Postdoctoral Research Associate – Physics-Informed Learning and Optimisation of Windfarms Dynamics

Job description

Full time fixed term for 1 year Join one of the world’s largest robotics research institutes Base Salary $109,263 - $121,054 + 17% superannuation About the opportunity: We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Australian Centre for Robotics and the Net Zero Institute at the University of Sydney, Australia. The successful applicants will work at Sydney with Prof. Ian Manchester and Prof Gregor Verbic, in collaboration with Prof Ben Thornber (Queens University Belfast, UK) and Prof. Dr Harald Köstler (Friedrich Alexander University of Erlangen, Germany) on a project funded in part by the Australian Research Council. The successful applicant will work with this team to develop new approaches to optimisation and control of large-scale windfarms in low-carbon electric power systems, taking into account wake interactions between individual wind turbines. The project focus is on how to generate and utilize reduced-complexity predictive models for windfarm control, from combinations of computational fluid dynamics and experimental data. You will join the Australian Centre for Robotics (ACFR), at the University of Sydney. The ACFR is one of the largest robotics research...
