About this position

Forschungszentrum Jülich is offering a doctoral position in the Institute of Climate and Energy Systems – Energy Systems Engineering (ICE-1), focused on dynamic simulation of large-scale energy grids using supercomputing infrastructures.

The project addresses the increasing complexity and vulnerability of integrated multi-energy systems driven by renewable generation, electrification, and highly variable spatial and temporal conditions. The doctoral researcher will contribute to a next-generation simulation platform designed for real-time or faster-than-real-time analysis of energy grids and related systems.

The research will involve designing and implementing parallel algorithms for large-scale dynamic systems, including differential-algebraic and ordinary differential equation models. The researcher will further develop simulation methods to improve accuracy, scalability, and numerical stability, while optimizing performance on heterogeneous CPU and GPU architectures through advanced parallelization techniques.

As part of the work, the researcher will apply and validate new methods in internal simulation tools and conduct security and resilience studies across different grid and system scenarios. The role also includes supervising Bachelor's and Master's students, representing the institute at national and international forums, and disseminating findings through scientific publications and conference presentations.

The doctoral researcher will join an international and interdisciplinary HPC environment with access to advanced scientific and technical infrastructure. Academic supervision for the doctoral studies will be provided by Prof. Benigni at RWTH Aachen University, alongside expert guidance within Forschungszentrum Jülich. The position is based at the Jülich research campus and offers opportunities for conferences, project meetings, professional development, and scientific networking.

The advertised role offers a structured research environment for doctoral training in electrical engineering, high-performance computing, mathematical modeling, parallel algorithms, and resilient energy-system simulation.

Funding details

The position is paid according to pay group 13 at 75% of the TVöD-Bund scale, depending on qualifications and assigned responsibilities. The package includes an additional year-end bonus equivalent to 75% of a monthly salary under the collective agreement and capital-forming benefits. The fixed-term appointment lasts 3.5 years, with the first six months serving as an orientation and probation period.

What's required

A Master's degree in electrical engineering or a related field is required, along with a very strong mathematical and algorithmic background. Applicants should have programming experience in Python, C++ or similar languages and familiarity with parallel programming frameworks such as MPI or CUDA. Very good written and spoken English with an extensive vocabulary is required, at least at B2 level according to the CEFR, ideally supported by a language certificate. Candidates should be able to work cooperatively in a team and demonstrate an independent and analytical working style.
