**The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST)** is a Research and Technology Organization (RTO) active in the fields of materials, environment and IT. By transforming scientific knowledge into technologies, smart data and tools, LIST empowers citizens in their choices, public authorities in their decisions and businesses in their strategies.

LuxHyVal is a five-year initiative funded by Horizon Europe aiming to accelerate decarbonisation of Luxembourg’s industrial sector via hydrogen. It covers the full green hydrogen value chain: production, storage, distribution, usage in industry and mobility, along with safety and certified operations. The project involves defining business models, regulation, and commercial frameworks, and ensures public acceptance and upskilling. Results and lessons will be replicated in two “Follower Valleys” (in Czechia and Ukraine), to enable broader hydrogen valleys across Europe.

**Description**:
**Temporary contract | 24 months | Belval Are you passionate about research? So are we Come and join us**

**How will you contribute?**

As part of this postdoctoral position, you will design and implement a model-based approach and framework to build a preliminary Digital Twin of the hydrogen value chain. This Digital Twin will allow you to simulate different scenarios to validate the viability of the value chain (e.g., low green energy production, high transportation costs, etc.). The framework you develop will integrate models—both static and dynamic—that cover various technical domains as well as financial, organizational, and regulatory aspects.

Your research contribution at LIST will focus on developing an incremental, model-driven approach that enables you to design and qualify preliminary Digital Twins even when little or no information about the final system is available. You will integrate and coordinate multiple concerns, including technical, economic, and organizational aspects.

Your work will lead to a first proof-of-concept implementation. The method you develop will ensure that your model-based prototype is executable from day one and remains consistent as it evolves. You will support project partners in clarifying their needs, formalizing their expertise into models, and testing their hypotheses about the value chain. Ultimately, your approach will provide crucial decision-making support to assess the feasibility and transferability of a Hydrogen Valley.

You will contribute by providing advanced model management support through an adapted modelling framework and by developing concrete Digital Twin prototypes grounded in domain analysis and data provided by project stakeholders. You will research novel model engineering methods that consider the full lifecycle of the Digital Twin, addressing both its incremental development and the evolving value chain it represents. You will pay particular attention to decision-support functionalities, which you will help make accessible to relevant actors through dedicated graphical interfaces—such as dashboards, visual analytics, what-if scenarios, and simulation tools.

By joining the team, you will become part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary group, acting as the reference expert on model engineering and model management to enable decision-making and simulation in the Digital Twin of the Hydrogen value chain.

**Main Responsibilities**:

- Select and adapt a modelling framework to represent the different concerns of the Hydrogen value chain, including the execution of models for simulation purposes.
- Develop a model manag
