This is a re-advertised post - previous applicants need not re-apply.

A summary of the research hypothesis is, "how will future multi-vector energy networks, with electrical systems as a backbone, behave for a range of scenarios and timescales, and how can an integrated DT of these networks and their connected vectors/prosumers be used to proactively identify, quantify and understand challenges and enable the creation of associated potential solutions?".

Modelling and simulation (in power and energy systems, but expertise in other domains will also be considered again, experience in modelling multivector energy systems would be particularly welcome).
Data Science handling and processing large data sets (experience across multiple domains welcome).
Artificial Intelligence including predictive modelling, pattern analysis and recognition.
Software design, development and testing experience ideally in power and energy, but experience in other areas will also be considered.

More generally, as a Research Fellow, you will be a motivated, highly qualified individual, engaging enthusiastically in both personal and collaborative research, establishing a distinctive programme of research and disseminating results through regular publications in high impact journals, books and conference proceedings.

You will apply, as Principal Investigator and/or Co-Investigator, to appropriate external bodies for research funding and manage grants awarded.

You will manage a research team (students and staff), providing direction, support and guidance and you will participate in and develop external networks to foster research collaborations, to inform the development of research objectives and to identify potential sources of funding.

You will develop knowledge exchange activities by, for example, establishing research links with industry and influencing public policy and the professions and you will collaborate with colleagues to ensure that research advances inform departmental teaching effort, including contributing to relevant teaching programmes as appropriate.

You will carry out Department/School, Faculty and/or University administrative and management functions, for example through membership of committees and engage in continuous professional development.

To be considered for the role, you will have a PhD in a numerate discipline, or have significant relevant experience (such as a proven background in software engineering) in addition to a relevant degree.

You will have research interests consistent with the strategic direction of the Department/School.

This may include a body of published research in high quality publications demonstrating standards of excellence, a demonstrable ability to develop research proposals and to attract funding and research students, or a proven industrial track record of delivering novel products and solutions.

You will have an ability to plan and organise research programmes, to ensure successful completion and you will have experience of planning and organising workloads, including the ability to supervise and delegate work.

You will have an ability to work within a team environment and to lead teams and excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to listen, engage and persuade, and to present complex information in an accessible way to a range of audiences.
