Internal & External Events of KIST Europe

Workshop for Korea-EU Smart Factory Testbed Planning

On May 29, 2019, KIST Europe’s Smart Convergence Group, which develops intelligent systems for comprehensive factory operations and fosters the application of AI-based 4th Industrial Revolution technologies, hosted this special forum on behalf of experts from Korea and Europe.Participants introduced the research capacities and infrastructures of their various organizations and discussed ideas and methods for jumpstarting research collaboration.Dr. Jongwoon Hwang, head of the Smart Convergence Group, stated, “Manufacturing is a strong element of both the European and Korean economies. A large amount of IoT devices are being installed in smart factories to enable vertical and horizontal integration. The next step is to explore the workability of even newer technologies and expand the future potential of smart factories in general.”Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Detlef Zühlke, honorary executive board member at SmartfactoryKL, added that “South Korea has excellent AI technologies and skillful researchers. Through such workshops, we can share information and engage in further discussions.”The workshop was designed to encourage brainstorming on how European countries can better cooperate with Korea on its Smart Factory Testbed.Dr. Hwang wrapped things up by saying, “KIST Europe aims to construct a successful research network between Europe and Korea for launching the Smart Factory Testbed.”

New Job Posting (October 08, 2019)

[Tenure] Senior Researcher

Job announcementKIST Europe Forschungsgesellschaft mbH is established in 1996 and located in Saarbruecken, Germany, as an overseas branch of the KIST in Seoul, Korea. We are seeking for creative and passionate research staffs as below.□ Senior ResearcherJob Description[Field 1 : Environmental Safety]The Environmental safety group contributes to the protection of human health from discharged environmental pollutants including chemicals, microplastics, particulate matter and Nanoparticles etc and provides the basis for improving the welfare of the ecosystem. Direction in our laboratory explores the environmental model organism to study the interplay between in silico and in vitro ecotoxicity studies according to OECD test guideline.We are seeking professional with experience hazard chemical monitoring and extensive knowledge of alternatives to animal testing.(1) General toxicity assessments of toxicants can be analyzed by using (bio)indicators e.g. microalgae, Daphnia magna, fish(2) Toxicological mechanisms can be identified in molecular basis by using in vitro system with specific gene activity & metabolomics(3) Regulatory relevance on chemical can be applied to predict toxic effects by using in silico methods. e.g. (Q)SAR, Exposure scenarioThis individual will work on environmental pollutants-related research projects, including research design, study bio-monitoring and establish adverse outcome pathways. This position offers significant opportunities for professional growth in environmental issues with the international group.[Field 2 : Biosensor]The biosensor group contributes to research on human and ecosystem from chemical exposure in the environments.We are looking for outstanding researchers who will workd and lead mainly on environmental related projects having assessment of materials, sensing methods based on organic chemistry. The ultimated goal of the research is to detect organic compounds and biomarkers in complex aqueous solution with extremely low concentrations, and to develop real-time monitorable sensors. Candidates must have an excellent understanding, and preferably direct experience, of one or more of the following areas: strong background in organic synthesis/functional materials with organic systhesis, electrochemistry or sensors and various data processing methods.RequirementsDoctoral degree    - [Field 1] Environmental science or Toxicology      * At least 2-year experience in related field       * Research for (Aquatic) animals are advantageous    - [Field 2] Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or a related field      * At least 2-year experience in related field A team player with good communication skills and organizational competenciesPrefer a person with a good research networkGood command of spoken and written EnglishDocuments for Applications (English, scanned document as PDF - file size under 10MB)Cover Letter (1 Page), Curriculum VitaeRecommendation Letters    - Field 1 : at least 1   - Field 2 : at least 3Certificates of graduation & Academic TranscriptCertificates of career, List of research achievements (Publication, project etc.)        - State the Journal (SCI/SCIE) and Lead author (1st of corresponding)Application- Deadline : November 8th (Fri), until 18:00- E-mail to: info@kist-europe.de- Contact information   [Field 1] Dr. Young Jun Kim (youngjunkim@kist-europe.de, +49-(0)681-9382-327)   [Field 2] Dr. Jaeho Lee (jaeho.lee@kist-europe.de, +49-(0)681-9382-332)(KOR)KIST 유럽연구소는 1996년에 "EU 현지 거점을 통한 한-EU 공동연구 및 기업지원 수행"등을 목표로 하여 독일 자브뤼켄(Saarbrücken)에 설립된 해외 유일의 정부출연연구소입니다. 연구소에서 수행하는 환경안전성 연구 및 연구지원에 필요한 창의적이고 열정적인 국내외 인재를 아래와 같이 모시고자 합니다. O 모집분야 구분직급 학위 세부전공 업무분야지원 자격환경안전성선임연구원 박사 환경공학, 생화학, (환경)독성학, 분자생물학 또는 관련분야 - 환경 및 생태독성 스크리닝 연구 - OECD 동물대체 시험법 연구 - 환경위해성 (노출) 예측 기술 연구  - (최소) 2년 이상 해당 분야 경력자 - 영어활용능력우수 - 어류실험 경력자 우대 바이오센서선임연구원  박사 화학, 화학공학 유기합성 또는 유기합성 기반 기능성 화합물 관련분야 - 환경안전성 관련 센서 연구 - 수용액 혼합물내 극저농도 저분자량 환경 유해물질, 바이오마커의 선택적 검출 센서 - (최소) 2년 이상 해당 분야 경력자 - 영어활용능력우수  * 지원자격 공통사항 : 해외 체류에 결격사유가 없는 자, 병역의무대상자의 경우 병역을 필하였거나 면제된 자  * 연구직 업무분야 세부 직무설명은 첨부파일 참조O 제출서류 ◎ 공통사항   1. 영문 작성 및 PDF 파일 하나로 취합 후 제출 (10Mb 이하)   2. 이메일 제출 시, 제목에 지원 분야 명시(예 : [환경안전성] 지원서 제출) 구분직급 제출서류환경안전성선임연구원 1. 커버레터(1페이지) 2. 이력서 3. 학사 이상 전 학력증명서 및 성적표 4. 경력증명서 5. 연구실적증명서 (논문, 프로젝트 수행 등) 6. 추천서 (환경안전성 1개 이상, 바이오센서 3개)바이오센서선임연구원   * 기재내역이 사실과 다를 경우 합격을 취소할 수 있음  * 연구실적 관련 : ① 등재저널(SCI 또는 SCIE) 표기 ② 주저자 여부(제 1저자 또는 교신저자) 표기O 접수기간 및 접수방법 - 접수기간: 2019. 10.8일(화) - 11.8일(금) 18:00시까지 (독일 현지시각) - 접수방법: 온라인 접수 (이메일 : info@kist-europe.de)O 채용관련 문의- 환경안전성 : 김용준 단장 (youngjunkim@kist-europe.de // +49-(0)681-9382-327)- 바이오센서 : 이재호 단장 (jaeho.lee@kist-europe.de      // +49-(0)681-9382-332)- 일반사항 : 이규영 행정실장 (kylee@kist-europe.de        // +49-(0)681-9382-207)
