Detail information about job Research Fellow in Wind Turbine/Farm Control (80765-087). Terms and conditions vacancy

Fixed term position 32 months (to 2 July 2020).

You will undertake research on the EPSRC funded project “Farming the Environment into the Grid: Big data in Offshore Wind (FENGBO-WIND)” jointly with Imperial College London to assist the Principal Investigator and project partners in the successful execution of the project. FENGBO-WIND is one of the 5 successful projects in the recent UK (EPSRC) – China (NSFC) call on Offshore Renewable Energy. The China collaborators of the FENGBO-WIND project are Zhejiang University, Tsinghua University and State Grid China. In addition, we have 11 other project partners in the UK, China and US, such as DNV GL, FTI Consulting, Envision Energy, and State Oceanic Administration etc. The FENGBO-WIND team is an interdisciplinary consortium of experts, including earth/environmental scientists, civil, electrical and control engineers, and fluid dynamicists. The FENGBO-WIND project aims to leverage the newest developments in high-performance computing,  physics-based modelling and data science, to create a new generation of predicting capabilities that support the design and operation of more economical offshore wind farms, while assessing and seeking to minimise their environmental impact. The main task of the University of Warwick is to work on the control systems of both the individual wind turbine and the wind farm models. 

You will undertake independent and collaborative research and will be expected to write up your research for publication. You will be expected to deal with any management/administration problems that may arise from the project and produce and present regular project reports ensuring that the project objectives and deadlines are met.

You will have a developing research profile with the ability to publish high quality research output and will be able to contribute to the development of funding proposals. You will have excellent IT skills including demonstrable ability to use IT to write technical research papers and presentations. You are also required to be an excellent communicator with strong communication and interpersonal skills. You should have experience in at least one of the following areas: controller design, optimisation, wind turbine/farm, power grid, or data science. You should have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to work well within a team.

If you have not yet been awarded your PhD but are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant on level 5 of the University grade structure. Upon successful award of your PhD and evidence of this fact, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of the level 6 of the University grade structure.

The University aims to promote work life balance for all employees and the School of Engineering will consider a range of possible flexible working arrangements in order to recruit the best candidate.

For informal discussion, please contact Dr. Xiaowei Zhao at [email protected].

Closing Date: 10th September 2017
