Applications are invited for above post in the Electrical Energy Management Group within the Faculty of Engineering. The Group's research explores the challenges of high efficiency electrical energy conversion systems for applications in aircraft, hybrid vehicles and renewable power generation. Much of this research involves theoretical analyses combined with concept demonstration and test.
To support its research the group has established a range of hardware-in–the-loop test facilities with ratings up to 1MVA. We are seeking to appoint Research Fellow to manage the larger of these facilities. The primary activities of the role will be:
- To manage the operation of the large scale rotorcraft electric drive test facility. This includes operational resources, finances relating to the running and maintenance of the facility, and health and safety.
- To liaise with academic, researchers and technical staff to ensure support and successful operation of rotorcraft electric drive test facility.
- To arrange/run relevant training for researchers and support staff operating the facility to ensure safe working practices
- To manage the delivery of tests against an agreed timetable and report the principal findings of the tests internally and to external industry sponsors. This includes regularly updating of any test plans and reporting these at program management meetings.
You will join an interdisciplinary team of post-doctoral researchers and postgraduates investigating advanced electrical machine and power conversion concepts. You will be encouraged and supported to attend international conferences, and to publish research findings in high-impact journals.
This post is offered on a fixed term 40% FTE (2 days per week) initially for a fixed term period ending September 2015, with the potential of a further six month extension to the project.
Informal enquiries can be made to: Professor Phil Mellor (p.h.mellor@bristol.ac.uk)
