In order to fill a fixed-term position in full-time (39.83 hours/week = 100%, part-time work is possible) at the earliest possible date, we are looking for 1
Research associate / PhD student (m/f/x)
The energy transition consists of step-by-step transformation decisions that span across decades and involve numerous stakeholders with diverging interests. Therefore, it requires innovative, model-based decision support. The Chair of Energy Systems and Energy Economics supports achieving an environmentally, economically and socially sustainable energy system in Germany, Europe and the World. For this purpose, we develop scientifically sound methods and provide evidence for improved and informed decision-making on future energy system design and operation. We pursue the principles of research excellence and policy-relevance.
As a research associate and PhD student (m/f/x), you will conduct research on energy system transition pathways under conflicting interests, using innovative modelling and optimisation methods.
Scope: full-time
Duration: fixed-term, 3 years
Start: at the earliest possible date
Apply by: 2026-03-30
Your tasks:
- Develop and use innovative optimisation methods and modelling workflows for energy transition pathways under conflicting interests
- Develop and realise your own research ideas in line with the research project OPTIMA (Open Toolbox for Modeling and Integration of dynamic-recursive Modelling to Generate Alternatives in Energy System Models) and the chair’s vision
- Collaborate with colleagues at the chair as well as partners within the OPTIMA project across Germany
- Publish the results of your work in leading international peer-reviewed journals and at national and international conferences
- The preparation of a PhD thesis is explicitly supported and desired
- Supervision of Bachelor’s and Master’s theses that align with your research interests is explicitly supported
- Support developing research proposals for the acquisition of third-party funding and thus help shape future research priorities
Your profile:
- A university degree (Master's degree or diploma) with honours in a mathematical-scientific field (e.g. mathematics, physics, informatics) or in an engineering or economic field with a strong quantitative modelling component (e.g. environmental engineering, industrial engineering, quantitative economics and management)
- Strong structured and analytical way of thinking, proven ability to work on your own initiative as well as in a team
- Excellent communication, presentation and writing skills
- Very good command of written and spoken English; Command of German is an advantage
- Interest in interdisciplinary, energy economic and energy policy issues
- Skills in operations research and programming (e.g. Python, GAMS, Julia) are an advantage
- Experience in energy system modelling and energy economics are an advantage
