About this position
The ACES Center at Lehigh University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a multidisciplinary project on the stability and cyber-physical security of hyperscale data centers in future inverter-dominated power grids.
The work sits at the intersection of modern electric power systems, power electronics, and cyber-physical infrastructure. The project examines how gigawatt-scale data centers interact with grids that contain high penetrations of inverter-based resources, creating coupled dynamics across multiple timescales and introducing new instability mechanisms. The successful researcher will contribute to foundational modeling, analysis, and control of data center–grid systems, with a focus on understanding stability boundaries and developing mitigation strategies under both normal operating and adversarial conditions.
This position is part of a collaboration across Electrical and Computer Engineering and Civil and Environmental Engineering at Lehigh University, working with Javad Khazaei, Shalinee Kishore, and Faegheh Moazeni. The role also offers interaction with the Siemens Research and Development team through existing partnerships, providing exposure to industrial-scale inverter technologies and opportunities to translate theoretical results into practice.
The postdoctoral researcher will join a research environment centered on dynamic modeling, stability analysis, control design, and cross-disciplinary work on energy infrastructure.
Funding details
Anticipated salary is $63,480 with competitive compensation commensurate with qualifications and experience, including benefits.
What's required
PhD in Electrical Engineering, Control, Applied Mathematics, or a related field, completed or near completion. Applicants should have a strong publication record in top-tier journals or conferences in power systems, control, or cyber-physical systems; expertise in at least one of power system dynamics, inverter-based resources, microgrid modeling, or nonlinear control; a solid foundation in dynamical systems, optimization, or control theory; proficiency in MATLAB, Python, or equivalent scientific computing tools; strong writing, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills; and the ability to work independently and collaboratively. Preferred qualifications include experience with inverter-dominated grids, grid-forming or grid-following control, cyber-physical systems, resilience or energy infrastructure security, data center systems, real-time simulation or HIL platforms, and interdisciplinary research publications.
How to apply
