The Institute for Resource Ecology (IRE) at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) in Dresden, Germany is inviting qualified candidates to apply for a Fully Funded PhD position in the Development of Digital Twins.
About the Project
The Institute of Resource Ecology performs research to protect humans and the environment from hazards caused by pollutants resulting from technical processes that produce energy and raw materials.
The development of Digital Twins (DT) for complex installations such as a deep geological repository for nuclear waste is both a strategic necessity and a challenge. The Department of Actinide Thermodynamics of the Institute of Resource Ecology is looking for a PhD Student (f/m/d) providing contributions to a digital twin for a deep geological repository for radioactive waste with the focus on contaminant transport.
Your Tasks
Literature survey for State-of-the-Art report for DT concepts and implementations in nuclear waste disposal
Identification of suitable models for major processes of radionuclide migration in the geological environment, as well as respective codes / solvers
Connecting codes in an interactive way, including data bases, with respective documentations
Evaluation of DT modules with respect to their efficiency and robustness
Simulations (proof-of-concept) of radionuclide transport based on the DT and consequence analyses
Preparation of publications to scientific journals and presentation of results in conferences
Cooperation within the project partners at KIT and FZ Jülich
Qualifications
Completed university studies (Master/Diploma) in the field of Chemistry, Physics, Geo Sciences or Computer Sciences or related field
Understanding of computational approaches to large scale simulations
Basic knowledge of (geo)chemical processes will be of advantage
Expertise in Machine Learning approaches, ideally beyond neural networks
Good interdisciplinary communication skills
Excited about working as a team player in a group of multidisciplinary scientists.
