Institute for Control Systems (IRS)

Job description

As a scientist with several years of research experience, you play a central role in the international team of the "Networked Multi-Energy Systems" research group. You actively shape the energy transition through the following main activities:

• Free and project-based research on physics-, data-, and learning-based methods for sector-coupled energy systems with partners from academia and practice (e.g., in the field of modeling of sector-coupled energy systems (electricity, gas, district heating), scalable control and stability analysis of energy systems using dissipativity theory, merging market mechanisms and technical operation into optimal, techno-economic operation strategies)
• Professional support for PhD students and joint publications in relevant, high-ranking journals
• Acquisition of research funds (publicly funded, industry, etc.)
• Participation in the research-oriented teaching of the institute
• Research group lead
