Requisition Number: 74588

Your area of responsibility focuses on the development and implementation of high-precision optical measurement methods for the characterization of special glass fibers developed in-house.
A focus of your work is on carrying out and evaluating functional tests in systems such as testing of laser-actively doped fibers in fiber amplifier systems. You will be responsible for developing new measurement approaches that make it possible to record and evaluate previously difficult-to-access parameters and performance characteristics according to customer requirements.
In an interdisciplinary team of experts from the fields of technology, engineering, physics, materials science and chemistry, you will achieve new world records and innovative ideas. By documenting and presenting the research results in journals and at international conferences, you secure yourself, fiber technology and the IOF a recognized place in the international community.
Applicants who are interested in a doctorate are very welcome.
