About this position

The National Research Council Canada is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow in Ottawa for a two-year project on next-generation battery management systems for electrified transportation and energy storage.

The project will develop an NRC-built battery management system integrating a flexible cloud-connected architecture, fiber Bragg grating optical sensor arrays for real-time thermal mapping, and an active cell-balancing prototype that transfers energy between cells rather than dissipating it as heat. The fellow will develop hardware and software, embed FBG sensors into battery modules, support thermal management and fast charging, and benchmark active balancing against conventional passive methods.

Applicants must hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, or expect to complete one within six months of appointment. Relevant research experience in energy storage, power electronics, or embedded systems is required, along with programming and data-analysis experience using Python, MATLAB, or C/C++. Laboratory experience with battery systems, electronic hardware, PCB design, embedded firmware, IoT, or cloud-connected devices is advantageous.

The position is full-time and requires physical presence at the NRC work location in Ottawa, Canada. The salary is CAD 83,985–116,641, with benefits and a work-related travel fund. Applications require a resume, one-page statement of interest, PhD transcript, and publication list. The closing date is January 7, 2027.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, or expect to complete the PhD within six months of appointment. Candidates should have obtained the PhD within the past three years, with exceptions potentially available for personal or family-related leave. Required experience includes conducting research related to energy storage, power electronics, or embedded systems, and using programming and data-analysis software such as Python, MATLAB, or C/C++. Assets include experience designing, building, or testing electronic hardware or battery systems in a laboratory; battery-management functions such as state estimation, cell balancing, or thermal management; circuit design, simulation, or PCB development; embedded firmware for microcontrollers; and cloud connectivity, IoT systems, or connected devices. English is required, and the successful candidate must obtain Reliability Status security clearance involving five years of background verification. Application materials must include a resume, a one-page statement of interest, a PhD transcript, and a publication list; three recommendation letters may be requested later.

How to apply

Apply through the NRC recruitment portal using the direct job link. Attach a resume, one-page project statement of interest, PhD transcript, and publication list; include citizenship information and use requisition number 26200 for questions.
