Technische Universität Berlin Faculty II - Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Institute for Physics and Astronomy/ MINTgrün pre-study orientation program

Research Assistant - 0.5 working time - for qualification

Your responsibility

The primary responsibility is to conduct the project-based course “Strömungstechnisches Projektlabor (MINT-STP)” by:

• Teaching fundamental knowledge and the application of fluid machinery and mechanics
• Designing fluid mechanics components through to the construction of complete systems
• Manufacturing-oriented drafting and computer-aided design of fluid machinery
• Experimental investigation of fluid flow machines and application of relevant measurement techniques
• Work with 3D printing methods

Additional areas of responsibility include networking and collaborating with non-university partners to foster students’ early engagement with technical disciplines, deepening the application of complex measurement and synthesis techniques, and the use of large-scale experimental equipment.

The activities includes participation in MINTgrün events – such as LNDW, study trips, etc. – designed to provide information and guidance to nearly 100% German-speaking first-year students and prospective students. The collaboration takes place within an interdisciplinary team that spans faculties and offers deep insight into different academic cultures.

Your profile

• A successfully completed graduate degree (Master’s, Diplom, or equivalent) in engineering with a focus on fluid mechanics and fluid-flow machinery
• Very strong knowledge in the areas of fluid system dynamics, fluid-flow machinery, and computational fluid dynamics
• Very strong knowledge and experience in the design and engineering of fluid flow systems and machinery
• Experience with flow measurement technology and experimental fluid dynamics test benches
• Experience in project-based teaching
• Very good software skills in LabView, CF-Turbo, Ansys, CFX, SolidWorks, and MATLAB
• Experience with 3D printing processes
• Very good written and spoken German
• Strong communication and teamwork skills, ability to work independently and motivation desirable
• Teaching experience in fluid mechanics is a plus
• Ability to convey knowledge to students desirable
• Good understanding of topics in the natural sciences and engineering is a plus
• Very good written and spoken English desirable
