Postdocs in Grid-Interactive Power Electronics Systems - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

The division of Electrical Power and Energy Systems is now looking to hire two postdoc's in grid-interactive power electronics systems, for employment at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Power electronics has become a foundational technology for decarbonizing the global energy systems. The past years have witnessed massive integration of power electronic converters in electric power grids. Grid-interactive power electronic systems are commonly found in renewable-energy power generations, DC transmission systems, energy-efficient motor drives, electric-vehicle charging stations, power-to-x conversions, and other emerging grid infrastructure. This mega trend poses unprecedented challenges to the stability, security, and power quality of modern power and energy systems.

To tackle the challenges in the project the postdocs will work with in an interdisciplinary research group that focuses on dynamics analysis, control, and protection of power-electronic-based power systems.

What we offer

• A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future
• Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
• Works in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
• Help to relocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH
