About this position

PhD opportunity in Future Energy Systems and Energy Storage at Imperial College London

This post advertises a PhD opportunity linked to a salaried Research Assistant role at Imperial College London. The research focus is on future energy systems, especially the role of energy storage in delivering an affordable, reliable, and clean energy system. The position is part of the RESTORATIVE MSCA Doctoral Network, which also includes cohort training and networking.

The successful candidate will work with Professor Adam Hawkes at Imperial, spend time with Tobias Schmidt and the team at ETH Zurich, and also have an industry placement at Siemens. The post is therefore well suited to applicants interested in energy systems modelling, decarbonisation, electricity systems, and the integration of storage into low-carbon energy transitions.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must be ready to start a PhD immediately upon joining; candidates cannot already hold a PhD; and they must not have been based in the UK recently, consistent with MSCA Doctoral Network mobility rules.

Funding: the role is described as a Research Assistant position with a salary while studying for the PhD. No stipend amount, tuition coverage, or additional financial package is specified in the post.

How to apply: review the Imperial College London job advert and the linked announcement for full details. Submit an online application through the Imperial jobs portal. Apply early, as the advert may close before the stated deadline if there are many applications.
