Research Associate (m/f/d) within the framework of the project POWERHOUSE efzn

 

At the Institute for Fluid Mechanics and Environmental Physics in Civil Engineering (ISU) at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodetic Science, the following position is to be filled as of January 1, 2025: Research Associate (m/f/d) within the framework of the project POWERHOUSE efzn (salary scale 13 TV-L, 100%)

The position is limited to 4 years.

The position

Collaborative research project within the framework of the program "zukunft.niedersachsen" funded by the Volkswagen Foundation (https://www.volkswagenstiftung.de/en): "POWERHOUSE efzn" of the Energy Research Center of Lower Saxony, funding project "GEOENERGYSYSTEMS“

As part of the "POWERHOUSE efzn" project of the Energy Research Center of Lower Saxony, a group of 10 doctoral candidates at Leibniz University Hannover, LIAG Institute for Applied Geophysics in Hannover, TU Clausthal, and University of Göttingen will address questions in the context of geoenergy systems. The ISU will contribute to the modeling of flow and transport processes in the subsurface in connection with parameter determination and the quantification of uncertainties in the storage of fluids in the subsurface.

Who are we looking for?

The prerequisite for employment is a completed academic university degree in engineering, applied mathematics or natural sciences. We expect above-average academic performance, good knowledge of flow and transport processes in porous media and numerical methods for solving flow and transport equations, good programming skills and experience, as well as enthusiasm for scientific work and teamwork.

Equal opportunities and diversity are core values at Leibniz University Hannover. Our goal is to tap into individual potential and open up possibilities. We therefore welcome applications from anyone interested in the position, irrespective of gender, nationality, ethnic origin, religion or ideology, disability, age, sexual orientation and identity.

We strive towards a balanced and diverse workforce and a reduction in under-representation in accordance with the Lower Saxony Equal Rights Act (Niedersächsisches Gleichberechtigungsgesetz – NGG). We therefore particularly encourage applications for the above-mentioned position from women. Preference will be given to equally-qualified candidates with disabilities.

What do we offer?

We offer an attractive position in an interdisciplinary team and in a highly topical research area. Aiming for a doctoral degree at the end of the project is explicitly encouraged.

As a family-friendly university, working hours can be organised according to various flexible models. Part-time employment as well as remote work (mobile work, work from home) can therefore be arranged upon request. We support employees with balancing work and family life, through services such as back-up childcare, childcare during school holidays, and parent-child offices, as well as providing individual advice regarding family responsibilities and caring for dependants.
