PhD Position – High precision machine tool geometry correction (100%) in Zürich

The Institute of Machine Tools and Manufacturing (IWF) at ETH Zurich conducts basic and applied research in many areas of production engineering. It maintains close cooperation with inspire AG, the leading Swiss competence centre for technology transfer to the machine, electrical and metal industries. Led by Prof. Dr. Konrad Wegener, the fields of activity range from production machines, manufacturing processes and machine simulation to virtual reality. To strengthen our research group "Analysis" we offer the following position for young scientists (m/f).

The main objective of your work is the implementation of a new process for the high-precision geometric correction of machine tools. The work takes place within the framework of a research project lasting several years and includes the development and implementation of a new process in close cooperation with industrial partners. The areas of work-piece and machine tool metrology, machine simulation and precision machining processes complement each other in this extremely versatile work. The results are immediately transferred to industrial application.
