Job Summary

This Research Associate position, based at the Institute for Mechanical Process Engineering and Mineral Processing (MVT/AT), focuses on cutting-edge research in particle technology and mechanical separation techniques. The role involves developing and conducting experimental research in mineral processing and process control, with a strong emphasis on digitalization. You will characterize material flows from ore processing, develop structural-process relationships, and engage in process modeling, data evaluation, and digitalization. This is an exciting opportunity to work on projects with German and European industrial partners, focusing on fine grinding or (dry) magnetic separation of ores containing critical raw materials. The position offers a unique chance to contribute to a critical field, collaborate with diverse partners, and integrate your work into an excellent professional network.
