PhD Position

vor 5 Monaten


Potsdam, Deutschland Helmholtz Centre Potsdam Vollzeit
Reference Number 9479

This position is part of the EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network „Climate-Tectonics Interactions using Big Data informed Models“ (INITIATE, www.initiate-dn.eu/). We are seeking for a candidate to build a Digital Twin of the subsurface of North Central Europe as a base for 3D simulations of coupled thermo-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) processes considering different climate scenarios. The objective is to assess the influence of present and past climate changes on the THM configuration as relevant for availability and preservation of groundwater resources, heat and energy storage, geothermal energy production and deposition of nuclear waste. 

The PhD position is subject to approval by third-party funders.

Your responsibilities:

Integration of geological and geophysical data into a 3D structural model resolving first-order heterogeneities (sediments, crust and lithosphere mantle)  Identification, compilation and analysis of available data describing groundwater conditions and present and past climatic conditions  3D forward simulations of coupled THM processes under different climate scenarios  Construction of surrogate model for ensemble simulations - global parameter and uncertainty quantification Quantification of future (climate) scenarios  Interpretation and publication of results in peer-reviewed journals

Your qualifications:

Master degree or diploma in Physics, Mathematics or Geosciences is mandatory  Knowledge of thermal-hydraulic-mechanical physical processes  Knowledge in 3D structural modeling and numerical methods Programming skills are an advantage  Good English language skills

Eligibility:

Researchers recruited in a Doctoral Network must be Early Stage Researchers and not been awarded a doctoral degree  At the time of recruitment researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity in the country of their host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years prior to the reference date (EU mobility rule)

What we offer:

Ambitious and varied tasks in a dynamic and international research environment State-of-the-art equipment Public service benefits Extensive training opportunities Professional career advice offered by our in-house Career-Centre  Flexible working hours and conditions Support with finding a good work-life balance offered by benefit@work Institute day-care centre on site  Working at the Albert Einstein science park on the Telegrafenberg in Potsdam Work place within walking distance of Potsdam main train station, or just a short ride on the shuttle bus Start date: Earliest start is October 1st 2024 (latest February 1st 2025)
Fixed-term: 36 months
Working hours: Full-time (currently 39 h/week)
Place of work: Potsdam Salary: (subject to local taxes, social security deductions etc.): 3342 €/month gross living allowance 600 €/month gross mobility allowance When applicable, a family allowance may also be provided in the amount of 660 €/month Other possible allowances include long-term leave and special needs
