Research Fellow

2 weeks ago

University of Warwick, United Kingdom University of Warwick Full time

Fixed-term contract until 31 August 2024, 1.0 FTE.

We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow who will work on an EPSRC funded research project in developing novel grid-scale compressed air energy storage (CAES) technology and its integration with power systems. The project will invest how to integrate CAES with high-temperature thermal energy storage to achieve high energy conversion efficiency, high energy and power density, and operational flexibility. The post will primarily work on CAES system modelling and analysis, and its integration with power and energy systems; the post will work closely with another Research Fellow who has the expertise in thermal dynamics.

This full-time post is available from 1 April 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter. The Research Fellow will join the Power and Control Systems Research Laboratory at the University of Warwick.

If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure (£31,411). Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure (£32,348).

Interview date: TBC

**JOB PURPOSE**

The main purpose of the role is to undertake the research work funded by EPSRC in the area of compressed air energy storage and integration with power and energy systems. The project is in collaboration with the Universities of Birmingham, Liverpool and King’s College London. The project summary can be found from here.

You will work within the Power and Control Systems Research Laboratory at the School of Engineering to exploit innovation and research in the specified field, and will develop and enhance the Department’s reputation, both internally and external to the University.

You will publish research of international excellence and support the team’s activities. You will provide input into the development of research content for various programmes within the team’s remit, deliver specific teamwork and supervise research students to doctoral level.

**DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES**

**Specific Tasks**

1. To understand the whole EPSRC project and the roles of all the partners of the project

2. To conduct research specified in the EPSRC project by leading and supporting the EPSRC project work packages.

3. To help manage research projects, which include supervising and collaborating with research students, technical and other support staff engaged in the research project.

4. To draft work package and project reports to report the progress at the project review meetings

5. To develop a simplified whole system model for a high-temperature integrated compressed air energy storage suitable for energy system integration in working closely with the Research Fellow with the expertise of thermal dynamics

6. To explore the potential of the energy storage system integration with wind power generation and local energy systems.

7. To investigate the role/benefits of the integrated energy storage

9. To test hypotheses and analyse scientific data from a variety of sources, reviewing and refining working hypotheses as appropriate

10. Aid in the optimisation of compressed air energy storage design and operations

**Additional Tasks**

1. To manage own academic research and administrative activities. This involves small scale project management, to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines

2. To adapt existing and develop new scientific techniques and experimental protocols

3. To contribute ideas for new research projects

4. To develop ideas for generating research income, and present detailed research proposals to senior researchers

5. To collaborate in the preparation of scientific reports and journal articles and occasionally present papers and posters

6. To use specialist scientific equipment in a laboratory environment

7. To act as a source of information and advice to other members of the group on scientific protocols and experimental techniques

8. To represent the research project at external meetings/seminars, either with other members of the group or alone

9. To carry out collaborative projects with colleagues in partner institutions, and research groups

10. To ensure compliance with health and safety in all aspects of work.

11. To work within budget constraints.

12. The researcher may have the opportunity to undertake ad-hoc paid teaching (this includes lecturing, demonstrating, small-group teaching, tutoring of undergraduates and graduate students and supervision of masters projects in collaboration with principal investigators). Permission must be sought in advance for each opportunity and the total must not exceed 4 hours a week.

13. To participate in relevant professional activities.

14. To engage in continuous professional development.
