PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Renewable Energy Systems in South Korea

This post-doctoral position sits within RESILIENT , a national competence centre for resilient energy systems co-financed by the Swedish Energy Agency and carried out in close collaboration with Scania . The project examines how manufacturing companies can use electricity more flexibly in response to renewable and variable power systems, helping to reduce costs, support the grid, and ease local constraints while maintaining productivity. The research is based at the Division of Industrial Engine...

This PhD project investigates whether quantum computing can improve decision-making for future energy systems under uncertainty. Based at the University of Southampton , the research will connect hybrid quantum–classical computing with large-scale stochastic optimisation for the net-zero energy transition. Energy-system planning requires long-term decisions about generation, storage, and infrastructure before future demand, weather, and renewable generation are known. The project will develop al...

This opening is for an Assistant Researcher / PhD Scientific Researcher linked to project 2024.16846.PEX , focused on analysis of synoptic conditions conducive to energy composites in the Portuguese electricity system under current and future climates . The work combines climate science and energy-system analysis, with emphasis on treatment, modelling, and interpretation of climatic and non-climatic data. The successful candidate will contribute to project activities that include preparing and p...

Mohammed VI Polytechnic University’s Green Tech Institute (GTI) in Benguerir, Morocco, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning and sustainable energy systems. The research will focus on advanced AI/ML algorithms for battery management systems used in electric mobility and micromobility applications. The researcher will develop and optimise models for state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) prediction, helping improve t...

PhD project on hydrogen and industrial decarbonization The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) invites applications for a three-year PhD Candidate position investigating the future role of hydrogen and hydrogen products in industrial decarbonization. The project is based at the Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management at NTNU's Trondheim campus. The research examines how alternative pathways toward a zero-emission industrial sector could reshape industrial p...

This postdoctoral fellowship is based at the Department of Engineering and Physics in the Faculty of Health, Science and Technology at Karlstad University . The appointment sits within the department’s electrical engineering research environment, where work is carried out alongside colleagues in physics, mechanical and materials engineering, and industrial engineering and management. The department is described as international and collaborative, with research often developed in close cooperatio...

This doctoral position is based in Theme Technology and Social Change at Linköping University, a research and teaching environment that brings together social-scientific, humanistic, and interdisciplinary perspectives on technology, science, medicine, and social change. The project examines how socio-technical systems change when biogas , previously mainly legitimized as an energy technology, is increasingly valued through multiple and potentially competing functions. The doctoral researcher wil...

This PhD project at the University of East Anglia focuses on the design optimisation of brushless doubly fed machines (BDFMs), an emerging electrical machine technology for offshore wind turbine generators. BDFMs can operate with fractional-sized power converters and eliminate rotor brushes and slip rings. Their simplified gearbox systems, compared with high-speed generators, may reduce capital and operational costs while improving reliability and reducing maintenance requirements. These charact...

Tshwane University of Technology in South Africa is advertising a fully funded PhD position in sustainable energy entrepreneurship. The thesis, titled “Sustainable Entrepreneurship for the Just Energy Transition,” will examine how new energy ventures emerge and scale in the context of South Africa’s transition toward a more just and sustainable energy system. The project is connected with the TUT ENERGISE Centre and the Centre for Energy and Electric Power , with collaboration from the Technical...
