Jena, Thüringen, Deutschland Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Vollzeit

The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering (IOF) in Jena conducts applied research in optical system technology on behalf of the industry and as part of publicly funded joint projects. The range of services offered by the Fraunhofer IOF includes system solutions, starting with new design concepts, through the development of technologies, manufacturing and measuring methods to the construction of prototypes and pilot series for applications in the wavelength range from millimeter to nanometer.

The Fraunhofer IOF is also pioneering applied optical quantum technology research and offers innovative solutions for science and industry wherever quantum systems have the potential for revolutionary applications.

In the area of emerging technologies at Fraunhofer IOF, the focus of research and development lies currently on two topics:

Optical Quantum Technologies

Fraunhofer IOF is a pioneer in applied research on quantum photonics for scientific and industrial applications. This includes, for example, tap-proof quantum communication, low-noise quantum imaging systems, and advanced ion traps for quantum computers. Fraunhofer IOF integrates, optimizes, and miniaturizes quantum technology systems.

Active and Adaptive Optics

Fraunhofer IOF develops deformable mirrors to influence the wavefront actively to improve the system properties in a targeted manner. Our expertise is used for laser and quantum communication systems between ground stations and geostationary satellites, for the compensation of image perturbations in space telescopes, or focus adaptation and focus tracking in laser material processing. The mirrors can be equipped with up to 10,000 actuators and are controlled in real-time based on wavefront measurement technologies.

We are looking for a highly motivated and skilled researcher to join our team in the department of Emerging Technologies. As a researcher, you will work on versatile research projects in the field of optical quantum technology or active and adaptive optics.

Requirements

  • You have a scientific university degree with or without a doctorate in physics, engineering, photonics, or a comparable degree in a related field of study.
  • Graduates with knowledge in the above-mentioned research area are equally welcome to apply as applicants with (profound) subject-specific expertise.
  • Good command of written and spoken German and English.
  • You work independently, solution-oriented, and reliably.
  • A friendly, reliable, and open manner completes your profile.

What you can expect

  • A highly motivated, agile team with a modern, well-equipped working environment.
  • Independent work as well as personal and professional development opportunities in challenging and practical R&D projects.
  • The opportunity to actively shape and accentuate your own research focus.
  • Networking with first-class industrial partners and research groups.
  • Opportunity to participate in conferences, trade fairs, and seminars.
  • Work-life balance through flexible working hours.
  • Cooperation with a local day care center.

We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity. Severely disabled persons are given preference in the event of equal suitability.

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
