Germany - Max Planck Institute PhD or Postdoc Position in Modellling and Optimisation of Biomass-Fed Fuel Cell Systems

Doktorarbeit / PostDoc-Stelle: Modelling and optimisation of biomass-fed fuel cell systems

Max Planck / Fraunhofer Joint Research Initiative PROBIO

The Department of Physical and Chemical Process Engineering (Prof. Dr.-Ing. K. Sundmacher, www.mpi-magdeburg.mpg.de/research/groups/pcp/) at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg, Germany, is inviting applications for

PhD or Postdoc Position (TVöD E13, former BAT IIa): Modelling and optimisation of biomass-fed fuel cell systems

within the joint research initiative PROBIO of the Max Planck Institute together with two departments of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. The project is designed to develop an efficient technology for converting solid biomass into gases which after multi-step cleaning can be transformed into electricity and high-valued heat using fuel cells.

A special focus of our research activities is on model-based process synthesis. The project includes the completion of an already existing library of short-cut models for unit operations, the development of a suitable process superstructure, and its optimisation with numerical MINLP methods. Further tasks in this project are the system optimisation with respect to partial load behaviour, varying power demand and robustness against variation of biomass composition. The candidate will work in an inter­disciplinary research team and will be advised by experienced senior scientists.

Germany - University of Bonn PhD Position in Numerical Modeling of Atmospheric Chemical Process

Research field:
Numerical modeling of atmospheric chemical processes

Position:
A PhD position is available at the Meteorological Institute of the University of Bonn.
Together with another Postdoc student, the applicant will work within a common research project of the Meteorological Institutes of the Universities of Bonn and Mainz and the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemistry in Mainz.

Contract:
The research is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). It is limited to a three year period with a salary TVL 13/2.

Proposed research of the project:
Numerical modeling of chemical processes in the atmosphere is essential to increase our understanding of atmospheric composition and its changes induced by human activity. In recent years, global-scale atmospheric models have been developed that calculate the concentration and processing of atmospheric trace constituents. However, for key problems, auch as local air quality and long-range transport from local sources, the development of high-resolution models is essential.
