Description

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated postdoctoral Research Associate to join the research group of Dr Teng Long in the University of Cambridge.

The post holder will conduct research in High Frequency Magnetic Components for Power Electronics.

Novel structure, materials, and coil design will be explored to achieve miniaturised, high frequency (MHz) and high power (kW) transformers for isolated power converters.

Research in high current (up to 1kA) and high inductance (¿H) SMD or integrated inductors will also be established.

Novel magnetic components and advanced power electronic topologies and semiconductors will be combined to deliver isolated and non-isolated DC-DC converters for 48 to 12 or 5V to achieve above 5kW/in3 power density, and below 3mm3/A specific volume for 5 to 1V converters.

The successful applicant must have in-depth knowledge in high frequency magnetic components and power electronic converters.

The stakeholder also needs to show advanced skills and extensive experience in FEA, high current density and high frequency coil and PCB design, impedance measurement and magnetic component prototyping, circuit modelling, and high frequency power converter prototyping and testing.

A strong publication record of outstanding research, excellent communication skills, experience of managing own workload are essential. Knowledge in material science and fabrication would be welcomed but not essential.

Appointment at Research Associate level is dependent on having a PhD.

Those who have submitted but not yet received their PhD will be appointed at Research Assistant level, which will be amended to Research Associate once the PhD has been awarded.


Salary Ranges:

Research Assistant:
£27,929 - £32,348

Research Associate:
£34,308 - £42,155

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 12 months in the first instance.

The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
