Amsterdam, Nederland CWI Voltijd

Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in Amsterdam has vacancies for:
**Two PhD positions in AI-based methods for integrated hydrogen-electricity systems (M/F/x)**

**Background**

**Job description**:
**[1] **The first position is part of WP2 of GVNL, that covers the transport and storage of hydrogen. The PhD position at CWI will concern the interface between hydrogen and electrical power network, in particular how AI optimisation and modeling methods for hydrogen storage can be used/operated in a smart way to provide flexibility for the electrical power network (such as how hydrogen units can act as a form of energy storage for renewable generation). Potential topics for this PhD position include:

- Modelling the deployment of hydrogen storage for managing electricity network congestion, including optimizing their spatial placement and size
- New AI/ML algorithms for smart control of H2 generation/storage units (e.g. reversible H2 fuel cells)
- Novel methods for market-based coordination, and automated market design (using smart autonomous agents) when using H2 assets as a source for flexibility for local power grids
- Algorithms for optimising the placement of hydrogen refueling stations, including freight and ship bunkering (refueling) stations

The focus of both PhD projects at CWI, will be on development of novel dedicated approaches with (distributed) AI, multi-agent systems and/or machine learning techniques to support decision-making for integrated hydrogen-electricity systems. Fundamental AI techniques relevant to this project include a wide range of computational intelligence and ML techniques, distributed, multi-agent optimisation, market-based coordination between agents, automated negotiation and algorithmic game theory approaches. In terms of the optimization aspects, relevant topics include: single and multi-criteria optimization, dynamic constraints, uncertainty and risks, costs of actions, and economic/technical trade-offs. The PhD student will start with a survey identifying promising alternatives and then delve deeper into specific solutions and approaches and real case studies and data. The projects will involve regular discussion and presentation of the results to other consortium members from other universities, HBOs, research institutes and companies (who have, potentially, different expertise backgrounds). Hence effective communication skills are required

**Requirements**:
**Terms and conditions**:
The terms of employment are in accordance with the Dutch Collective Labour Agreement for Research Centres ("CAO-onderzoeksinstellingen"). The initial labour agreement will be for a period of 12 months. After a positive evaluation, the agreement will be extended by 18 months. After this agreement ends, an additional labour agreement for 18 months will be provided at TU Delft, together constituting a 4-year PhD trajectory as is common in The Netherlands. The gross monthly salary, for a PhD student on a full time basis, is €2,590 during the first year and increases to €3,318 over the four year period.

At both CWI and TU Delft, employees are also entitled to a holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a year-end bonus of 8.33%. CWI and TU Delft offer attractive working conditions, including flexible scheduling and help with housing for expat employees.
- A detailed CV, detailing educational and work experience
- List of grades and courses completed during their studies
- A motivation cover letter, describing how the background and interests of the applicant, and fit with the proposed PhD project(s)
- [Optional] Relevant information about a completed piece of research (e.g. abstract of MSc thesis or relevant prior publication (if any)

**Terms and conditions of employment for PhD Students**

The terms of employment are in accordance with the Dutch Collective Labour Agreement for Research Centres ("CAO-onderzoeksinstellingen"). The initial labour agreement will be for a period of 18 months. After a positive evaluation, the agreement will extended by 30 months. The gross monthly salary, for a PhD student on a full time basis, is €2,781 during the first year and increases to €3,562 over the four year period. Employees are also entitled to a holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a year-end bonus of 8.33%. CWI offers attractive working conditions, including flexible scheduling and help with housing for expat employees.
