The department
The Department of Engineering is one of the finest UK engineering departments with a reputation for teaching, researching and hiring our students. The department considers research-based teaching ethics at all levels, and ranks 4th in the completed University Guideline 2022, Guardian 4 and The Times and 6th in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2021. UK for General Engineering. Ranked 4 * for research impact in the UK, where 90% of engineering results at REF 2014 are ranked 3 * or 4 *, this dynamic unit is a great place to work. The department’s strategic vision is to drive more than 50% growth plan, research challenges portfolio over the next five years, and to enrich our undergraduate, postgraduate and postgraduate research offerings. It’s a fun time to join this expanding section and make your mark.
The department has an Athens SWAN bronze award recognizing our commitment to diversity at STEM Academy and reflecting the supportive and positive environment within the department.
The role
Applications are invited for four Postgraduate Research Associates (PDRA) posts in Integrated Energy System Modeling. Applicants are required to apply this skill in general modeling and analysis of energy modeling skills and to explore the capabilities of integrated cooling, heating and energy systems.
Successful applicants are expected to work closely with academic partners and industry partners to ensure that projects are presented successfully in the budget and achieve all goals. PDRAs work directly with senior and associate investigators in the Energy Systems team to contribute to EPSRC-funded research projects.
Responsibilities
- Transmitting and disseminating research papers in conferences and publications to a group or individuals in a presentation or discussion leading to a presentation.
- It may include audience sponsors, research sponsors, academic and non-academic audiences.
- Publish high quality results, including magazines and papers for review at meetings and workshops under the direction of the Inspector General or the Gift Owner.
- To help develop research objectives and ideas.
- To conduct individual and collaborative research projects under the direction of the Superintendent or Gift Owner.
- Work with the Chief Investigator or Grant-Owner and other staff in the research team, as needed, to identify research areas, develop new research methods, and extend the research portfolio.
- Discuss issues that may affect research goals and deadlines by consulting with the Chief Inspector or Grant-Owner and providing innovative or innovative solutions.
- Establish internal and external communication to connect with research partners and develop knowledge and understanding for future research collaborations.
- To plan and manage its own research activities, research resources contribute to the planning of research projects.
- To provide training for research techniques / approaches such as peers, visitors and students.
- Contribute to the support of student projects in the use of research modeling methods and techniques.
- Contribute to the development of a shared and respectful work environment where everyone is involved and treated and everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
- To participate in broader citizenship to support the department and broader discipline.
- Attend appropriate training and development courses to participate in ongoing professional development.
This post is limited to 2 years – financial support for the project is limited to two years.
The co-owner is employed on a foreign-funded research project led by another partner. This means that although the post-developer does not conduct independent research on its own, it is expected that they will contribute to the development of the project by developing their own research ideas / adaptations and research development. Protocols.
Successful applicants will be in the mail by October 1, 2021.
