The Leibniz-Institut für Verbundwerkstoffe (IVW) GmbH is one of the world's leading institutions in the field of composite materials. We investigate and develop the entire value chain of composites "from the scientific fundamentals to the component".

To strengthen our team we are looking for an employee for the competence field "Digitalized Process & Material Development":

Research Assistant (m/f/d)

Your tasks

The competence field "Digitized Process & Material Development" deals, among other things, with approaches for predicting material properties of fiber reinforced polymers by means of simulation. For this, simulation models are developed that reproduce the structural material composition of fibers and polymer matrix. The realistic modeling of structures is a critical challenge, which will be addressed at the IVW by novel approaches. Your research tasks include the intelligent combination of computer-based modeling, 3D X-ray microscopy and, in particular, machine learning approaches. Within the framework of a publicly funded research project, you will cooperate with an industrial company (simulation software). You will have the possibility to do a doctorate.
