About this position

University of Massachusetts Lowell is hiring a postdoc in smart grid cybersecurity, cyber-physical systems, distributed systems, and real-time / hardware-in-the-loop simulation for the SUMMIT project, an NSF Major Research Instrumentation award spanning UMass Lowell, NYU, and West Virginia University.

The role is centered on leading day-to-day development of a federated platform that connects the three sites and enables researchers to run experiments on instruments across campuses as a standing service. The work involves a smart grid cybersecurity testbed with real-time simulation and attack scenarios such as spoofed GOOSE messages, injected sampled values, and manipulated SCADA traffic.

You would work with a new RTDS NovaCor 2.0 real-time simulator, existing OPAL-RT equipment, SEL-451 relays, SEL-3555 automation controllers, software-defined network switches, and GPS-disciplined timing. The project emphasizes building the federation layer, integrating the sites, and supporting experiments that mimic real grid behavior without affecting a live power grid.

Eligibility highlights include a PhD in ECE, computer engineering, computer science, power and energy systems, or a closely related area, plus depth in at least one relevant area such as smart grids, cybersecurity, SDN/networking, distributed systems, digital twins, or real-time/HIL simulation. Experience with RTDS or OPAL-RT is a strong plus, along with IEC 61850, IEEE C37.118, DNP3, IEEE 2030.5, GPS, or PTP timing.

The appointment is full time and benefited, starting for one year with renewal up to three years. Applications are reviewed immediately and will continue until the position is filled. To apply, submit a CV, cover letter, publication list, and research statement through the careers link.

Funding details

One-year appointment to start, renewable up to three years, full time and benefited.

What's required

PhD in ECE, computer engineering, computer science, power and energy systems, or a closely related field. Strong depth in at least one of smart grids, cyber-physical systems, SDN and networking, cybersecurity, distributed systems and digital twins, or real-time and hardware-in-the-loop simulation is required. Hands-on RTDS or OPAL-RT experience is a plus, as is experience with IEC 61850, IEEE C37.118, DNP3, IEEE 2030.5, GPS, or PTP timing. The post expects the ability to work independently, lead development, and contribute to publications and proposals.
