Conducting research for a changing society: This is what drives us at Forschungs­zentrum Jülich. As a member of the Helm­holtz Asso­ciation, we aim to tackle the grand societal challenges of our time and conduct research into the possi­bilities of a digitized society, a climate-friendly energy system, and a resource-efficient economy. Work together with around 7,400 employees in one of Europe’s biggest research centers and help us to shape change!
At the Institute of Climate and Energy Systems – Jülich Systems Analysis, we investigate how a sustainable energy system could look like. In order to achieve the goal of greenhouse gas neutrality, so-called negative emission paths must be taken to offset remaining residual emissions in addition to a strict defossilization of the energy system. CO2 capture from the ambient air and its permanent sequestration (Direct Air Capture and Storage [DACS]) represents an important technical solution within these pathways. We are leading an exciting joint research project on this technology with top-class research partners from six different Helmholtz centers and the TU Berlin (DACStorE – https://www.dacstore-project.com/de). In this interdisciplinary research project, we are working on the ramp-up of DACS technology for widespread use to provide negative emissions. Become part of the lead of this successful research project and contribute your ideas and creativity to develop solutions for this major challenge.
Join our team to the next possible date as
Postdoc – Scientific Lead of a Joint Research Project in the Field of Direct Air Capture and Storage
Your Job:
As the scientific lead of the DACStorE project, you will coordinate the collaboration of the project partners on a scientific level. In particular, you will lead the exchange between the subprojects, advance the scientific work, and represent the project in the exchange with stakeholders from science, politics, industry, and society. In these activities, you will be supported by a project coordinator. As the head of the “technology assessment” subproject, you will be in charge of the global analyses of suitable locations for the construction and operation of DACS systems. These analyses will be carried out using the institute’s FINE model framework (https://github.com/FZJ-IEK3-VSA/FINE), in which detailed optimization models for potential analyses and the design of DACS plants are created. In this context, you will supervise doctoral students working on these research topics at the institute division and support them in writing their dissertations. Your tasks in detail:
