If you are interested to join as a PostDoc, please send a brief letter of motivation to the respective contact person.
Research Associate - PostDoc (m/f/d) in the field of computed tomography and image processing.
We are hiring new team members to explore technologies of the future that leverage sustainable materials, adaptive process technology, robotics, and condition monitoring using artificial intelligence. Become part of the AI production network at www.ki-produktionsnetzwerk-bayern.de at the Institute for Materials Resource Management (MRM).
Explore sustainable materials and technologies! Take responsibility for the research area image processing and (robot-based) computed tomography and develop methods for the application of hybrid materials and components in multi-material design. Your area of responsibility will also include support in the organization, implementation, and evaluation of industry-related measurement assignments. This provides a direct link between research and application of their methods.
If you are interested in this position, please contact us by phone or email or send your application directly to anna.trauth@mrm.uni-augsburg.de.

Postdoctoral Researcher – Acoustic Emission Analysis
For the Researchgroup Condition Monitoring at the Chair "Hybrid Materials" with the Professorship "Mechanical Engineering" at the University of Augsburg, we are looking for a Scientific Associate (m/f/d) - Post-Doc with a focus on Acoustic Emission Analysis.
Our research mainly involves the use of sensor data for process monitoring and structural health monitoring. An important method for this is acoustic emission analysis, which should fall under your responsibility. Your research should enable the development of new concepts for the manufacturing, approval, and monitoring of pressure vessels in the field of hydrogen driven mobility. This gives you the opportunity to contribute to achieving climate and sustainability goals. Furthermore, you have the opportunity to independently explore new research fields and topics.
If you are interested in this position, please contact us by phone or email or send your application directly to the contact persons.

Scientific Associate (m/f/d) – Post Doc Process Monitoring
For the Researchgroup Condition Monitoring at the Chair "Hybrid Materials" with the Professorship "Mechanical Engineering" at the University of Augsburg, we are looking for a Scientific Associate (m/f/d) - Post-Doc with a focus on Process Monitoring.
Our research mainly involves the use of sensor data for process and structure monitoring. We use different sensor technologies for industrial processes in order to monitor and optimise the processes. In addition to sensor data acquisition, you also ensure that the data is further processed in the diagnosis and prognosis systems you develop. Your research will not remain a theoretical concept, but will be implemented directly in the university's own research hall of the AI Production Network or in projects together with industry. In this way, you can make an important contribution to digitalisation in production.
If you are interested in this position, please contact us by phone or email or send your application directly to the contact persons.

Development and testing of sensors based on dielectric analysis for the application of non-destructive material characterization
The aim of the work is to further develop the method of dielectric analysis with regard to sensor design, measurement and evaluation in such a way that it is possible to obtain quantitative information about the material properties of the sample independently of external influences such as sample geometry or measuring distance. After a successful development, the sensor is supposed to be used in a larger measurement setup for non-destructive material characterization.

Development and testing of sensor technology based on active thermography for use as a non-destructive method for determining thermal material properties
The aim of the work is to further develop a novel variant of active thermography for use in determining characteristic values. This should make it possible to infer quantitative properties of the material by heating the sample locally and following the heat propagation on its surface. Numerical simulation methods can also be used for this purpose. This should make it possible to investigate thermal properties of materials non-destructively and without great effort.

Designing and developing a smart sensor for process and condition monitoring
For real-time monitoring, which is a central topic in the working group “condition monitoring” and is already being implemented through the use of ultrasonic sensor, a smart sensor is now to be developed. For this purpose, this work aims to form a basis by enhancing a commercially available sensor of lower frequency with a microcontroller / single-board computer in such way, that it is able to collect, process and forward the data to a central computer via a suitable communication interface. The comparison of the developed sensor with a corresponding commercial system should round off the work.
