Dübendorf ZH, Schweiz EMPA Vollzeit

Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cutting-edge research, Empa's around 1,100 employees make essential contributions to the well-being of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain
The postdoctoral researcher will work in a multidisciplinary team aiming at a holistic approach to model the technological landscape of a carbon-negative society, hence, approaching energy systems, materials fluxes, and social aspects from a systemic perspective which transcends the traditional silos. The postdoc will tightly collaborate with two other postdoctoral researchers, and will focus on (i) developing mathematical models (e.g., compartment models, network models, etc.) to explore the dynamics dominating opinion spreading and technology adoption across the society; (ii) describing the role of spatiotemporal heterogeneity on energy and material fluxes; (iii) coupling and integrating the individual system models (materials, energy, humans). The project will provide the bases to integrate and optimize carbon-negative technologies into planetary-scale systems. Your profile
The applicants must hold a recent PhD degree, preferably in physics, system engineering, computer science, mathematics, or related disciplines. A strong background in computational science and good intuition for physical systems are mandatory. The ideal candidate has demonstrated proficiency and hands-on experience with network and compartment models, as well as an excellent record of accomplishments and publications (for the corresponding career stage). Experience with societal modeling and dynamics is an asset. The candidate is a curious, passionate, and proactive individual that can autonomously advance the project, engaging in discussion with the other members of the research team.
