Seeking for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows for developing power-flow algorithms

I would like to bring your attention to graduate students and postdoctoral positions available in the School of Electrical Engineering at Inha University in Incheon, South Korea. The position focuses on implementing three-phase power-flow calculation algorithms and short-circuit analysis algorithms in MATLAB (scripts).

An ideal candidate is a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow who has a good understanding and experience of the following:

(a) power-flow algorithms such as Newton-Raphson, decoupled, Gauss-Seidel, and backward and forward sweep methods

(b) fault analysis or short-circuit algorithms using the sequence network method

Developing the algorithms in MATLAB and publishing highly qualified journal papers are also the most important aspects of the position.

Salary is competitive and negotiable according to your skills, knowledge, and attitude to research.

The expected starting date is April or May 1st, 2018, but some flexibility is possible.

If you are interested in the position, please send your Resume or CV to insu@inha.ac.kr.

Any questions about the position can be directed to the same email address.

I would be most grateful if you forwarded this to potentially interested candidates.

Many thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Insu Kim

Subject: [us-power-faculty-l] NSF REU Site in Power and Energy Systems for Smart Cities calls for applications

Dear Colleagues:

We would greatly appreciate if you can help advertise to undergraduate students in your school or other schools for the following NSF funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program in Power and Energy Systems for Smart Cities. A flyer is also attached that can be printed and placed on a bulletin board.

About the REU Site:

Thanks to the support from the National Science Foundation, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at University of Denver (DU) will be offering up to 10 REU positions for Summer 2018.

The aim of this REU Site is to advance research training for talented undergraduate students in the area of Smart Cities with a focus on electricity infrastructure. The REU students will improve their research skills while working on cutting-edge research in the design of future electric power grids under the guidance of dedicated research mentors. Our cohort of REU students will be trained to excel as the next generation of engineers and leaders in the energy sector.

Our REU projects are defined based on the three pillars of a Smart City, i.e., enhanced livability, enhanced workability, and enhanced sustainability. The selected research topic areas include: Transportation Electrification, Power System Resiliency, Energy Economy, Community Microgrids, Data Analytics, Renewable Energy.

REU program dates: June 4th 2018 Monday – August 5th 2018 Sunday (9 weeks)

Benefits for REU students:

Travel costs to/from University of Denver campus will be covered.
Residence hall lodging will be fully paid.
Each REU student will receive a meal allowance of $500.
Each REU student will receive a $4500 stipend.

Application and Eligibility:

Application deadline: March 15, 2018.
Applicants should be full-time undergraduate students who have completed at least one year of undergraduate study
Undergraduate students from minority and underrepresented groups and predominantly undergraduate institutions are particularly encouraged to apply.
Applicants must be U.S. Citizens or permanent residents.
Applications are now being accepted for Summer 2018 at http://REU.DU.EDU.
