[Opt-Net] PhD student Position on Modelling and Optimization of Weakly Coupled Minigrids, WIAS, Berlin

[Heike Sill]

WIAS invites applications for a

PhD student position (f/m/d)

(Ref. 22/04)

in the Research Group

“Nonlinear Optimization and Inverse Problems”

(Head: Prof. Dr. D. Hömberg) starting at April 1, 2022.

The position is tied to the MATH+ Cluster of excellence project AA4-10:

“Modelling and Optimization of Weakly Coupled Minigrids under Uncertainty”.

The project investigates the design and optimal operation of green 
minigrids in rural Africa, combining renewable energy sources with 
batteries and diesel generators in weak coupling to the main grid. The 
research comprises control strategies for the daily operation, 
accounting also for battery degradation and bi-level optimization 
problems for the design of minigrids respecting probabilistic constraints.

We are looking for candidates with a master’s degree and a strong 
background in applied mathematics or computational electrical 
engineering. Prior knowledge in optimal control, stochastic optimization 
or circuit simulation are beneficial.

Please direct scientific queries to Prof. D. Hömberg 
(Dietmar.Hoemberg at wias-berlin.de).

The appointment is limited until 31.03.2025. The reduced work schedule 
is 29,25 hours per week, and the salary is according to the German TVoeD 
Bund scale.

The Weierstrass Institute is an equal opportunity employer. We 
explicitly encourage female researchers to apply for the offered 
position. Among equally qualified applicants, disabled candidates will 
be given preference.

Please upload complete application documents including a cover letter, 
curriculum vitae and photocopies of relevant certificates as soon as 
possible and no later than 20.03.2021 via our online job-application 
facility using the button “Apply online”.

We are looking forward to your application!
