Working hours:
• 30-40 hours/month
Your tasks:
• assistance in building a low-cost sensor network for the air pollution monitoring
• assistance in the technical design and crafting of measurement devices
Your profile:
• Student in Electrical Engineering or similar with an interest in electrical engineering
• Basics in CAD/3D-Printing/PCB-Design
• Experiences with microcontrollers (e. g. Arduino, Pycom) are desired
• Know-How in soldering is welcome
• An independent, structured, precise and results-oriented work ethos
In extreme scenarios Homeoffice is possible. However, as the job entails a bunch of lab work heavily reliant on in-house devices (e.g., 3-D-Printer, solders), working in the lab is inevitable.
A working laptop will be provided.

One of the highlights of the digital congress #GeoWoche2021 organized by the German Geographical Society was the Climate Crisis theme day on October 7. It kicked off with a central panel discussion organized by Prof. Dr. Ulrike Ohl (Uni Augsburg) and Prof. Dr. Fabian Pettig (Uni Graz) and moderated by Gábor Paál (SWR). The question of what we can learn from the Corona pandemic for dealing with the climate crisis was discussed in a lively and partly controversial exchange by Prof. Dr. Elke Hertig (University of Augsburg), Thomas Loster (former MunichRe Foundation), Luisa Neubauer (Fridays For Future) and Prof. Dr. Patrick Sakdapolrak (University of Vienna).
The panel discussion was recorded and can be accessed online here.
