Research Associate in Transport and Power Systems
2 months ago
This PDRA post is funded by the EPSRC New Investigator Award project ‘Aviation-to-Grid: Grid flexibility through multiscale modelling and integration of power systems with electrified air transport'. This is an exciting research project with strong collaboration that brings together the leading partners from academia and industry, including the power system operators, airport operators, transport policy as well as the two EPSRC academic communities in energy networks and transport electrification.
Applicants should have a PhD (or near completion) in power systems, transport, aerospace propulsion, electrical engineering or a closely related discipline - or have equivalent experience. The programme of work requires a range of skills and knowledge across the boundaries of power system engineering, air transport modelling, computer simulation and laboratory demonstration.
Specifically, this PDRA will develop models and tools for power system modelling and analysis, with strong motivation to extend their work in transport modelling and electrification technologies. For example, the PDRA will be expected to work on airport energy systems modelling, electric propulsion and energy management strategies, multiscale modelling and integration of transport-power systems, grid flexibility quantification and cost-benefit analysis, as well as the demonstration in a simulation platform with case studies.
We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
