Doctoral Researcher (M/F/x) on the project

"Life Cycle Assessment of seasonal heat storage technologies"

Starting date:
January 2024, limited to 3 years, 75 per cent of full-time employment.

The salary conforms to the regulations of pay group 13 TV-L depending on the nature of the assigned tasks

We are an international team of geologists, environmental scientists and engineers with a special interest in

interdisciplinary research. A strong focus is on geo-energy and the development of environmentally beneficial

A key task will be setting up the models with validated data. This will be complemented by refining Life Cycle

Impact Assessment (LCIA) indicators to account for the specifics of the studied storage technologies.
