IEK-3 offers a wide range of employment opportunities for scientists, engineers, technicians and laboratory assistants, preferentially from the fields of process engineering, chemistry and physics. The institute offers a sophisticated research environment with interesting development options where topics are investigated by innovative methods. You will be expected to contribute a high degree of personal commitment and professional expertise and also to display appropriate communications skills and quality of work.

The topics of doctoral theses cover all of IEK-3's research and development priorities and are completed by university graduates in a period of no more than three years.

IEK-3 offers students the opportunity to complete diploma, bachelor's and master's theses with an advisor in all of the institute's research and development areas. The program targets students at universities and universities of applied sciences and ranges from systems analysis studies to the modeling of fluid dynamic, chemical and physical processes and their simulation, up to and including experimental verification at various scale levels. Theses are carried out in close cooperation with the degree-granting university.

Trainees at IEK-3 can avail of high-quality training opportunities not just in scientific and technical fields but also in the area of administration.
