Jobs and Career (PhD)

At the Chair of Measurement Technology at the University of Rostock, we offer students exciting opportunities to participate early in cutting-edge research in the field of magnetic and medical measurement technology. Our research focuses particularly on magnetic-mechanical resonators (MMR) and magnetic particle imaging (MPI), an innovative imaging method for the highly sensitive visualization of magnetic nanoparticles.

Student assistants support our research projects, for example, in setting up experimental measurement systems, developing analog and digital electronics, implementing modern signal processing strategies, and analyzing complex measurement data. Topics such as magnetic tracking systems, sensor development, and reconstruction methods for imaging systems also play a central role.

Working with us provides direct insight into current research questions and offers the chance to apply theoretical knowledge from lectures directly in practice. Through close collaboration with research staff, students gain early access to challenging engineering issues and can prepare specifically for their theses or a scientific career.

The Chair of Measurement Technology at the University of Rostock offers doctoral candidates and postdocs an interdisciplinary research environment at the interface of electrical engineering, medical engineering, and medical imaging. The focus is on innovative measurement methods based on magnetic systems, particularly magnetic-mechanical resonators (MMR) and magnetic particle imaging (MPI).

Our research encompasses both physical modeling and the development of complete measurement systems – from novel sensor systems and analog front ends to electronics development, advanced reconstruction methods, and intelligent signal processing. Special emphasis is placed on magnetic tracking systems, complex magnetic field generators, and the development of new methods for medical diagnostics and imaging applications.

The goal is to further develop new measurement approaches from their theoretical foundations to application-oriented and translational implementation. This work is carried out in close collaboration with clinical partners, non-university research institutions, and industrial partners. This creates a research environment with high scientific relevance and direct application potential.
