We are seeking a Senior Power Systems Researcher to work within the area of Data Analytics and Energy Modelling Data Integration. Energy Systems Integration is an approach to looking at the overall energy system and investigating ways in which different energy carriers such as electricity, gas, and other fuels interact with each other and with sectors such as transportation, manufacturing, and water processing.

An overarching goal is to identify ways in which interactions between different energy systems can be used to efficiently achieve policy goals such as emissions reductions.

The ESIPP programme focuses on Energy Systems Integration (ESI) which is a multidisciplinary area ranging from science, engineering and technology to policy, economics, regulation and human behaviour.

The ERA-NET EV-Chip project will assess the impact of electric vehicles charging points at the distribution level and the validation of a real-time predictive algorithm for the bi-directional charging and power management of charging stations.

To support UCDs role in these projects, we are seeking a senior researcher with expertise in the development of and application of energy systems modelling tools. It would also be desirable to have experience of optimisation and numerical techniques.

Other responsibilities will include working in a multidisciplinary team and with our project partners to deliver on the overarching scientific goals of the ESIPP and EV-CHIP projects.
