Research Position on Modeling of Energy Systems and Industrial Decarbonization
Il y a 2 mois
We are looking for highly motivated, enthusiastic and communicative researchers with a Master of Science degree (or PhD, if applying for post-doc) in Engineering or a related field, from a reputable institute. You should have obtained excellent study results.
Candidates should have a strong interest in energy, especially in energy system operation and planning, as well as energy markets, policy and modeling. Experience with Matlab/Python/GAMS/Julia is a plus, as well as experience with agent-based models. Candidates with a background in a.o. economics, operations research are also encouraged to apply. Applicants should also have good English communication skills.
The candidate can start from existing energy systems models and dedicated expertise available in the research group and will collaborate with other research group members.
With the Green Deal, the EU has the ambition to become carbon neutral by 2050. This will imply a massive transformation of our entire energy system. This transformation includes a change in the use of our primary energy vectors, as well as in end-use sectors such as energy-intensive industries. As part of a larger European-funded project, we aim to identify and evaluate pathways and market uptakes of transformative solutions leading to circular, climate-neutral, and competitive industries.
To achieve this objective, we will develop and dploy energy system models. We are currently offering a research position (PhD/post-doc) specifically dedicated to the development of agent-based models. These models will be used to explore how energy and environmental policies shape and constrain both the decisions made by industrial players and the dynamics of the system as a whole.
If you are interested/motivated to do research in this domain, we encourage you to notify us/apply via the procedure explained below.
At the division of Applied Mechanics and Energy Conversion (TME) of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at KU Leuven, and embedded in EnergyVille, a dynamic research group led by Prof. Erik Delarue works/focuses on advanced modeling of energy systems and markets. Our research spans various critical areas including unit commitment, system planning, equilibrium modeling, agent-based modeling, renewables integration, energy policy, and energy market design. In the Energy Systems Integration and Modeling (ESIM) research group, PhD students and post-docs work on modeling and applications to energy and climate policies.KU Leuven is among the top European universities. It is a key player in the field of energy research, also through the collaboration within EnergyVille.
We offer:
A doctoral scholarship for four years (net monthly salary of about ~€2,500) and a PhD degree in Engineering, if successful / A post-doc position for one year (competitive salary), possibly to be extended.A highly specialized (doctoral) training, making the candidate an expert in energy systems modeling.The opportunity to participate in research collaborations and international conferences.Multiple benefits (health insurance, access to university infrastructure, and sports facilities)A start date will be agreed upon. This research will be performed within the framework of EnergyVille, a research collaboration on sustainable energy between KU Leuven, VITO, imec, and UHasselt.
