We are always happy to take on good student and research assistants. Many of the advertised Bachelor's/Master's projects can also be carried out as student assistants.

We are currently [December 2025] looking for student assistants for the following areas of responsibility:

Outreach activities, science communication, website:

• Regular updates to the website with news, new publications, etc.
• Maintaining the structure and organization of the website
• Supporting the planning and organization of outreach and science communication events (e.g., Essener Wissenschaftssommer, Tag der Offenen Tür mit der Maus, school events)
• Creating materials such as posters, worksheets, etc. for outreach activities
• A degree in natural sciences or engineering is an advantage, but not a requirement

Research on material-hydrogen interaction, intermetallic phases, shape memory materials:

• Characterization of materials by measuring electrical and thermal transport quantities (resistance, Seebeck coefficient, Hall coefficient)
• Sample preparation by sawing, grinding, and polishing
• Data analysis, if interested, also further development of existing analysis scripts with Python or MATLAB

If you are interested, please contact: klara.luenser[at]uni-due.de

Laboratory work and support in the crystal growth group:

• Production of high-quality (single) crystals (preparation, operation of furnaces and crystal growth equipment)
• Sample preparation (sawing, grinding, polishing) and sample analysis (light microscopy, Raman spectroscopy)
• Working in an existing team, working independently and responsibly, etc.
• Requirements: Enjoyment of new tasks, meticulous working style, degree in natural sciences or engineering
