Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most
dynamic research institutions in the country. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented,
regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. In
research and academic programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the
humanities, social sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating
interdisciplinarity and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working
conditions to all employees in teaching, research, technology and administration. For TUD diversity is
an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent university. Accordingly, we welcome all
applicants who would like to commit themselves, their achievements and productivity to the success
of the whole institution.

At the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Institute of Acoustics and Speech
Communication, the Junior Professorship in Haptic Sensors offers a project position, subject to
the availability of resources, as

Research Associate (m/f/x)
(subject to personal qualification employees are remunerated according to salary group E 13 TV-L)

starting at the next possible date. The position comprises 75 % of the fulltime weekly hours. The
position is limited until December 31, 2024. The period of employment is governed by § 2 (2) Fixed
Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz-WissZeitVG).

Tasks: The work includes research activities in the field of fabrication and implementation of
miniaturized pressure sensors for haptic applications. The primary goal is divided into two
categories. The initial part includes the design and fabrication of the flexible pressure sensors using
appropriate nanomaterial and polymer. The prototypes should be developed on the basis of
composites using graphene variants and PEDOT: PSS. The second part of the project includes the
electromechanical characterization of the sensors on the basis of their tunnel junction mechanism.
The sensors will then be implemented for tactile and haptic sensing applications. The obtained results
will be presented and published in meetings, at conferences and in the form of scientific papers.

Requirements: university degree related to the field of physics or material science; high motivation
and independent as well as scientific working style; open-mindedness for interdisciplinary
cooperation and good English skills. Experience in the field of haptics, nanotechnology, sensors,
mechatronics and flexible sensing technology is an advantage.

TUD strives to employ more women in academia and research. We therefore expressly encourage
women to apply. The University is a certified family-friendly university and offers a Dual Career
Service. We welcome applications from candidates with disabilities. If multiple candidates prove to be
equally qualified, those with disabilities or with equivalent status pursuant to the German Social Code
IX (SGB IX) will receive priority for employment.
