Who we are...
Wind energy is our primary focus. Our institute is home to more than 250 employees and students from over 30 countries pursuing careers in applied research and development. We achieve this with a combination of an internationally unique testing infrastructure and extensive methods expertise in the fields of the reliability and validation of wind turbines.

These duties are awaiting you...
Fraunhofer IWES, as partner in the LIKE consortium, provides a PhD position for the project Combination of floating lidar measurements with numerical modelling for an integrated offshore wind resource assessment (ESR 4). The overall research objective of the PhD project is to investigate how floating lidar technology, installed on a frequently running ferry connection, should be applied in an optimal way to assess wind energy relevant offshore wind resources and site conditions, both in combination with mesoscale flow modelling and the use of satellite remote sensing data. Amongst other things, this includes the definition of the optimal lidar setup and configuration for this type of application, an integrated data concept considering the different data sources, a methodology for an optimal combination of different data sources, and a comprehensive uncertainty assessment.

Bored? Not here!
Your day-to-day work is very varied as you will combine high-level research with industry relevant applications. You will have your position at Fraunhofer IWES but also be part of a European network of young researchers including trainings and research stays at different institutions - in particular, you will have three secondments of 2 - 3 months each at the University Bergen (Norway), the University Oldenburg (Germany) and DTU Wind Energy (Denmark).
