Institution:

Lehrstuhl für Anthropogene Stoffkreisläufe und Institut für Aufbereitung, Kokerei und Brikettierung

Our Profile:

ANTS searches and analyses in research and teaching for solutions and methods to make anthropogenic material flows recyclable.

Thus, we aim to develop raw material management at the product and material level as well as to demonstrate and to implement it by means of practical examples.

With its previous expertise, the department is one of the leading research institutions in Europe in the field of mechanical and sensor-based processing technology.

The ANTS combines the modelling and evaluation of processing and recycling processes with a view to entire product systems and life cycles in the sense of a circular economy and complements this expertise by technical implementation and demonstration.

We offer:

Collaboration in an exciting and cuttingedge research field
Involvement in the active processing of research projects
Flexible working hours and mobile working e.g., during exam preparation
Extensive supervision and support
Opportunity to participate in scientific publications as a coauthor
A friendly working environment and occasional team events

In this context, the research group "Sensor Technology & Data Science" investigates possible optimization potentials of sensor-based sorting as well as the extended process control.

Our strengths lie in the following areas:

Access to extensive technical equipment for test campaigns: laboratory, pilot plant, measuring stands for sensorbased sorting and characterization, execution of measurement campaigns in largescale sorting and processing plants
Comprehensive assessment of processing technology issues
Analysis of process chains of mechanical and sensorbased processing
Quantitative characterization of anthropogenic material systems using inline sensor technology in combination with machine and deep learning algorithms
Control of separation processes based on relevant parameters such as volume or material composition per time unit

We are looking for a student assistant to strengthen our research group "Sensor Technology & Data Science".

Your Profile:

Enrolled in an engineering or technical/scientific degree program, e.g., Computer science, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, automation engineering
Knowledge of or high interest in machine learning and/or computer vision
Programming knowledge in Python (or high interest in learning it)
Prior knowledge in sensor technology, raw material and recycling, or mechanical processing desirable, but not mandatory
Analytical thinking and ability to think abstractly
Interest in material cycles and life cycle analysis
High motivation and good communication skills
Ability to work independently and willingness to work in a team
Very good knowledge of the MS Office package, especially Excel
Advanced knowledge of written and spoken English

Your Duties and Responsibilities:

Collaboration in the research project "ORAM": You will develop with us a modular mechanical reprocessing method for the recovery of highperformance polymers from endoflife aircraft components, so that the plastic recyclates produced can be used again in aircraftrelated additive manufacturing. As part of the process development, the technical feasibility of polymer and foreign material detection using nearinfrared or Xray transmission (XRT) sensor technology will be investigated.
Collaboration in the research project "ProSim": You will support us in the process modeling and simulation of mechanical processing and sorting plants based on sensorbased data. This includes the acquisition of this data in laboratory, pilot plant and plant scale, the preprocessing of data, as well as the modeling of individual processes of transfer functions and representation of the entire process chains.
Support our scientific staff by independently conducting literature research, preparing and analyzing experimental data, and creating scientific figures.

Assist the Institute with general duties as they arise.

What We Offer:

The position is to be filled at the earliest possible date and offered for a fixed term of initially 3 months.

A longer employment is prefered.
This is a part-time contract position.
The standard weekly hours will be 8 hours.
The salary is based on the RWTH Guidelines for Student and Graduate Assistants.
The position corresponds to a pay grade of 12,00 € per hour.

About us:

RWTH is a certified family-friendly University.

We support our employees in maintaining a good work-life balance with a wide range of health, advising, and prevention services, for example university sports.
