Research Fellow in Rail and Energy Cross-Sector Data Sharing and Digital Innovation (2 Posts)

Are you a researcher looking for your first challenge? Do you have a background in electric power systems, transport decarbonization, data science, or a closely related field? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities?

As a Research Fellow in Rail and Energy Cross-Sector Digital Innovation, you will join an exciting consortium to accelerate the journey to transport and energy cross-sector decarbonisation by exploring the cross-sector data sharing infrastructure and digital twinning. The project will explore the development of a cross-sectoral (grid-rail) microgrid digital twinning architecture featured with data interoperability, cyber-resilience, and regulatory alignment. The case study will involve the design of digital twinning for railway energy hubs, a novel microgrid technology to deliver creative, predictable, and cost-effective use of electric power on the transport while offering flexibility services to the power grid.

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
