Several student assistant positions available at CPS

2023/08/30

To support research and teaching, several positions for student assistants are available at the Cyber-Physical Simulation group.

The Cyber-Physical Simulation (CPS) group headed by Prof. Dr. Oliver Weeger performs research into forward-looking numerical methods and modeling approaches for nonlinear, multi-scale and multi-physical problems in mechanical engineering, see www.cps.tu-darmstadt.de.

There are currently several student assistant positions available to support research and teaching.

Interested students should be enrolled in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computational Engineering, Mechanics or a similar major. Please send your application with a CV and a current overview of your grades directly to the specified contact person. If you are interested in more than one topic, please send only a single email to all relevant contact persons.

Generally, all research-related topics may also be suitable for bachelor/master thesis or ADP.
