The Center for Advanced Power Systems at The Florida State University seeks to hire (3) full-time research faculty with an academic MS degree from an accredited institution or equivalent qualifications based on professional experience and otherwise qualified to perform assigned duties.
Position (1) is in the computer-related discipline. This position entails maintaining a state-of-the-art real-time simulation testbed for electrical power systems as well as significant research and development to continuously improve those facilities. The potential candidate should have interest in device-level software development and a good understanding of modern computer architectures. Proficiency in C++17 (or above), Python, and VHDL programming languages is highly desirable.
Position (2) is in in the electrical or computer engineering discipline. Background in system engineering preferred. Basic understanding of electric power systems and proficiency in at least one major computer programming language is required. Interest in practical work in the lab as well as experience in computer simulations of electric power systems and in industrial controls is desired.
Position (3) is in in the electrical technology discipline. Background in electrical or electronics engineering, or condensed matter physics, preferred. Basic understanding of dielectric phenomena, high voltage, diagnostics, signal processing, software for electric field simulation. Interest in practical laboratory and on-field testing work.
The Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS) is a multidisciplinary research center organized to perform basic and applied research to advance the field of power systems technology. The research focuses on electric power systems modeling and simulation, power electronics and machines, control systems, thermal management, cybersecurity for power systems, high temperature superconductor characterization and electrical insulation research.
