About this position

The University of Technology Sydney is seeking two Discovery Postdoctoral Research Fellows to join UTS TechLab and contribute to the Australian Research Council Discovery Project “Powering the future: next generation power converters for electric vehicles.” The project is an international collaboration involving UTS, the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge.

Working under the supervision of Associate Professor Yam Siwakoti, the fellows will undertake advanced research in power electronics for next-generation electric-vehicle power systems. The work focuses on high-power-density converter design, system modelling, control development and experimental validation.

The research will involve advanced converter topologies, wide-bandgap semiconductor technologies such as GaN and SiC, high-fidelity simulation and optimisation, hardware prototyping, high-frequency magnetics, electromagnetic-interference mitigation, thermal management, and embedded-system interfaces or communication protocols. Fellows will help produce high-quality publications and translate research into experimentally validated, industry-relevant technologies.

The role also includes collaboration with multidisciplinary and international research teams, mentoring research students, and opportunities for international research visits. UTS TechLab provides access to state-of-the-art facilities and collaboration with leading academic and industry partners.

Funding details

Full-time fixed-term employment for 24 months with a base salary of AUD 95,565–116,393 per year at Level A, plus 17% superannuation (pension). UTS employee benefits include flexible work practices, generous parental leave and salary-packaging opportunities.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in Power Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline, with demonstrated research excellence, a strong publication record, and evidence of high-quality doctoral research in a rigorous research environment. Essential expertise includes advanced power electronics; high-power-density converter design; GaN/SiC wide-bandgap semiconductor technologies; advanced converter topologies and control strategies; high-fidelity modelling, simulation, optimisation, hardware prototyping and experimental validation; high-frequency magnetics; EMI mitigation; thermal management; embedded-system interfaces or communication protocols; and experimentally validated, industry-relevant research outcomes. Applicants should have experience collaborating in multidisciplinary and international teams, mentoring research students, and demonstrate communication, project-management and problem-solving skills. Industrial power-electronics R&D experience and practical expertise in PCB design, component selection, hardware integration, thermal and EMI/EMC compliance testing, reliability assessment, manufacturability and scalability are highly desirable.

How to apply

Submit an application through the UTS online recruitment system; current UTS staff should apply through NEO. Include a cover letter addressing the selection criteria and motivation for applying, plus a resume. Include reference number IRC349221 and your name on all submitted documents.
