Research Associate for Geothermal Modeling
Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel
The Institute of Geosciences at Kiel University is offering a research position in the Geohydromodelling research group:
Research Associate (M, F, D)
within the UPTES project, starting as soon as possible and limited until 31.08.2026.
If the requirements of the collective agreement are met, the employee will be assigned to German public pay group TV-L E13. The regular weekly working time corresponds to the scope of a full-time position and is currently 38.7 hours.
The Geohydromodelling research group focuses on the numerical simulation of flow and transport processes in single and multiphase flow systems in the geological subsurface. Applications include geothermal energy, heat and energy storage, carbon capture and storage and groundwater utilization. For this purpose, the necessary numerical simulation codes are developed and applied to address practical research questions in applied settings.
The offered position is part of the third-party funded project „Investigating the potential of deep borehole heat exchangers in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein” (Acronym: UPTES), financed by the EKSH. Within this project, the potential for applying the technology of deep borehole heat exchangers in combination with geological salt structures will be investigated. To this end, scenario analyses and parameter studies for selected areas in Schleswig-Holstein are used to investigate and evaluate the application potential of this technology.
Your task is to develop a simplified geological model for Schleswig-Holstein in order to identify suitable salt structures. On the basis of heat demand maps, promising potential areas for this technology will then be identified. Secondly, you will develop the model-based prerequisites for a numerical simulation of such deep geothermal probes as well as a flexible tool and harmonized workflow for the design and optimization of such deep geothermal heat exchangers. In the third step, you will apply these methods to the potential areas in the frame of case studies and thus evaluate the application potential of deep geothermal borehole heat exchangers.
Requirements
You are interested in the outlined scientific questions and the use of modern numerical simulation programs
You have an M.Sc. degree in geosciences, physics, geophysics, mathematics, engineering or a comparable course of study
You speak and write good English equivalent to level C1 or better and are a good communicator
You have basic knowledge of natural sciences and mathematics
You have programming experience in a programming language such as C/C++, Matlab or Python or in script creation
Desirable
You have already gained experience in the use of numerical simulation programs for heat transport in geological media
You have basic knowledge of geosciences
We offer you an interesting and stimulating interdisciplinary work environment with high-grade technical resources in our research group at the scientific campus of Kiel University. Within the project, you will have the opportunity to independently and collaboratively contribute to a highly relevant, future-oriented technology for confronting climate change as a contribution to the energy transition. Your contributions will not only involve developing insights and methods but also making them available for practical applications. You will acquire state-of-the-art methods in the simulation of geothermal systems in the geological subsurface. The project also provides opportunities for intensive interdisciplinary exchange with the project partners, including participation in international events such as scientific workshops and conferences.
Kiel University considers itself a modern and cosmopolitan employer. We welcome your application regardless of age, gender, cultural and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, or sexual identity. We promote gender equality. The university strongly encourages women with appropriate qualifications to apply for the position. Women with equivalent qualifications, competence and expertise will be given preference.
Kiel University also supports the employment of disabled persons. Persons with disabilities will, with appropriate qualification and aptitudes, be employed preferentially.
We also support the application of people with a migration background.
For further information, please contact Professor Dr. Sebastian Bauer at the Institute of Geosciences, Kiel University. Please submit your application, including a cover letter, CV, certificates, and the names of two references, as a pdf-document via email using the subject “Application UPTES“ to Prof. Dr. Sebastian Bauer by October, 30th 2024. (sebastian.bauer@ifg.uni-kiel.de).
We expressly waive the submission of photographs/application photos and therefore ask you to refrain from doing so. Please note that all documents will be destroyed once the recruitment process has been completed.
We would like to point out that applications containing only a CV are considered incomplete and unfortunately cannot be considered in the further procedure.
