Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Research Assistant/Associate/Senior RA to contribute to our efforts in designing active power distribution systems. The role involves developing an analytic workflow to design active electrical power distribution systems that integrate network operator-owned active PEDs. This workflow will automate selection from several PEDs for a given low voltage distribution network, then determine the optimal siting and sizing of those devices to maximize societal benefits.

The successful candidate will be part of Newcastle's Power Systems research group and supported by the Research Software Engineering team. You will work collaboratively with colleagues to develop an open-source tool that will achieve wide industry visibility and be formally evaluated by other UK network operators as part of the D-Suite project.

Your core responsibilities will also involve contributing to the broader research activities on power electronics-based power systems within the Electrical Power group. You will have opportunities to collaborate with renowned organizations internationally, including GB's National Energy System Operator (NESO), Siemens, Northern Powergrid, and the Energy Systems Catapult.
