Scientific Researcher in Optical Quantum Technology

vor 4 Wochen

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.

Research Focus

The department Emerging Technologies at Fraunhofer IOF focuses on two main research areas:

  • Optical Quantum Technologies
  • Active and Adaptive Optics

In the area of optical quantum technologies, the 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.

In the area of active and adaptive optics, the 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.

Requirements

To work in the department Emerging Technologies, you should 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.

You should have a good command of written and spoken German and English. You should work independently, solution-oriented, and reliably. A friendly, reliable, and open manner completes your profile.

What We Offer

We offer a highly motivated, agile team with a modern, well-equipped working environment. You will have independent work as well as personal and professional development opportunities in challenging and practical R&D projects. You will have the opportunity to actively shape and accentuate your own research focus. You will have networking with first-class industrial partners and research groups. You will have the opportunity to participate in conferences, trade fairs, and seminars. You will have work-life balance through flexible working hours. You will have 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.

We look forward to getting to know you.
