InnoCyPES targets at the key bottlenecks of digital transformation of the current energy system, where the ESRs are expected to study, investigate and improve various facets of digitalized and interconnected energy systems. Supervised by a consortium of prominent and experienced academic institutions, research institutes and industrial partners, they will collaboratively develop a cutting-edge system management platform that covers the entire lifecycle of data for energy system planning, operation and maintenance, based on an understanding of the energy system as a cyber-physical system.
The ESR will be enrolled in an intensive doctoral training program that is both intersectoral – involving key stakeholders – and interdisciplinary, including information science, energy systems engineering and social science.
Benefits
All InnoCyPES ESRs will benefit from:
- Extensive training in technical and transferrable skills;
- Participation to network events, workshops and conferences;
- A prestigious three-year MSCA Fellowship;
- A competitive salary including mobility and family allowances;
- Intersectoral secondment experience.
Qualifications
Applicants shall have proven interest in interdisciplinary and intersectoral research, and with specific interest in the InnoCyPES research areas as evidenced by the application documents. Besides, the following requirements are to be met:
1) have obtained their Master of Science degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or equivalent;
2) An excellent academic record (grades of B or higher)
3) have engineering background relevant to the following areas but not limited to: distributed computing, databases, distributed data management, security and privacy; knowledge of times series storage and analysis is a plus;
4) have good command of English (minimum C1 or equivalent).
Requirements
The applicants must fulfill the following conditions:
1) Early stage researchers: Applicants must be early-stage researchers, which means at the date of start, be in the first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their research careers and have not been awarded a doctoral degree;
2) Mobility Rule: researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the host institute for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the recruitment date. Compulsory national service, short stays such as holidays, and time spent as part of a procedure for obtaining refugee status under the Geneva Convention1 are not taken into account. For international European interest organisations, international organisations, the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) or an 'entity created under Union law', recruited researchers must not have spent more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the recruitment date at the same appointing organisation.
Are you interested?
If you are interested in this exciting and challenging opportunity, please apply. Applicants of any age and of any nationality are eligible. The recruitment process follows an open, transparent, impartial, equitable and merit-based procedure and the European Charter and Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.

Open ESR position
ESR4: Large scale data management
The sheer quantum of data being created and collected across jurisdictions requires a carefully planned and proactive approach to data management. The need for fusion and integration of multiple data sources characterized by fragmented data ownership is driving innovative approaches to large scale distributed data management and integration to avoid inconsistent and inaccurate data. The aim is to investigate, design and implement a fully decentralized solution to provide efficient management of dynamically updated information and support for distributed queries. One or more domain specific use cases shall be identified within the context of the project, considering both the current and future needs of some of the involved partners. These nicely fit into the ESR research plan, owing to the need of surveying the user's requirements to begin with; simultaneously, the uses cases can also be thought of as sources of advanced data management challenges.
