Overview
Closing Date: Wednesday 08 October 2025
Reference: ENG230525
An opportunity has arisen for a Research Associate/Fellow to join our new EPSRC-funded £7m programme - Sustainable Multi Sector Electrification Using Advanced Integrated Motor Drive Technologies. Working in collaboration with teams from the universities of Newcastle and Bristol, our goal is to undertake radical innovation based on highly integrated electric motor drive technologies to reduce energy wastage and material used in manufacture while dramatically improving power to weight and power to volume ratios together with increased service life.
Role: We are looking for a highly motivated Research Fellow to drive forward and support the research work at Nottingham. You will lead and deliver individual and collaborative research in the area of integrated electric motor drive technologies and make a key contribution to the direction of research programmes in the Power Electronics, Machines and Control (PEMC) Research Institute in the Faculty of Engineering. You will pursue a research plan in developing innovative modular power converter topologies and control for integrated motor drives, developing new concepts and ideas. Where appropriate, we will support you to create and submit innovative research development proposals and funding bids.
Responsibilities / Activities
* The successful candidate will have significant prior experience of power semiconductor switching converters and related measurement tools (e.g., oscilloscopes).
* Programming MicroSemi FPGAs in the Libero environment.
* Low level programming of embedded C++ in Infineon Tricore based microcontrollers.
* Experience with power converter topologies.
They will also possess a consistent track record of published research in refereed publications.
Qualifications / Skills
* A dynamic self-starter, exceptionally well-organised with a positive attitude.
* Experience working with academics, researchers and PhD students to manage and conduct research activities across a programme.
* Ability to work collaboratively with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders on challenging multidisciplinary issues.
* Prior direct experience of successful PhD student co-supervision/mentoring is desirable.
