TUD Dresden University of Technology, as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most
dynamic research institutions in the country. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented,
regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. It
develops innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic
programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social
sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity
and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all
employees in teaching, research, technology, and administration. The goal is to promote and develop
their individual abilities while empowering everyone to reach their full potential. TUD embodies a
university culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, mutual appreciation, thriving innovation
and active participation. For TUD, diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent
university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their
achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.

At the Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering, Institute of Power Engineering, the Chair
of Hydrogen and Nuclear Energy offers a project position as

Research Associate (m/f/x)
(subject to personal qualification employees are remunerated according to salary group E 13 TV-L)

starting as soon as possible. The position is limited to 12 months. The period of employment is
governed by § 2 (2) Fixed Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz-WissZeitVG).
The position offers the chance to obtain further academic qualification. Balancing family and career
is an important issue. The position is generally suitable for candidates seeking part-time employment.
Please indicate the request in your application. In case of part-time employment, there is an option to
prolong the duration.

Tasks: In the "Nuclear Powered Hydrogen Cogeneration (NPHyCO)" research project, concepts for
nuclear hydrogen co-generation are investigated with the aim of preparing a project draft for a pilot
plant that can be put into operation in the short term. Furthermore, the technical and economic
feasibility and the attractiveness in comparison to other equivalent hydrogen production types (blue,
green, turquoise ...) should be shown. It is important to gain knowledge about the linking of nuclear
power plants in operation (mainly of the WWER type) and newly built hydrogen plants and to
determine an optimal degree of integration. Together with the European project partners, a safety
and risk assessment for the co-synthesis of hydrogen from nuclear energy is to be developed. From
the results of the calculations, a guideline with suggestions for ensuring safe plant operation is to be
developed. The project is highly interdisciplinary and offers the opportunity for personal development
in the fields of hydrogen and nuclear energy technology.

Requirements: university degree (diploma, master) and if applicable with a PhD degree in mechanical
engineering, process engineering, physics or a related subject; good knowledge of mathematics and
physics; ability to communicate in English. Interdisciplinary thinking, independent scientific work and
active communication with scientific partners are essential for the successful implementation of the
project. Knowledge of hydrogen and nuclear energy technology is desirable.

TUD strives to employ more women in academia and research. We therefore expressly encourage
women to apply. The University is a certified family-friendly university and offers a Dual Career
Service. We welcome applications from candidates with disabilities. If multiple candidates prove to be
equally qualified, those with disabilities or with equivalent status pursuant to the German Social Code
IX (SGB IX) will receive priority for employment.
