Job Description

We seek an enthusiastic and engaged postdoc willing to be part of a world-leading research environment and contribute to developing the next generation of data driven methods for optimization and control of large wind power plants. You will get the opportunity to participate and influence the development of comprehensive design optimization and data driven control for wind power plants in collaboration with the top universities wind energy research in Europe and beyond. 

You will be a part of Horizon Europe TWAIN project  which applies advanced systems engineering and optimization methods to multidisciplinary research that bridges key domains of wind and renewable energy. 

The Division for Power and Energy Systems at the Department of Wind and Energy Systems provides cutting-edge research in sustainable, reliable and cost-efficient energy systems to the benefit of society. At the Department, you will enjoy the advantages of a creative and inspiring work environment shared with about 400 highly skilled and motivated colleagues.

Responsibilities and qualifications
