**Job description**:
**Your Job**:
The transformation of Germany’s energy system to one based almost exclusively on renewable energies is accompanied by an unprecedented increase in the demand for raw materials for the construction of these technologies. The consideration of these requirements as part of the energy system analysis is still constrained by a number of data and methodological challenges. The aim of this master thesis is to provide a model-based estimate of the raw materials currently tied up in the German energy system and the projected raw material requirements for a greenhouse gas-neutral transformation by 2045. In detail, this includes the following tasks:

- Research into relevant (sub)technologies for the German energy system transformation, including the associated specific material requirements and possible selection criteria
- Research on aggregation methods for raw material requirements at technology and system level
- Familiarization with the national energy system model ETHOS.NESTOR and, if necessary, extension by additional required technologies
- Development of a methodology for the downstream (ex-post) analysis of transformation pathways
- Application of the methodology in the context of an analysis of the transformation of the German energy system until 2045

**Your Profile**:

- Very good results in your Master’s degree in the field of energy technology, engineering, environmental sciences, renewable energies, industrial engineering, materials and geosciences or a comparable degree
- You are fluent in written and spoken English (knowledge of German is an advantage due to the thematic focus of the thesis)
- You are interested in current energy technology and policy issues
- You already have some experience in data analysis and programming with Python or a comparable programming language
- You are highly motivated and have the ability to work independently and in an analytical manner
- You have a high level of self-organization and time management skills

**Our Offer**:
As part of your Master Thesis, you will work as part of a team of experts from a wide range of scientific disciplines. Your work will make an important contribution to our research and to answering current questions in energy technology and policy.
In addition, we offer our students:

- Collaboration in a highly motivated and international research group in one of the largest research institutions in Europe
- Excellent scientific and technical infrastructure and intensive supervision
- The possibility of publication as co-author in a scientific journal
- Excellent technical equipment for successful work from home or on-site in Jülich
- Flexible working hours and appropriate salary

In addition to exciting tasks and a collaborative working atmosphere at Jülich, we have a lot more to offer: go.fzj.de/benefits

The position is initially for a fixed term of 6 months.
- This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation._

**Company**:
The Helmholtz Association contributes to solving major challenges to assure the future of our society. With more than 39,000 people on staff in 18 national research centres, the Helmholtz Association is Germany’s largest scientific organization. The name Helmholtz stands for concerted research in which networks form the key principle behind inquiring thought and action. Concerted research is efficient and flexible.

**The profile of the Helmholtz Association**

The Helmholtz Association performs cutting-edge research which contributes substantially to solving the grand challenges of science, society and industry. To succeed in meeting these responsibilities, Helmholtz concentrates its work in six research fields: Energy, Earth and Environment, Health, Key Technologies, Matter, as well as Aeronautics, Space and Transport. Within each of these fields, research programs are developed by our scientists and regularly evaluated by renowned international experts. Their evaluation forms the basis for the programme-oriented funding that is allocated to Helmholtz research. Within the six research fields, Helmholtz scientists cooperate with each other and with external partners - working across disciplinary, organizational and national borders.
