Do you want to get a taste of practical work during your studies? Great, as we are always looking for new talents!

What you will do

Our fields of research are very diverse ...

At our site in Oldenburg, we focus on aerodynamics and numerical wind energy meteorology. We are always looking for active support, which offers you insights into the latest research and development projects. Are you wondering what that would look like? To name just one example, you can apply your knowledge and expertise to improve and validate the accuracy of wind farm shadow flow models. Perhaps you are more interested in the simulation of wind turbine aerodynamics? Or maybe you enjoy programming? We are still the right place to be! Are you passionate about weather or climate change and its impact on wind energy generation? Those are all topics which are relevant to us. Hydrogen is more your thing? Great, as we also deal with flow simulation in electrolysis at our site. Get actively involved; we are keen to hear your ideas! As an international oriented IWES-team, we highly appreciate an open exchange, whether this be in German or English. Respectful cooperation is also very important to us.
