About this position
ESME is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in electrical engineering for a 6-month full-time fixed-term contract in Ivry-sur-Seine, France. The project focuses on rural electrification and solar energy systems for villages and schools in Madagascar, with an emphasis on designing robust, socially adapted photovoltaic solutions.
The research aims to improve existing village PV installations that were damaged through misuse or lack of user awareness, and to develop a new optimized energy system at three levels: rural lighting, school electrification, and a shared community energy system. The work includes assessing existing systems and recycled PV panels, analyzing user and installation data, identifying failure causes, designing and modeling an improved system, and simulating performance under local irradiation and consumption conditions.
Relevant academic keywords include electrical engineering, photovoltaics, renewable energy integration, energy storage, power electronics, energy modeling, and rural energy access. The post also includes scientific dissemination and the preparation of educational materials, good-practice guides, and maintenance recommendations for local users.
Eligibility highlights: a PhD in electrical engineering, automation, power electronics, or a related discipline; strong skills in PVsyst, MATLAB/Simulink, and SimPowerSystems; and good written and spoken English. The salary is listed as 3200 EUR per month.
Applications are submitted via the online careers form on the posting page.
