Descrizione del lavoro

ETH Zurich invites applications for a Postdoctoral position in Process & Energy Systems Modeling within the Geothermal Energy & Geofluids (GEG) Group. The role focuses on physics-based numerical modeling, software development, and techno-economic evaluation of engineered energy systems, including integration of an open-source power plant and wellbore flow simulator into the TANGO platform.

Ideal candidates have a PhD in a relevant engineering field, strong modeling and programming skills

Competenze

• PhD in a relevant engineering field (Mechanical, Process, Chemical, Energy, Thermal, Computational).
• Strong grounding in engineering thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and energy conversion.
• Proven capability in developing physics-based simulators and models in Python with version control and testing.

Mansioni

• Formulate, implement, and maintain numerical models and software for energy/process components.
• Simulate, optimize, and analyze integrated energy conversion systems including geothermal plants and ORC cycles.
• Integrate physical models with economic calculations (LCOE, LCOH, NPV) and perform sensitivity analyses.
• Develop coupled surface-subsurface models for fluid flow, heat transfer, and pressure/temperature evolution.
• Write clean, modular code with Git workflows and automated testing.
