Technician / Laboratory Assistant in Metallography and Physical Measurement Technology | Metallograph (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This role involves supporting research at the Institute of Fusion Energy and Nuclear Waste Management, specifically within the High-Temperature Materials Laboratory (HML), focusing on materials characterization for fusion energy projects (Wendelstein 7-X and ITER). The successful candidate will be responsible for setting up and operating new experimental facilities, both inside and outside hot cells, including advanced equipment like FIB, Laser-flash, and GDOES. A critical component of the job is the independent preparation of samples using metallographic methods and their subsequent examination via microscopy (LM, SEM, FIB) and profilometry. This position requires working openly with radioactive samples under radiation protection guidelines, collaborating closely with scientists on BMFTR-project HML-PIE tasks, and maintaining strict adherence to safety protocols, including working under respiratory protection in controlled areas. The role is ideal for a skilled technician or laboratory assistant with a background in metallography and a readiness to operate in a high-safety, international research environment.
