Research position within a European research training network (Oldenburg)
Written by Suleman Shahid
Sunday, 26 February 2006
until
28th February 2006
The University of Oldenburg (Division Microrobotics and Control Engineering,
Dept. of Computing Science) offers a
research position within a European
research training network,
full time, net salary about 2000 € / month,
starting 1st June 2006 and limited to 1 year.
Only researchers of
non-German nationality and
1) with more than 4 years of research experience
(full-time equivalent), counting from the time the diploma was obtained, or
2) with PhD degree are eligible to participate in this program.
The
trainee has to participate in the development of a microrobot-based
nanocharacterization station inside a scanning electron microscope. New
approaches for nanoindentation measurements require compact setups using
microrobots in combination with piezoresistive AFM probes. For this reason,
different methods of material characterization on the nanoscale, especially by
using an AFM probe as a nanoindenter, have to be investigated. Work focuses on
both the implementation of custom-made nanocharacterization devices as well as
the development of an automatic control system for the station's microrobots.
One of the aspired applications is measuring and evaluating mechanical
properties of adhesive joints.
We are particularly interested in
qualified applicants with relevant research experience (more than 10 research
publications) or PhD degree both in mechanical engineering AND robot control and
automation. Applicants with professional experience in software development will
be favoured. Knowledge of research issues in microrobotics and some control of
the German language would be advantageous.
The position is not suitable
for part-time work.
The Network strongly encourages women to apply.
According to § 21, para. 3, NHG, female applicants of equal qualification will
be given preferential consideration. Severe handicaped persons of equal
qualification and suitability for the position will be preferentially
employed.
Applications (CV, copies of certificates) have to be sent until
28th February 2006 to the Head of the Division, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Fatikow,
University of Oldenburg, Dept. of Computing Science, Div. of Microrobotics,
D-26111 Oldenburg, Germany, or by email:
