A diverse insight into scientific and industry-related work in the field of Industrial Engineering
Student and Research Assistants are employed at the Institute of Production Systems in the areas of teaching, research and industrial contract research. The fields of activity include, among others, processing data, creating presentations, conducting independent research, assisting in the implementation of events and carrying out various tasks in the IE Training Centre.
Unsolicited application expressly welcome
In close coordination with our scientific and non-scientific employees and in a team of several SHK/WHF, you will work in the field of industrial engineering. This will give you a good insight into the different Research areas of the IPS. In addition, you will gain an insight into the current situation and needs of small and large companies in the manufacturing industry through support in the context of industrial contract research.

Your tasks as a SHK/WHF
You can expect a variety of tasks in the area of research, teaching and industrial contract research. Depending on the main topics of your supervisor, you will be assigned primarily, but not exclusively, to a subject area of the IPS. This and the exchange within the team will give you a good overview of the topics of the IPS and the work as a research assistant.
Selected tasks:
- Research of delimited topics
- Preparation and revision of presentations and lectures
- Analysis and processing of data
- Support in the processing of research projects
- Assistance in the context of industrial contract research
- Assistance with the organisation and implementation of events
- Support in working with our Demonstrators
Thrilling and with responsibility
The Institute of Production Systems has a broad landscape of student assistants from the fields of mechanical engineering and industrial engineering, but student support from the departments of computer science and statistics is also constantly being expanded. Overall, as a student, you get the opportunity to further and practically deepen student content, for example from the field of industrial engineering, as well as to gain insights into current research fields of the respective working groups.
Research with Practical Relevance
At the Institute, theoretical engagement with new fields of research is just one way of purposefully expanding one's everyday student life. A practical examination of current trends is also possible. Fields of application at this point are, for example:
-
Human-Robot Interaction
-
Data Science
The practical applications thus offer a good supplement to the mostly theory-heavy studies. Various lightweight robots are available in the institute's laboratory area, which can be worked on to carry out various research projects. Although this very current topic forms a strong trend in industry and research, it has not yet fully overcome the hurdles on the way to becoming an explicit, comprehensive teaching content. Therefore, this is a unique opportunity to build up practice-relevant knowledge and experience with the topic. Here, the task of the student assistants is not only the acquisition of theoretical knowledge, but especially the application of this knowledge. In this way, pilot processes can be tested in a test environment and optimised on the basis of various research approaches. Similarly, there is the opportunity to validate research projects in practice.
Working as a Student Assistant - Preparing for Working Life After Graduation
The work at the chair already gives students their first insights into a possible later professional field. Thus, students already have the opportunity to take responsibility for tasks during their studies and gain their first insights into working life and project business. Regardless of the professional orientation - industry or research - the work at the institute forms a solid basis for a working life after graduation. All in all, as a student at the IPS, you get the opportunity,
-
to contribute with one's own experience and knowledge under a goal-oriented guidance of the staff,
-
to become part of a friendly and collegial working environment
-
and to participate practically in research-relevant projects.
FAQ
