About this position

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.

To apply, email the PI with the required documents in PDF format before 2026-08-15.
