We are the University Center for Energy Efficient Buildings of the Czech Technical University, located in Buštěhrad near Kladno. We connect science with the commercial sphere and bring to the market new solutions that help our users to be one step ahead in technology. Our passion is buildings, cities, energy, environment, innovation and sustainability.
Due to the growing demand for our services, we are now looking to join the Photovoltaic Systems and Energy team, who will work with us on applied research within projects and contract research for the private sector. Our main work in this team is idea designs and simulations of systems and their control using photovoltaics, batteries or heat pumps, all with regard to the concept of decentralized energy.
What awaits you?
- Emphasis on research that reaches the stage of real-world application,
- the possibility to see the connections between the energy source and the entire system not only within the Czech Republic and to participate in the creation of their concept,
- involvement in solving projects for the development and application of new technologies and solutions in the field of photovoltaics and decentralized energy (accumulation, LDS, community energy, energy-plus districts),

- communicative knowledge of the English language for working on international projects and communication within an international team,
- the ability to present not only your results but also the results of the team to which you will belong,
- basic knowledge of IT (MS Office), an advantage is knowledge of one of the simulation programs for PV systems (PVSOL, PVSyst, Homer, RetScreen...),
- projection experience an advantage,
- the desire to innovate and work non-routinely.
And what can we offer you?
- Work in a modern building in a quiet environment near Prague (possibility of using shared transport),
