dear colleagues,Work at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven) and Etch - Energy Transmission Competence Hub (www.etch.be) in the most fun teams, challenging the status quo. Within the university of Leuven and Etch, we have currently several positions (hashtag#Phd and hashtag#postdoc) in our research team focussing on future power systems, with a focus on hashtag#HVDC, underground power systems. Our team is led by Jef Beerten, Hakan Ergun and myself. Several of these positions have been announced before, and are grouped in this email. Do not hesitate to forward to interested colleagues and friends. We invite you to apply to the positions listed below. If you would apply to multiple positions, please refer to the other applications in your application letter. For the PhD positions, a masters degree (at the start date) is required, for the post-doc positions, a PhD in a relevant field. These positions are open until 13/9/2024 (next week).
