wind farms
In the research group "Fundamentals of Turbulence and Complex Systems" (TuCS) at the Institute of Physics of the University of Oldenburg, as well as at the Center for Wind Energy Research ForWind, the position as a
Research Assistant / Doctoral student (f/m/d)
(75% of a regular working time; German public service paygrade TV-L E13)
The planned work in the field of experimental wind energy and turbulence research is part of the program "Transformation of the Energy System in Lower Saxony" (TEN.efzn), funded by the joint science funding initiative "zukunft.niedersachsen" of the Lower Saxony Ministry for Science and Culture and the Volkswagen Foundation. The research program runs until the end of September 2029 and is structured into six research platforms.
The interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research platform "Reallabor (Living Lab) 70GW Offshore Wind", led by Prof. Avila in Oldenburg, supports the expansion of offshore wind energy in the North Sea and addresses technological, ecological, and social science ques-tions. In addition to scientific surveys, the project includes intensive field measurements of the atmosphere, turbines, and ocean currents, as well as extensive laboratory experiments. The consortium consists of 23 project leaders across six research institutions and is funded for a duration of five years.

Activities and responsibilities
In the subproject advertised here, the flow conditions in offshore wind farms, particularly at high altitudes, will be investigated. The focus lies on the turbulent-non-turbulent boundary layer at the transition to the free atmosphere and how these wind con-ditions affect the turbine wakes and loads in the first three rows of a wind farm. The corre-sponding inflow conditions wind will be replicated in a wind tunnel to analyze the loads and wakes using state-of-the-art optical measurement methods (e.g., Lagrangian Particle Track-ing). In addition to traditional scientific work (e.g., publications, conference presentations), in-terdisciplinary collaboration within the research consortium is expected as well as participation in the transfer and communication of results in line with the living lab approach. Further re-sponsibilities include supervising Bachelor’s and Master’s theses, contributing to teaching and assisting with project proposals.
Qualification profile
Prerequisite for employment is a successfully completed academic degree (Master’s or Di-ploma) in physics, engineering, or a comparable field of study. Knowledge of fluid dynamics or nonlinear systems and excellent English skills are required. Experience in laboratory experi-ments would be a significant asset, particularly in the area of turbulence transition in flows. Advanced knowledge of optical flow measurement techniques such as PIV, data analysis (in Python or MATLAB) and/or fluid-structure interactions would be ideal. Applicants should have an interest in designing new experiments and in learning and developing methods of stochastic and spatiotemporal analyses.
We offer
Working environment: We offer globally unique laboratory infrastructure for wind energy re-search and are a young, interdisciplinary team consisting of physicists, engineers, and mete-orologists. By working with the wind tunnel, you will become part of a dynamic and supportive team of experimenters, and for the analysis you will receive close supervision from a postdoc-toral researcher within the same subproject. The position provides an opportunity for your own academic advancement (PhD). We conduct fundamental research (e.g., in DFG collaborative projects) as well as applied research in collaboration with industry. The living lab offers a unique chance to contribute scientifically to Germany's urgent energy transformation at the forefront of research, while engaging with civil society and policymakers.
