FRAUNHOFER INSTITUTE FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUITS IIS 
THE AUDIO AND MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES DIVISION OF THE FRAUNHOFER INSTITUTE FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUITS IIS IN ERLANGEN, GERMANY, AS OF NOW HAS AN IMMEDIATE OPENING FOR A
RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
Fraunhofer is Europe’s largest application-oriented research organization. In 2019, in the "research" and "public sector" category of the Trendence Graduate Barometer as well as in the Randstad Employer Brand Research, we were named "TOP 1 Employer Germany". Our research efforts are geared entirely to people’s needs: health, security, communication, energy and the environment. As a result, the work undertaken by our researchers and developers has a significant impact on people’s lives. We are creative. We shape technology. We design products. We improve methods and techniques. We open up new vistas.
About us
For over 30 years, the institute’s Audio and Media Technologies division has been shaping the globally deployed standards and technologies in the fields of audio and moving picture production. Starting with the creation of mp3 and continuing with the co-development of AAC and the Digital Cinema Initiative test plan, almost all consumer electronic devices, computers and mobile phones are equipped with systems and technologies from Erlangen today. Meanwhile, a new generation of best-in-class media technologies is elevating the user experience to new heights. Always considering the demands of the market, Fraunhofer IIS develops technology that makes memorable moments.

In that case, we have the right position for you! In this position, you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the future of entertainment electronics, communication and media technologies. You develop algorithms that will one day make mobile telephone conversations sound crystal clear. You bring 3D sound to television, cars and virtual reality applications. You will give computers a voice, create artificial intelligence and help make science fiction reality. You will make sure that Hollywood can create and process digital motion pictures. And you develop production tools for light field recordings. These and many other exciting activities await you.
What we expect from you
In case of identical qualifications preference will be given to severely disabled candidates. We would like to point out that the chosen job title also includes the third gender. The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft emphasises gender-independent professional equality.
