Postdoc Researcher Modeling and Managing the Energy Transition

4 dagen geleden

Delft, Nederland TU Delft Voltijd
Job description

Delft University of Technology is hiring a postdoc in the field of model-based decision support for the energy transition. As the energy system is decarbonized, it is becoming increasingly integrated and therefore also more complex. You will perform research, help with coordinating research projects and help with eduction and project acquisition in the field of regulation and market design of the energy system. Flexibility and energy systems integration are core themes.

The research focuses on improving the design and regulation of markets for heat, electricity and gas (natural gas as well as hydrogen), considering their mutual relations and increasing interdependency. Models, both optimisation and (agent-based) simulation, play a large role in the research. The objective of the research is to improve the quality of decision making in the energy sector, both with respect to investment decisions and regulation.

You will perform independent research and also work together with doctoral candidates in various projects in order to realize synergies between these projects. You will help with education, e.g. in the area of energy market modeling and continuous development of the electricity market simulation game. Lastly, you will help with the acquisition and implementation of new research projects.

You will work in the Energy and Industry Section of the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management under the supervision of prof. dr. ir. Laurens de Vries.

Requirements

  • You like to work in an international, multi-disciplinary environment on energy-transition relevant problems, have an open personality and good English language skills.
  • You are able to communicate and collaborate well with international research partners, colleagues and students.
  • You have a Doctoral Degree in a field related to energy economics and/or energy system analysis.
  • You enjoy performing research, but are also interested in developing your education, leadership and project acquisition skills.
  • You are independent, self-motivated and eager to learn, and care about the societal impact of your work.

Conditions of employment

The position is initally limited to 14 months with the possibility for a 3-year extension thereafter, pending the outcome of an ongoing grant application.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. T he TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

For international applicants, TU Delft has the . This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.
