Education & Training
The Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung is engaged in the education of young talents. Therefore, we are offering vocational training in diverse fields of profession. Moreover, our scientists are supervising Bachelor-, Master and Ph.D. students with great commitment.
The institute is aware that advanced education is the key to maintaining its position as Europe's leading center for crystal growth. Thus, we offer additional and/or extended training to our staff members as required.
Continuing education opportunities for external students exist in the form of the annual summer and winter schools focusing on crystal growing. Here, modern topics of crystal growth & technology are presented by internationally recognized experts for academic and industrial audiences.
In addition, we are offering special training courses for technicians and scientists on request. For further information, please contact our Science Management.
Young academics
IKZ is engaged in the education and promotion of young scientists. Although industry requires qualified crystal growers, there are only few places in Germany for graduates of the material sciences, physics, chemistry or crystallography to obtain such an expertise. IKZ is one of those places. Here all crystal growth departments offer scientific education for graduates and students.
Doctoral students will be able to participate in the training for PhD students organized by Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V. with seminars given on time management, scientific presentation and communication. We also offer foreign PhD students the opportunity to take courses to learn the German language.
In addition to doctoral positions, the institute also offers qualification theses for Bachelor, Master or Diploma students.
Apprenticeship
The IKZ is offering vocational training for different professions. Available positions will be posted here. However, professional skills can also be obtained by working temporarily at the institute, e.g. in the frame of a research project.
At the present time, we have apprentices for different vocations like office manager, IT systems technician and cutting machine operator.
