Additionally, you are experienced in the use of optimization software, able to work cooperatively and
communicatively with partners from the joint project.
Experience in mathematical modeling of problems in the energy industry is an advantage. We expect excellent communication and teamwork skills, a high level of independence and commitment as well as the competence and willingness to write scientific publications on an international level.
We offer
a friendly working atmosphere with flexible work and meeting times, excellent equipment and a challenging professional environment
