PhD Researcher in Energy Plant Technology | PhD (m/f/x) for 3 years with 39,83 hours per week, TV-L E13

Job Summary

This three-year doctoral position at the Chair of Energy Plant Technology (LEAT) at Ruhr University Bochum offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a European research project focused on high-temperature energy conversion. The successful candidate will engage in a dual-scope role involving both experimental and numerical work. Day-to-day responsibilities include modifying test rigs, conducting measurements, and developing models within multi-phase numerical simulation tools. You will also perform advanced CFD simulations of metal-fuel processes and analyze complex data sets. This position is ideal for candidates with a strong background in mechanical engineering or physics who wish to work at the forefront of energy conversion systems. The role is attractive due to its integration into a leading German research group and its participation in international European research, providing a robust platform for academic and professional development in the field of fluid mechanics and chemical reactions.
