Physics laboratory assistant (Physiklaborant/in)
Physics laboratory assistants are responsible for carrying out physical measurements and test series. The trainees produce the necessary devices and circuits for their experiments themselves and evaluate them with the help of protocols. The controlling of the test series and the evaluation of the measured data is usually done by computer.
During training, trainees are involved in all the work of the various analytical departments. There they also learn how to work with state-of-the-art complex physical analysis equipment and how to solve experimental problems. In addition, exam-relevant training contents are taught in a modern training laboratory.
As this is a dual training program, the vocational school takes place in the form of block instruction at the Berufskolleg Stadtmitte, which is close to the institute. Additional in-depth instruction is provided at the institute by trained instructors.
Prerequisites are FOR (Fachoberschulreife) with qualification for the upper school (Oberstufe), FHR (Fachhochschulreife) or high school graduation (Abitur). Physics laboratory assistants should have a good understanding in mathematics, physics and geometry and also have a good spoken and written command of the English language, work well in a team and enjoy dealing with people from different cultural backgrounds.
The training is meant for 3 1/2 years.
Application
A written application can be made in digital form as well as in paper form. It must include a cover letter, a complete CV and copies of your most recent certificates.
