Help us shape the future of energy! The energy transition is one of the greatest challenges of our time. At the Institute of Climate and Energy Systems – Jülich System Analysis (ICE-2), we conduct scientifically sound and data-driven research into what sustainable energy systems could look like. To this end, we analyze complex scenarios based on heterogeneous data sources and develop innovative software workflows. However, much of the available data and models remain unused because integrating them has been too costly and time-consuming. As part of a national joint project, we are using semantic technologies and modern data science methods to change this. Join our team and help us develop solutions for transparent, automated, and reproducible energy systems research!
Your Job:
As part of an interdisciplinary team, you will develop approaches for the automated and large-scale provision and integration of energy systems data and models and apply data science methods to make them usable for transparent energy systems analyses. The collected data will be processed and semantically enriched using methods you develop before being transferred to a knowledge graph-based metadata platform that you will help develop. In collaboration with stakeholders from energy research, you will develop methods to increase data and software interoperability, enabling the automated reuse of energy systems analysis processes. In line with FAIR and Linked Open Data principles, you will design interfaces that enable the smooth processing of big data in the context of scientific, AI-driven energy systems research – scalable, transparent, and interoperable. Your tasks in detail:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We offer ideal conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree:
