•    PhD in Engineering, preferably in the field of Electrical Engineering.
•    Advanced level of English and Spanish.

Will be valued:
•    Previous experience in the use and configuration of computer-based deci-sion-making support tools in the electricity sector.
•    Knowledge of modelling and optimization of electrical systems and energy vectors.
•    Previous experience in modelling hydrogen integration into the electricity sector.
•    Proficiency in and extensive experience of algebraic programming lan-guages and optimization tools.
•    Experience of collaborating with companies in the electricity sector.

What do we offer?

  • Full-time, one-year contract renewable on performance. The gross salary for the first year is €38.678,45 (2026).
