Are you establishing your career as a researcher and looking for the best possible foundation for fulfilling your dreams and ambitions?

We invite you to join our section “Energy Technology and Computer Science”, where you will have about 20 colleagues with a mix of research and industrial experience. We work with research, innovation, technology implementation, and education development. Our section is diverse in culture, nationalities, and career paths from industry and academia. We enjoy collegial idea generation, feedback, and cooperation in an informal, safe, and fun working environment. We value our diversity in daily work. Our research focuses on implementation of technologies with key applications within software development, healthcare technologies, AI and optimization, energy systems, and secure communication.
