Job description:

As part of the research project RISEnergy - Research Infrastructure Services for Renewable Energy, a multi-criteria assessment system for analysing and evaluating different renewable energy technologies is to be developed at the Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS).

The work will be carried out in close co-operation with the project partners.

The following subtasks are to be performed:

Preparation of a white paper on selected sustainability indicators (in particular techno-economic and LCA-based) and respective research gaps in relation to the above-mentioned technologies and provision of corresponding data sets for the project partners for download
Development of a multicriteria evaluation scheme including a decision matrix (consisting of sustainability criteria, performance values, weighting factors, etc.) for the respective technologies and provision of related data sets in an existing software tool for multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA).
Support in the further development of the abovementioned software tool into a web tool with selected functions required for the project context.
Preparation and realisation of (online) workshops with RISEnergy project partners to demonstrate the tool and its use for decision support.
This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation._

Company:

The Helmholtz Association contributes to solving major challenges to assure the future of our society.

With more than 39,000 people on staff in 18 national research centres, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organization.

The name Helmholtz stands for concerted research in which networks form the key principle behind inquiring thought and action. Concerted research is efficient and flexible.

The profile of the Helmholtz Association
The Helmholtz Association performs cutting-edge research which contributes substantially to solving the grand challenges of science, society and industry.

To succeed in meeting these responsibilities, Helmholtz concentrates its work in six research fields:
Energy, Earth and Environment, Health, Key Technologies, Matter, as well as Aeronautics, Space and Transport. Within each of these fields, research programs are developed by our scientists and regularly evaluated by renowned international experts. Their evaluation forms the basis for the programme-oriented funding that is allocated to Helmholtz research.

Within the six research fields, Helmholtz scientists cooperate with each other and with external partners - working across disciplinary, organizational and national borders.

Promoting young academics

Helmholtz scientists, a high-performance infrastructure and modern and efficient research management are the ingredients to the Helmholtz Association's success and global impact.

Promoting young researchers is a major priority for the Helmholtz Association. Its qualification schemes for young researchers are geared mainly towards PhD students, postdocs and young managers. The Helmholtz Association has set high standards for its talent management.

Its strategy begins with targeted recruitment of highly qualified staff at all levels, followed by comprehensive support aimed at further developing their potential.

Ensuring equal opportunities is an essential element in all talent management activities undertaken by the Helmholtz Association.

The Helmholtz Graduate Schools and
Research Schools at almost all Helmholtz Centres provide doctoral students with the general and specific skills and training they need, as well as ample opportunity to network with other working groups. The period following a doctorate is decisive in determining the direction and success of a scientific career. For this reason, we are about to establish Career Centers for postdoctoral researchers in the Helmholtz centres and a mentoring programme for especially gifted PostDocs in order to foster career orientation. This equips young researchers with the skills they need to go on to head a
Helmholtz Young Investigators Group, for example. As a Young Investigator Group leader, junior scientists can independently set up
