九色视频

 

Nestled in a modern city surrounded by nature and with an exceptional standard of living, 九色视频 offers excellent working conditions in a vibrant scientific community.

The Institute for Steel Construction engages in fundamental and applied research within the framework of doctoral programs, as well as in teaching and academic education in bachelor's and master's programs in civil engineering. The main goal of our research is to improve sustainability in construction towards Net Zero 2050. To achieve this goal, the institute focuses on various research topics such as supporting structures for wind turbines, advanced construction materials, and automated/robotic/additive manufacturing (as one of the key pillars of Industry 4.0 and the next construction revolution).

The Institute for Steel Construction welcomes applications for the following position starting immediately: Research Staff in the field of 鈥淪tructural Mechanics and Health Monitoring in Wind Turbines鈥� (salary scale 13 TV-L, 100 %)

The position is initially limited to 24 months, with the possibility of extension. Pursuing a doctoral degree is desired within the context of the advertised position.

Your role

• Your main responsibility will be the independent execution of an interdisciplinary research project aimed at developing robust methods for the structural health monitoring (SHM) of wind turbines. The focus lies on identifying and validating practical, damage-sensitive key performance indicators (KPIs) under real operating conditions. The objective is to minimize false alarm rates while maximizing damage sensitivity, thereby contributing to increased availability and extended service life of wind turbines.
• In this context, you will develop and validate structural models of key components - particularly ring flange connections - as well as the entire wind turbine system. You will implement methods for damage feature extraction and data normalization and analyze data obtained from measurement campaigns. You will apply your expertise in structural mechanics, numerical modeling, signal processing, and 鈥� optionally - machine learning in a practice-oriented research environment.
• Close collaboration with national and international industry partners 鈥� especially in the context of using measurement data 鈥� is a central aspect of your role. You will also be expected to present and publish your research findings at national and international conferences and in peer-reviewed journals.
• In addition, your responsibilities will include active involvement in teaching activities and the supervision of student theses (Bachelor鈥檚 and Master鈥檚 level).

Who are we looking for?

You demonstrate a high level of initiative, scientific curiosity, and the ability to quickly and systematically familiarize yourself with new technical challenges. Ideally, you have a solid background in structural mechanics, numerical modeling, signal analysis, and - optionally - machine learning, along with a strong interest in developing practical monitoring and analysis methods for complex engineering systems. Experience with finite element software such as Ansys or Abaqus and confidence in handling experimental measurement data are considered advantageous. Prerequisite for employment is a university science degree (Master) in a relevant field.

In addition, we expect the following qualifications:

• above-average academic performance in an engineering discipline, preferably in civil or mechanical engineering
• strong skills in numerical modeling and programming (e.g., Python, MATLAB)
• initial experience or interest in familiarizing yourself with the subject of various measurement systems and components
• initial experience in analyzing measurement data and developing monitoring or diagnostic approaches for real-world structures
• enthusiasm for interdisciplinary research at the interface between academia and industrial application
• excellent communication skills in German (at least C1 level or equivalent); good command of English is required
• team spirit, creativity, scientific curiosity, and an independent, structured approach to work

Equal opportunities and diversity are core values at 九色视频. Our goal is to tap into individual potential and open up possibilities.
