We seek a talented and engaged PhD student willing to be part of a world-leading research environment and contribute to the development of the next generation of offshore wind power plants, optimized for operation with offshore energy hubs.

The Division for Power and Energy Systems at the Department of Wind and Energy Systems provides cutting-edge research in sustainable, reliable and cost-efficient energy systems to the benefit of society. At the Department, you will enjoy the advantages of a creative and inspiring work environment shared with about 400 highly skilled and motivated colleagues.

The PhD student will join an international team of postdocs and PhD students that, together with senior academic staff and industry partners, develop methods and solutions for the establishment of very large Offshore Energy Hubs, all part of the flagship project Offshore Energy Hubs.
