PhD Researcher in Wind Energy

vor 1 Monat

Oldenburg, Niedersachsen, Deutschland Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, ForWind - Zentrum für Windenergieforschung Vollzeit
Job Description

The main objective of this PhD project is to develop advanced data processing methods for remote sensing systems, meteorological devices, and wind turbines, with a focus on gaining a scientific understanding and enabling new business cases for the operation of wind farms.

A multidisciplinary team of wind energy experts will be available for support and guidance throughout the project.

Key Responsibilities
  • Processing and analyzing large amounts of data by combining lidar measurements, meteorological information, and operational wind farm data
  • Developing new forecasting approaches, advanced wind field reconstruction methods, and machine learning or hybrid approaches
  • Deriving uncertainty quantification by virtual lidar measurements in large-eddy simulations
  • Implementing and validating developed algorithms for real-time application
  • Closely cooperating with a wind farm operator and researchers
Job Offer

We offer you the opportunity to develop your scientific career in a young and lively academic environment.

You will be working in the WindLab – one of the university's most modern office and lab spaces – while you will also have the opportunity to do flexible and mobile work.

Your pathway towards the PhD is actively supported by, e.g., multidisciplinary cooperation with other researchers at ForWind and Fraunhofer IWES in Oldenburg, direct collaboration with industry, and maintaining links with our national and international partners in academia.

Optional secondment at an international research institute, development of personal, scientific, and teaching skills through an individual training programme and selected teaching tasks, opportunities to present scientific results at international conferences and through peer-reviewed publications to extend your specific network, and structured supervision of the PhD process.

The employment is initially limited to three years with an intention to further prolong up to four years to facilitate a PhD.

The payment is based on the collective agreement for the public service in the German federal states, TV-L E13, for a 75% position.
