Unser Profil:

At the chair for High Voltage Technology (HVT), we conduct research on the essential building blocks of the future electrical power system that enable the transition to a climate-neutral society.

We investigate individual technology components, relying on state-of-the-art laboratories for high-voltage experiments, and verify how they can be applied in the electrical power system using detailed simulation models and real-time hardware-in-the-loop experiments.

Our research areas include the development and investigation of AC and DC switchgear, new insulation materials as well as technologies and concepts for the realization of HVDC systems.

In doing so, we use the intensive exchange between our individual research groups as well as the entire IAEW to jointly develop and research innovative solutions.

Join us and together with many national and international research and industry partners, we shape the energy system of the future

Ihr Profil:

You own a university degree (master's degree or equivalent) with the main field in electrical engineering or a related field of study (e.g., in Mathematics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Physics).

You are fluent in English - both spoken and written - and have at least a B1 level of German and would like to improve it.

You enjoy independently working on a dedicated project, involving the analysis of large problems, finding and rigorous implementation of creative solutions.

You are able to organize and carry out work by yourself, but you are also a team-player that enjoys collaborating with colleagues.

You enjoy reporting the outcomes of your work to peers, both in writing and in presentation. You are keen to gain in-depth technical expertise and to improve yourself as a professional researcher.

You are highly motivated to develop cutting-edge approaches that enable the design and operation of the future renewable-driven AC/DC power system.

You have a strong interest in electrical power engineering, where experience with one of the following fields is an advantage:

High voltage equipment and technology
Primary technology such as switchgear and transformers
Insulation systems for power cables, transformers or bushings
Power electronic converters
Electrical power systems

Ihre Aufgaben:

As part of our team, you will work on innovative research projects with the aim of a doctoral degree.

Through the close interaction with industry and academia, you will have the opportunity to develop your expertise, build an extensive network and play an active role in shaping a climate-friendly future.

Depending on your interests and research project, various experimental and simulative methods will be used. In addition, you will support university teaching, student theses and project work.
