TU Wien is Austria's largest research and educational institution in the fields of technology and natural sciences. More than 4,000 scientists in eight faculties conduct research on "Technology for People" in five main research areas. The content of the offered studies is based on this excellent research. The more than 27,000 students in the 55 studies offered benefit from this. As a driver of innovation, TU Wien strengthens the business location, enables cooperation and contributes to the prosperity of society.

The Institute of Sensor and Actuator Systems, at TU Wien is offering a position as university assistant for 4 years for 30 hours/week to work on a project on Nanoelectromechanical Systems (NEMS). Expected start: April, 2021.

The project will be hosted in the Research Unit of Micro and Nanosensors (MNS). In MNS we conduct widely recognized research within a range of diverse topics such as NEMS single-molecule absorption sensing, NEMS infrared spectroscopy, NEMS infrared detection, NEMS mass spectrometry, ultrahigh-Q nanomechanical resonators for quantum optomechanics, and optomechanical transduction. The successful candidates will be part of a team dedicated to the design and development of novel NEMS for photothermal sensing.
