Student or research assistant at the LFO
The LFO offers a unique opportunity to combine theory and practice throughout your studies - whether in the Bachelor's or Master's. The flexible integration of work into everyday study life offers an ideal opportunity to significantly expand your own career prospects and, above all, to further develop your skills in scientific work. This is not only extremely helpful for the Bachelor's or Master's thesis, but also opens up the possibility of deepening your knowledge with a doctorate if you are interested. The LFO is a place where the focus is on innovation and research, but where there is also an open, supportive atmosphere. Here you can support exciting projects and make valuable contacts.

„Working at the LFO is ideal as a part-time job during my studies - it offers me the opportunity for personal and professional development in a great team. I have been part of the team at the chair since 2020, with two short breaks due to my three-month internship and my semester abroad. Even before these "breaks", it was clear to me that I wanted to return to the LFO afterwards.“

„For me, working at the LFO is the ideal complement to my studies. Here I can not only put theoretical knowledge into practice, but also learn how to work scientifically in an inspiring environment. I find the wide range of topics and the opportunity to work on projects that have a real impact on the future of German industry particularly exciting. What I particularly appreciate about my job is that I can grow not only professionally but also personally. The methods I learn here not only help me in my job, but also in better understanding and applying the content of my studies. I also had the great opportunity to further develop my research work as part of a project at the LFO. This flexibility and the motivating team make the work very special for me.“
