Job Description
Departments Department of Mechanical Engineering
Eindhoven University of Technology is an internationally top-ranking university in the Netherlands that combines scientific curiosity with a hands-on attitude. Our spirit of collaboration translates into an open culture and a top-five position in collaborating with advanced industries. Fundamental knowledge enables us to design solutions for the highly complex problems of today and tomorrow.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering department conducts world-class research aligned with the technological interests of the high-tech industry in the Netherlands with a focus on the Brainport region. Our goal is to produce engineers who are both scientifically educated and application-driven by providing a balanced education and research program that combines fundamental and application aspects. We equip our graduates with practical and theoretical expertise preparing them optimally for future challenges.
Short introduction
Are you passionate about mathematical control theory and its applications Are you eager to develop estimation and control algorithms for large-scale dynamical systems with the aim of making next-generation energy systems resilient Then you are the PostDoc we are looking for.
Job Description
We invite highly motivated postdoctoral researchers with a strong background in mathematical systems and control theory to apply for the postdoctoral position within the Dynamics and Control section at the Department of Mechanical Engineering Eindhoven University of Technology. The mission of the Dynamics and Control Section is to perform research and train next-generation students on the topic of understanding and predicting the dynamics of complex engineering systems in order to develop advanced control estimation planning learning and diagnostics strategies which are at the core of the intelligent autonomous systems of the future: Designing and realizing smart autonomous systems for industry and society.
You will be working on a research project in developing new approaches for the control of future energy systems with up to 100% integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). Future energy systems are large-scale dynamical systems which are vulnerable to critical events such as extreme weather congestion local voltage problems or (cyber) attacks. Your primary objective is to develop resource-aware control and state (and parameter) estimation algorithms capable of effectively managing corrupted measurement data communication constraints and modelling uncertainties.
You will be joining the team of Dr. Michelle Chong on the project titled ProRES: Proactive Resilience for Enhanced Energy System Flexibility and Stability. ProRES is a collaborative EU-wide initiative that brings together academic partners from the Austrian Institute of Technology (Austria) OFFIS EV (Germany) Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Germany) KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden) and National Sun-Yat-Sen University (Taiwan). Additionally the project involves distribution system operators and infrastructure service providers from Austria and Sweden.
Job Requirements
- A PhD degree in systems and control.
- Strong background in nonlinear and hybrid dynamical systems control and optimization.
- Experience with applications in the energy domain is preferred but not required.
- Knowledge of at least one programming language: Matlab Python is expected.
- Eager to work within a team and independently.
- Ability to collaborate with industry and academic researchers.
- Fluent in spoken and written English.
Conditions of Employment
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful green campus within walking distance of the central train addition we offer you:
- Full-time employment up to 3 years.
- Salary in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities scale 10 (min. 4241 max. 5538).
- A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
- High-quality training programs on general skills didactics and topics related to research and valorization.
- An excellent technical infrastructure on-campus childrens day care and sports facilities.
- Partially paid parental leave and an allowance for commuting working from home and internet costs.
- A TU/e Postdoc Association that helps you to build a stronger and broader academic and personal network and offers tailored support training and workshops.
- A Staff Immigration Team is available for international candidates as are a tax compensation scheme (the 30% facility) and a compensation for moving expenses.
