Fraunhofer ENAS develops single components, technologies for their manufacturing as well as system concepts and system integration technologies and transfers them into production. The institute offers research and development services from the idea, via design and technology development or realization based on established technologies up to tested prototypes.
The department Simulation of Semiconductor Technologies develops and optimizes novel production processes for semiconductor and nanotechnologies based on computer simulations. In this department, the group Atomistic Simulation of Materials studies material properties, related atomistic processes (e.g., during deposition or etching), and the link to coarser scale simulation methods. We bridge the gap between basic research and industrial questions.
To expand our team, we are looking for a research associate (m/f/d) in the field of Atomistic Simulation of Materials for Micro- and Nanotechnologies to start as soon as possible.
Independent work on research questions using tools such as molecular dynamics or density functional theory,
Study of application-related research questions related to, e.g., Presentation of research results at conferences, scientific publications, project documentation, and internal meetings,
Acquisition of new projects, both public- and industry-funded.
Background knowledge in semiconductor- or nanotechnologies is advantageous.
Experience in high performance computing using Linux systems is desirable.
You have very solid programming skills (python and / or similar).
Excellent English language skills and basic German skills complete your profile.
An exciting and interdisciplinary working environment with responsibility and room for your ideas.
An open, motivated, international team, flat hierarchies and state-of-the-art technical equipment.
An attractive salary package with special annual payment in accordance with TVöD Bund, 30 vacation days, job ticket and company pension scheme (VBL).
A wide range of training and qualification opportunities as well as the possibility for working towards a PhD (within the scope of available projects).
Optimal work-life balance through flexible working hours and various benefits (e.g. remote working) to help combine work and private life.
This position is also available on a part-time basis.
Appointment, remuneration and social security benefits based on the public-sector collective wage agreement (TVöD). Additionally Fraunhofer may grant performance-based variable remuneration components.
