Postdoctoral Research Fellows in Advanced Control Systems Area

A number of postdoctoral fellow positions are available in the Control, Instrumentation and Electrical Systems Laboratory at the University of Western Ontario in Canada.

The lab houses a number of state-of-the-arts industrial grade and dedicated research facilities in distributed control systems, power plant simulators, as well as a small scale microgrid with diverse physical energy sources (PV, wind, fuel cell, and synchronous generators), and controllable loads and energy storage devices (batteries, super-caps, controllable electronic loads, and wireless-enabled smart meters).

The successful candidates will be working with a group of dynamic researchers on the design, analysis, and implementation of control systems of industrial processes, such as nuclear power plants, and smart grids. The lab offers an inspiring and challenging environment for a self-motivated individual. An ideal candidate should have (or about to receive) a PhD degree in control system engineering with background in either electrical engineering or process control areas, who has a solid background in control theory/practice and has the desire to investigate how those advanced theories can be effectively applied to practical systems. Previous experience on multivariable control systems, power electronic converters/inverter controls, and power dynamics and control will be considered favourably.

The initial offer of these positions will be one year. However, the positions can be converted to a more permanent one with demonstrated performance. Interested applicants should send their curriculum vitae to:
