Researcher Wind Energy Applications ‒ Atmospheric Flow Modeling

Job description

At the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES, the energy transition becomes a reality every day. Our focus topics are: offshore wind energy, hydrogen, test infrastructure and digitization. More than 400 employees – including around 100 students – from over 50 countries work at nine locations in scientific and non-scientific teams on the development of innovative methods to accelerate the expansion of the wind energy and hydrogen economy, minimize risks, and increase cost efficiency. Do you want to join us in shaping a sustainable future? Be part of change: You will be part of the “Numerical Yield and Site Assessment” group at our site in Oldenburg. We develop methods for evaluating the yield of wind turbines and wind farm sites. To do so, we transfer models from fundamental research to industrial applications and further develop them. At present, the team consists of eight employees and several students. We support each other irrespective of our projects and backgrounds. A culture of open exchange and cooperation, even beyond team boundaries and sites, are particularly important to us. In this role, you will continue to develop numerical models (e.g., WRF, ICON, PALM, o...
