Postdoctoral position - Energy Systems Modelling and Optimization:

100%, Zurich, fixed-term:

The Reliability and Risk Engineering Lab in the Institute of Energy and Process Engineering aims to identify and mitigate systemic risks in interdependent critical infrastructure networks and complex energy systems by quantitatively defining reliability, resilience, and risk within these systems.

With our modelling, we inform policymakers in the transition to resilient, fair, and sustainable energy and critical infrastructure systems.

The position is available immediately by agreement. The project duration is 2 years (annual contracts).

Project background:

The Reliability and Risk Engineering Lab supports the creation of sustainable and resilient energy value chains to speed up the energy transition.

To this end, the group develops models investigate net-zero transition pathways of the Swiss and the European energy systems and analyze factors that can hinder the roll-out of sector-coupled pathways.

Job description:

Advance mathematical optimization methods to further our understanding of future energy systems
Conduct interdisciplinary analyses related to future energy systems, e.g., energy policy, behavioral economics, climate modeling, risk management
Contribute to national and international projects in the field of energy systems transition
Supervise doctoral students in the field of energy system optimization
Contribute to shaping the research mission in the energy system modeling group at the Reliability and Risk Engineering Lab

To address these points, you will have access to state-of-the-art computational capabilities, and you will be in contact with experts within ETH Zurich and worldwide.

Your profile:

We require excellent communication skills in English, both verbal and written. Knowledge of German is welcome.

You should combine strong individual research with teamwork and leadership capabilities to guide the energy system optimization sub-group of the Reliability and Risk Engineering Lab.
