Benefits offered by this job
Job summary
A two-year postdoctoral position in process systems engineering at Aarhus University, Denmark, focuses on integrating reversible solid oxide electrolysis with biogas and methanation. The role combines modelling, system integration, and techno-economic evaluation to enable flexible operation and scale-up under dynamic electricity and heat demand.
The successful candidate will develop Aspen Plus models, perform heat integration studies, and contribute to an EUDP project with industry
Qualifications
- PhD in chemical/biochemical/energy engineering or related field.
- Strong background in process modelling, thermodynamics, and energy balances.
- Experience with process-simulation software (Aspen Plus/HYSYS).
- Experience with techno-economic analysis and data analysis tools.
- Ability to work independently and publish high-quality results in peer-reviewed journals.
Responsibilities
- Develop process models for core unit operations in Aspen Plus or similar software.
- Establish mass and energy balances for electrolysis, methanation, biogas processing, and heat recovery.
- Evaluate interactions between hydrogen production and biological uptake.
- Identify heat-integration opportunities between SOEC and biogas facilities.
- Run simulations under variable conditions and dispatch models for price/renewables scenarios.
- Perform techno-economic, sensitivity, and uncertainty analyses.
