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. Leibniz University Hannover is committed to equal opportunities and diversity. The goal is to utilize everyone's
potential and to open up opportunities. We therefore welcome applications from all interested parties, regardless of their gender, nationality, ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age, sexual orientation, or identity.
