The Research Training Group on Tip- and laser-based 3D-Nanofabrication in extended
macroscopic working areas “NanoFab” at the Technische Universität Ilmenau (Germany) offers:
2 full-time positions for Postgraduate Research
Fellows (f/m/d)
starting October 1st, 2021 with a duration of two years. In case of mutual interest, an extension of the
employment is not excluded.
The Research Training Group "NanoFab" is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and
aims to synergistically combine sophisticated and novel nanofabrication techniques with the fascinating
capabilities of nanopositioning and nanometrology machines, resulting in new, multi-scale approaches
and solutions for large-scale nanofabrication. Based on the interdisciplinary character, a wide range of
research projects is addressed. Further details on the current projects and the scope of “NanoFab” can
be found at
www.tu-ilmenau.de/nanofab/ .
The positions are open-topic within the framework of the Research Training Group "NanoFab".
Therefore, there is a unique opportunity for Postgraduate Research Fellows to efficiently implement their
own ideas. In addition to the usual documents, applicants should therefore briefly describe in particular
their own and unique project idea to be researched within the two years.
In addition to a scientific university degree (Diploma, Master or equivalent) as well as a completed
outstanding doctoral degree in engineering and other related fields of “NanoFab”, we expect relevant
publications (peer-reviewed), very good English skills, scientific creativity, team spirit and willingness to
cooperate in an interdisciplinary and international team, as well as the motivation to acquire third-party
funding for an own research project within the frame of the two years.
The Research Training Group offers a creative and inspiring research environment, excellent laboratory
facilities, e.g. in the well-equipped Center for Micro- and Nanotechnologies, comprehensive scientific
supervision and a widespread international scientific network. The Technische Universität Ilmenau is a
campus university with a family atmosphere in a scenic setting in the middle of Germany. In addition to
an innovative, research-rich environment, it also offers numerous opportunities for sports, culture and
other personal activities.
The Technische Universität Ilmenau strives for gender equality and strongly encourages women to
apply. Handicapped applicants will be given preferential consideration in case of equal suitability.
Special services are available concerning all social matters.

vitae, Master and doctorate certificate, short description of the intended research project, list of
publications, copies of the two most relevant publications, two contacts for scientific recommendation.
