Offer Description

At the School II – Computing Science, Business Administration, Economics, and Law – of the Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg , there will be as soon as possible a vacancy in the Department of Computing Science within the research group “Distributed Control in Interconnected Systems” (Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andreas Rauh) for two

Research Assistants (m/f/d)
(salary group 13 TV-L, 100%)

for a period of three years. The positions are suitable for part-time employment. The opportunity for personal qualification (doctoral studies) will be given.

 

Essential requirements:

• Master’s degree or diploma in a research-oriented university degree program in computer science, electrical engineering, mechatronics or technomathematics
• Profound mathematical skills with regard to modeling and simulation of dynamic systems
• Profound programming skills in Matlab, C++ or Python
• Excellent knowledge of written and spoken English (level B2 or higher of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages)
• Interest in the development of simulation, state estimation, and control methods for a sustainable battery production

Initial experience in at least one of the areas of robust control, state estimation, electrochemistry or sensitivity analysis of complex dynamic systems is desirable.

The tasks are embedded into the international research project “Flexible and Scalable Digital-Twin Platform for Enhanced Production Efficiency and Yield in Battery Cell Production Lines” funded by the European Union and each comprise one of the following areas:

Research focus 1:

o Development of digital twins for selected stages of the battery cell production
o Development of methods for the characterization of measurement uncertainty, actuator tolerances and their impact on the quality of the battery cell production
o Integration of the uncertainty models into the digital twins to be developed in the project

Research focus 2:

o Integration of battery cell production digital twins into predictive and iterative learning control processes, e.g. with the aim of energy optimization
o Development of real-time approaches for monitoring and quality control of the battery cell production

• Preparation of project reports in the context of this research project
• Exchange of research results with the academic and industrial partners involved in this project
• Presentation of research results at project meetings and international conferences

The department Distributed Control in Interconnected Systems offers you:

• A pleasant and professionally interesting working environment
• Excellent opportunities for professional/scientific development, including the possibility to perform doctorate degree (PhD) seeking studies
• Active participation in specialized conferences
• The salary is based on the collective agreement for the public service  in the German federal states, TV-L E13 .
