Doctoral Position in Real-Time Simulation for Electrified Flexible Industry
Join Uppsala University as a PhD student to research real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing for sustainable electrical grids.
Best for:Best for master's graduates in electrical engineering or energy systems with strong simulation skills and an interest in power systems.
Overview
Uppsala University is offering a fully funded PhD position within the Department of Electrical Engineering, specifically at the Division of Electricity. The successful candidate will investigate real-time simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and data-driven methodologies as part of a larger industrial consortium. The research aims to optimize electricity use and enhance electric grid models to support sustainable energy transitions. The candidate will work closely with academic supervisors and industry stakeholders, balancing independent research with doctoral coursework and limited departmental teaching duties.
What you'll do
- Develop and evaluate electrical grid models for real-time simulation and digital twin applications
- Conduct hardware-in-the-loop tests for electric components and communication protocols
- Document experimental tests, methodologies, and findings
- Collaborate actively with other researchers and industrial consortium partners
- Participate in doctoral education courses and complete departmental teaching responsibilities up to 20% of working hours
