3. Fully Funded PhD Position in material-energy feedbacks in transition modelling
Summary of PhD Program:
Stabilizing the climate requires an urgent transition to renewable energy systems, inducing a large increase in material demand. Additionally, the ongoing digitalization of our societies competes for similar materials, increasing the pressure on global supply chains. The availability and accessibility of secondary raw materials, as well as the implementation of circular strategies such as reuse or refurbishment, can help to reduce supply bottlenecks and thus accelerate the transition.
In this context, our Technology and Society Laboratory (TSL) is looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to develop a method explicitly considering material-energy feedback loops in transition scenarios. TSL is dedicated to creating and transferring knowledge supporting the transformation to a sustainable society within planetary boundaries by analyzing and evaluating novel materials and technologies from a circularity, life cycle impacts and safety perspective and by providing guidance for designing more sustainable materials, technologies and systems

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Occupant-centric flexibility quantification and dispatch
Summary of PhD Program:
In the framework of MSCA DN CoDEF project, we are looking for a motivated and experienced PhD candidate to perform occupant-centric flexibility analysis. A particular focus lies on the quantification and dispatch of flexibility to support energy system operation. Challenges encompass – among others -, modeling physical systems and stochastic human behaviors. Historical data in the Empa’s NEST demonstrator and its inhouse digital twin will be utilized to quantification and dispatch flexibility. The candidate shall translate his/her research ideas to tackle these challenges, in close collaboration with our interdisciplinary team and external scientific and industry partners. The candidate will support our master students, publish in scientific journals, and participate in conferences.
