The Leibniz Institute for Surface Engineering (IOM) has a spectrum of employment options and mainly employs scientists, engineers and technicians of mostly natural sciences disciplines. They work interdisciplinary on different topics as defined by the scientific divisions of the insitute. 

IOM offers its employees a diverse and interesting range of tasks, modern equipment and a team-oriented and family-friendly working environment.

The institute has a family-conscious personnel policy and offers its employees, among other things, participation in the company's pension scheme (VBL), flexible working hours through a flexitime model as agreed with the institut's Work Council.  

We promote equal opportunities regardless of gender and strive to increase the number of women, especially in the scientific field (thus, women are therefore expressly encouraged to apply for open positions).
