Student job as laboratory assistant at the Institute of Computer Science

Institute for Computer Science is seeking a laboratory assistant for a student job starting December 15 or as soon as possible. You must be a student, and the employment is for the duration of your education and ends when you complete your studies.

Student employees working as laboratory assistants at the Institute for Computer Science work with the daily operation of research and teaching laboratories at the Institute for Computer Science. The work is carried out in collaboration with the institute's laboratory coordinator and the institute's laboratory committee.

Requirements for professional qualifications and working hours

A deep professional insight into general technologies used in and around teaching laboratories is expected, including 3D printers, laser cutters and manufacturing of printed circuit boards. This insight can be demonstrated through good grades in the courses IT Product Design Project and Physical Computing, or comparable courses.

In addition, lab staff are members of the institute's Laboratory Committee, which makes decisions about operations, work environment, safety, and larger purchases in the lab area at the Institute for Computer Science. https://cs.staff.au.dk/boards-and-committees/lab-committee/
