Multifunctional Dielectric Elastomer components
The Institute of
Semiconductors and Microsystems (IHM) at the TU Dresden, Dresden, Germany
anticipates two PhD openings to develop multifunctional dielectric elastomer dielectric
elastomer materials and related production technology for soft robotic
applications. The IHM (https://tu-dresden.de/ing/elektrotechnik/ihm) is a multidisciplinary research lab
developing polymeric microsystems and their applications, nanocomposites for
stretchable electronics, electromechanical, and photonic devices. Both PhD
positions will be associated with the Emmy Noether
Junior Research Group "MEiTNER - Multifunctional
dielectric elastomer electronics for next generation soft robotics", led
by Dr. E.-F. Markus Henke.
The position will
give the candidates opportunity to obtain further academic qualification
(e.g. PhD). Both positions are fixed for 3 years.
POSITION REQUIREMENTS
Required qualification and
experience include:
1.
Above-average university degree in the fields of
electrical engineering, microsystems technology, chemical engineering, material
science or related disciplines and experience in the fields of technology
development in microsystems technology, biomimetics, soft robotics;
2. Ability to work
independently and goal-oriented; high commitment; fluent in English language as
well as passion and interest in practice-oriented, interdisciplinary
collaboration with project partners.
3. Willingness to
travel internationally is required.
4. Experience in
fields of microsystems engineering, bio- or continuum mechanics, micro
technologies and design of circuits is an advantage.
