Postdocs for a new research project at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Aarhus University
Aarhus Universitet
The Section for Electrical Energy Technology under the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Aarhus University invites applicants for a two-year postdoctoral position, offering applicants an exciting opportunity to join a research project with a focus on the development of the next generation of energy storage systems, microgrid applications etc.The employment start date is 1 September 2024 or shortly after that.The research project You will be part of an European-funded project focusing on technology development for the next generation of power converter systems for PtX systems, electrochemical storage, micro and macro grid applications to the decarbonize the energy and transportation sectors.We design technologies that cover a wide range of applications, such as smart cities and residential self-consumption, backup power systems in isolated areas, energy management, and grid balancing in renewable power production.
We perform research in projects that aim to develop and integrate technologies and processes to create a new concept of an intelligent, modular, and scalable battery pack for a wide range of electric cars used in urban electromobility services, from mid-size electric vehicles to electric busesOther focus areas are the development of disruptive topologies for power converters using new semiconductor materials as well as cutting-edge digital technologies to improve architecture efficiency, power density, reliability, cost, and sustainability.Similarly, we work on microgrid applications to help developing countries meet their climate neutrality goals by combining photovoltaic systems with biomass combined heat and power technologies coupled with electrical energy storage systems optimized for specific applications.We work in an international and multi-disciplinary setting in projects that integrate the expertise of different European partners in electrochemistry, electrochemical energy storage, electronics, process engineering, smart sensors, IoT, and solar power industries, aiming to decarbonize the energy and transportation sectors.For more information, visit:Your qualifications For this project, we are looking for a highly qualified person with an electrical engineering background with a focus on power electronics for electrical energy storage systems, design of battery management systems or microgrid design, optimization, and implementation. The ideal candidate should be familiar with state-of-the-art standards and customized converter technologies for energy storage applications and have experience designing such systems, including component selection based on reliability, cost, simulations and testing. A background in the design of advanced battery management systems, controls and balance of plant is a plus.You should think out of the box, seek development opportunities, and love to be at the cutting edge of new technologies. Translating your knowledge and good craftsmanship into robust solutions is essential.The ideal candidate should hold a Ph.D. in electrical engineering (or equivalent), preferably with a specialization in the field of high power engineering or similar.Required qualifications:
Who we are The Section for Electrical Energy Technology focuses on energy system integration and energy transition towards a more efficient, circular, and reliable energy system in the future. This includes coordinated planning and operation across multiple energy systems and renewable energy production, infrastructure, and consumption.The section is undergoing rapid expansion concerning educational and research activities, including seven large projects. In recent years, it has become the most important place of study in Denmark for the electrical power engineering area at the Bachelor’s level.
The section has established the RESCUE laboratory – – which researchers, students and companies use alike. The main goal of the laboratory is for researchers to gain practical experience with future energy systems based on the full integration of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, biogas, and storage systems.
In addition, the group has expanded its activities to Aarhus University’s campus in Herning, where it has established the first “online” electrical energy technology degree programme, including a large energy technology laboratory.
