Research Associate for Real-Time Control Algorithms for Wind Turbines | Wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/in für Echtzeitalgorithmen zur Regelung von Windenergieanlagen d/m/w

Job Summary

This full-time research position at Flensburg University of Applied Sciences focuses on the 'Advanced Model Based Control' (AMBC) project. You will work on bringing nonlinear model predictive control technology to industrial maturity for wind turbines. Your daily responsibilities include implementing real-time capable algorithms, developing automated models and optimization tools, and connecting these systems to a real plant via a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test bench. Additionally, you will support project administration, supervise students, and publish scientific findings. This role is ideal for engineers or computer scientists looking to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial application. The position offers a unique opportunity to pursue a doctorate while working in a modern laboratory infrastructure on a campus located by the Baltic Sea. The contract is fixed-term until March 31, 2029, and provides a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment with professional development benefits.
