About this position
This 2-year postdoctoral position at Aalborg University focuses on new approaches to converter synchronization and control for battery energy storage systems (BESS). The project is centered on whether naturally occurring acoustic and vibration signatures from converter operation can be exploited to support simpler, more robust, and scalable multi-converter coordination.
The postdoc will join the EMI/EMC in Power Electronics research group in the Applied Power Electronic Systems section at AAU Energy. The research environment brings together power electronics, sensing, signal processing, converter control, multi-physics analysis, and experimental validation, with applications in BESS and other converter-dominated energy systems. The position is embedded in the VILLUM Experiment project A-choir, and offers an interdisciplinary setting with opportunities for international scientific exchange, conference participation, and possible visits to academic or industrial partners.
The research work combines theoretical development with hands-on experimentation. The successful candidate will investigate synchronization and coordination concepts for power electronic converters, develop sensing and signal-processing methods for acoustic and vibration measurements, and examine how physical signatures relate to converter switching and operating behavior. Methods will be implemented and tested using real-time control platforms, hardware-in-the-loop, and experimental converter setups under representative BESS operating conditions, including multi-converter interactions and interference robustness.
The position also involves contributing to related research activities and disseminating results through publications, conferences, and project deliverables. Limited teaching and supervision may be included. The role is based at Aalborg University’s Aalborg campus within an international research department with advanced laboratory facilities and strong collaboration across academia and industry.

What's required
A PhD in Electrical Engineering, Energy Engineering, or a closely related field is required. Applicants should have documented experience in power electronics, power converter modelling and control, converter synchronization, signal processing, EMI/EMC, or related areas. Strong programming and experimental skills using DSP, MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, hardware-in-the-loop implementation or comparable tools are expected. Experience with synchronization and coordination control, digital signal processing, time-frequency analysis, data-driven modelling, or machine learning is an advantage. Good knowledge of battery storage systems or multi-converter systems is desirable, and experience with hierarchical control, hardware design, or AI-assisted signal methods would be beneficial. A strong scientific publication record appropriate to career stage and excellent written and spoken English are required. Candidates should be able to conduct independent research, collaborate across disciplines, and communicate effectively with academic and industrial partners.
How to apply
Apply through Aalborg University’s recruitment system via the job advertisement on the university website. Include an application letter, CV, master’s and PhD diplomas, teaching documentation if relevant, dissemination qualifications, additional relevant qualifications, and references/recommendations.
