

We have multiple open positions available.

Open areas

Laboratory Research: Assist with experimental setups, optical systems, and measurement equipment in ongoing research projects.
Data & Signal Analysis: Work on signal processing, image processing, deep neural networks, and real-time data analysis and visualization (background in physics, EE, or computer science).
Graphics & CAD: Create scientific visualizations, 3D renderings, and CAD models for research, publications, and presentations.
Teaching Support: Help prepare lecture materials and assist in supervising laboratory courses (Electrical or Biomedical Engineering preferred).
IT Infrastructure: Support maintenance of the institute’s website, design of data managment structures and workflows with elabFTW under consideration of FAIR principles.
Market Research: Contribute to technology and market analysis in biophotonics (marketing, innovation management, or medical economics).
