Full-time
The Institute for the Protection of Terrestrial Infrastructures investigates how the supply of society can be secured by means of resilient infrastructures. To this end, it develops methods that, on the basis of digital twins of the infrastructures, should enable both situational protection and strategic adaptation to future threats. The department "Resilience - Models and Methods" works on the fundamentals in the fields of modeling and methodology development in order to make threat situations analyzable, resilience measurable and the systemic effect of (socio-)technical resilience concepts describable in models.
You investigate how the effect of (socio-)technical measures and processes can be quantified and described in models. For this purpose, you develop schemes, in order to be able to class known resilience increasing methods and concepts to effect patterns. On this basis you develop metrics for quantification and effect models, which enable the description, evaluation and implementation into performance-based resilience models. The concepts developed by you are supposed to serve as basis for a dynamic resilience management, which supports decision-making by determining situationally optimal measures for resilience preservation. You have the chance to present your research world-wide on international conferences and to publish in recognized journals.
The opportunity to earn your PhD is given within the framework of the temporary employment.
The position includes the following principal activities:
