Job description:
We are seeking a PhD student to join the research project IGWN (Innovative Geothermal-based Heating Networks) to investigate the potential for shallow geothermal energy systems in the German region of Oberschwaben. Your task will be to develop analytical and numerical approaches for quantifying the available amount of heat and cold in the subsurface in 2D and 3D. In this context, you will also deal with spatial uncertainties in the geological and hydrogeological boundary conditions by employing geostatistical methods. Accounting for economic aspects as well, you will develop concepts for geothermal exploration and use, and present these in workshops with local stakeholders.
You will be part of a collaborative project with natioanl partners from universities, research institutions and industry. The project aims at contributing to the development of concepts and demonstration sites for geothermal solutions for heating supply in the region of Oberschwaben.
If eligible, you will join the PhD program at the KIT Department of Civil Engineering, Geo and Environmental Science, where you have the option to complete a PhD.
This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation.
