Glasgow, United Kingdom University of Strathclyde Full time

**Salary range**:£34,308 - £50,300 per annum*
**FTE**:1.0 (35 hours per week)
**Term**:Fixed (19 months)

**Closing date**:Wednesday, 8 March 2023

This is an exciting job opportunity in photonic sensing for smart grid monitoring, control and protection. You will work as part of the Advanced Sensors Team in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Strathclyde - a leading international technological university, recognised for its world-class research, knowledge exchange and educational programmes.

Currently, we are looking to recruit a Research Fellow to work on a new collaborative project funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) through the Energy Entrepreneurs Fund (EEF) scheme. The project will be carried out in collaboration with two industrial partners: Synaptec Ltd. and AFL.

The EEF project will develop a game-changing fibre-enabled distributed strain and temperature sensor that will facilitate discrete mechanical measurements along the power line to offer cost-effective implementation of a holistic wide-area power system monitoring solution. The combined electrical and mechanical data will enable the power system operator to manage the network efficiently, rapidly reacting to unpredictable system behaviours caused by intermittent generation, irregular electricity consumption patterns, or new weather extremes.

To be considered for the role, you will be educated to a minimum of PhD level in electronic and electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, physical sciences, or a related area, or have significant equivalent experience. You must have a strong background and expertise in the following areas: fibre-optic sensors - including design, prototyping and deployment in industrial settings; proficiency in CAD, mechanical design, materials science, fatigue and fracture mechanics; FEM analysis - electrical, electromagnetic, stress-strain and thermal modelling; high voltage engineering, insulation coordination, partial discharge testing; good practical knowledge of LabVIEW, C++, Matlab for sensor system simulation, testing and data analysis. You will have research interests consistent with the strategic direction of the Department/School, a body of published research in high quality publications, demonstrating standards of excellence, and an ability to develop research proposals and to attract funding and research students, as appropriate to the discipline. You will have an ability to plan and organise research programmes, including the ability to supervise and delegate work. You will have some experience of teaching at undergraduate/postgraduate levels, an ability to work within a team and to lead teams and have excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
