Closing date for applications: 17 September 2019.
Salary (Grade R1): £31,681 - £41,775 per annum incl. London Allowance
Full-Time, Fixed-Term until 31 March 2021
Vacancy Ref: 13113
The Institute of Energy Futures has been awarded a grant by InnovateUK
as the academic partner in a consortium to build a demonstrator of the
UK’s first electric vehicle charging forecourt. We will be modelling the
impact of the fast charging of electric vehicles on the onsite
grid-connected battery. This post is an exciting opportunity for an
individual to work with our existing research team and to work with our
industrial partners.
The appointee will be expected to create an empirical engineering model
of the large onsite battery to emulate the power and energy
characteristics. The model will be used to assess the impact of customer
(EV driver) use patterns on the long-term condition of the battery. The
academic project team will use knowledge of battery technologies, travel
data, statistical methods, and power systems analysis. The appointee
will be expected to contribute to one more of these topics, but is not
expected to possess expertise in all areas. For an appointee with
background in power systems some tasks can be assigned to assist in
systems optimisation.
The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate some essential
characteristics: experience of programming using Matlab or similar,
knowledge of research methods and statistical procedures, the ability to
acquire and interpret research data and results, the ability to conduct
detailed literature reviews, and a willingness to learn concepts outside
their current knowledge base. The appointee is likely to have a
background in engineering (e.g. electrical, mechanical, chemical,
automotive, energy) or other physical science (e.g. physics, chemistry).
