Dear Systems and Control community,
The Process and Power group in the Department of Energy and Process Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology has announced two new faculty openings in the areas of integrated energy systems, considering candidates interested in all professor ranks. The two positions are:
- Professor / Associate Professor in Integrated Renewable Energy Systems
- Professor / Associate Professor in Integrated Dynamic Thermal Cycles
In the Norwegian system, the Associate Professor rank overlaps with both Assistant Professor and Associate Professor ranks used in most North American universities.
The Integrated Renewable Energy Systems position has a research focus that includes “how to better integrate renewable power generation systems such as hydropower, wind, and low-carbon thermal power plants with the rest of the grid. We are particularly interested in including new methods for energy storage; surveillance, maintenance and specification of rotating machinery; operational optimization; and coordinated operation between various renewable energy technologies. The incorporation of digitalization technologies and methods into research, such as AI, is also desired.”
The Integrated Dynamic Thermal Cycles position has a research focus on “the energy transition through development of efficient integrated dynamic thermal energy cycles and systems. We are especially interested in research in thermal energy cycles ranging from ultra-low temperatures (e.g. cryogenics and refrigeration) to the edge of high temperature heat pumps. The research can also include the integration of these systems with other technologies in dynamic contexts, such as waste heat recovery, energy storage, and operations. In addition to R&D needs, the candidate is expected to help satisfy the national need to develop high quality engineers with a solid education in process engineering over the coming decades.”
We strongly encourage all interested candidates to apply, and for you to spread this position to your colleagues.
