Postdoctoral Scholarship in Power Electronics for Future Air Mobility
FAPESP is advertising a
postdoctoral scholarship in Power Electronics
within the project
Engineering Research Center for the Future of Air Mobility (FLYMOV)
.
The position is hosted at the
Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Campinas State University (FEEC-Unicamp)
in
Campinas, Brazil
, under the supervision of
Prof. Jose Antenor Pomilio
.
The research topic is centered on
power electronics
for an electric aircraft environment, with emphasis on the operational compliance of power converters using
wide-bandgap (WBG) devices
. The work includes studying electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), the effects of dv/dt and di/dt on cables, motors and other components, transistor drivers, reliability, and related converter issues for propulsion motor drives and power-source interconnection.
This is a
funded postdoctoral opportunity
with a scholarship amount of
R$ 12,570.00
. There is
1 vacancy
, and the expected start date is
January 2027
.
Applicants should have a
PhD in Electrical/Electronic Engineering
obtained in 2020, with emphasis on power electronics. Desired experience includes converter topologies, control and modulation, modeling and control of power converters, simulation tools such as Cadence/Orcad, PSIM, Plecs, and Matlab/Simulink, as well as software and hardware development skills including C/C++, Python, microcontrollers, FPGAs, DSPs, PCB layout, EMC, and thermal management. English fluency and basic Portuguese communication skills are required; experience with multilevel motors and inverters is desirable.
