About this position
The University of New South Wales is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in Power Electronics and Real-Time Simulation for the ARENA-funded PROFILES project within the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications.
The researcher will act as a Hardware-in-the-Loop and Real-Time Simulation Specialist. The project involves developing and operating real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop environments, preparing and commissioning experimental setups, and integrating original equipment manufacturer controllers, power-electronic equipment and protection relays.
The work will address technical challenges involving synchronisation, signal fidelity, system stability and interoperability. The researcher will coordinate multi-OEM testing and demonstrations and contribute to research on power-electronic converters, converter control, renewable energy generation, energy storage systems and their interaction with electrical networks. Relevant activities include electromagnetic transient modelling, controller hardware-in-the-loop testing and real-time power-system simulation using platforms such as PSCAD, RTDS, OPAL-RT, Typhoon HIL and PLECS.
The position reports to Associate Professor Georgios Konstantinou and is jointly supervised by Dr Felipe Arrano Vargas. The successful researcher will work independently and collaboratively, contribute to scholarly publications and other research activities, engage with research partners and stakeholders, participate in conferences and workshops, and assist with supervision of research students where required.
The role is based in the University of New South Wales School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications in Kensington, Sydney. The School provides a research environment spanning electrical engineering, telecommunications, robotics and emerging technologies, supported by industry engagement, collaborative networks and advanced facilities.
The appointment is a full-time fixed-term postdoctoral research role associated with the PROFILES project.
Funding details
Full-time fixed-term employment until May 2030 at UNSW, with a salary of AUD $133,065 per annum plus 17% superannuation.
What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD in Power Electronics, Power Engineering, or a closely related discipline. They should demonstrate knowledge of power-electronic converters, converter control systems, renewable energy generation, energy storage systems and their interaction with electrical networks; expertise in real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing, including controller hardware-in-the-loop and integration of external controllers or protection relays; and experience with electromagnetic transient and real-time simulations using platforms such as PSCAD, RTDS, OPAL-RT, Typhoon HIL, PLECS or equivalent. Applicants should have a strong research track record, communication, networking, teamwork, collaboration, interpersonal and organisational skills, and an understanding of UNSW's aims, values, policies, health and safety responsibilities. Desirable experience includes grid-forming and grid-following converter control, protection systems, plant-level control, industrial communication protocols, and collaboration with equipment manufacturers, network service providers, system operators or electricity-sector stakeholders.
