As we move toward cleaner energy systems, the way we plan and optimize energy systems becomes critical in steering this shift. As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will conduct innovative research in energy modeling and optimization across diverse energy sources.
The Postdoctoral Researcher is expected to work on European Commission projects and national projects funded by the Dutch Research Council that are focused on energy systems logistics.
As an example, a representative task would involve analyzing past energy consumption patterns and forecasting future energy scenarios for a specific region for hydrogen. These scenarios feed into the energy optimization models you develop and solve. The goal is to identify factors influencing the energy transition, assess potential risks, and create a comprehensive roadmap for an affordable shift to low-carbon, hydrogen-based energy solutions. Additionally, by examining the ecosystem surrounding hydrogen use, you will pinpoint key business opportunities, risks, and investment needs, providing valuable guidance for stakeholders in the energy industry.
The role will require frequent presentation of research findings at meetings and workshops, the preparation of quarterly progress reports, and the publication of papers in peer-reviewed journals and at international conferences.
