Research Associate in the WENex collaborative project “ForeCoast: Intelligent Water and Energy Management System in Coastal Regions” (m/f/d)

“Besser studying” is the lived motto of the Jade University. In more than 60 innovative courses at Wilhelmshaven, Oldenburg and Elsfleth, more than 6,000 students are trained in a scientific and practical way. More than 170 professors as well as about 400 employees are involved in the concept of our university: innovative, competent, cooperative, diverse and facing. The acquisition of qualified employees is a key prerequisite for the continuation of their positive development. Due to the outstanding importance of artificial intelligence, the Jade Hochschule develops an identity as an AI university by 2030 and implements this identity in all areas of work. Senior Consultant (m/w/d) At the Jade Hochschule Wilhelmshaven/ Oldenburg/ Elsfleth, the Research and Transfer Unit at Campus Oldenburg will be the first in the WENex joint project "ForeCoast: Intelligent Water and Energy Management System in Coastal Regions". In July 2026, or at the earliest possible date, the abovementioned body shall be occupied by 100 %, fixed by 30 June 2029. Climate change is expected to increase both the dewatering needs of the coastal areas and water needs of existing and new user groups. The aim of the joint research project FORECOAST, funded by the BMFTR in the WENex Initiative (Water-Energie-Nexus), is to develop an adaptive, forecast-based water and energy management system for tide-influenced coastal regions in Germany. Within the framework of the Jade Hochschule subproject, future water requirements are to be assessed in close cooperation with regional actors, the limits of the flexibilisation of the drainage system of coastal areas are to be explored and the transferability of the developed system to other coastal regions is to be assessed. .
