Applications are invited for a full-time Research Associate/Fellow positions within the George Green Institute for Electromagnetic Research and Power Electronics Machines and Control research groups.

The successful candidate will support an active research project which aims to understand EMI issues in a HVDC substation. The role will initially involve developing models that are able to successfully predict EMI levels, and to validate these models against available data. The models will then be used to evaluate design improvements to mitigate/reduce issues found.

Candidates hold or be working towards a PhD in a relevant subject area and experience in research are highly welcome.

Candidates should also have the ability to work independently within a multidisciplinary research team and have excellent communication and presentation skills.

Technical skills and knowledge in the following areas are essential:

• Knowledge of EMC/EMI in high power/high voltage electrical systems

• Experience using Finite-Element software packages (for example Ansys or CST) for prediction of EMI

• Experience using typical circuit simulation software (for example SPICE, PLECS, PSIM) for electrical/electronic circuit simulation.

Ideally, the successfully candidate will also have some knowledge of high-power, high-voltage power electronic converter topologies, and/or practical EMI/EMC testing.

This post is available on a fixed term basis until 14th January 2026. Hours of work are full time (36.25 hours). Job share arrangements may be considered.

Requests for secondment from internal candidates may be considered on the basis that prior agreement has been sought from both your current line manager and the manager of your substantive post, if you are already undertaking a secondment role.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Paul Evans ( paul.evans@nottingham.ac.uk) or Steve Greedy (Steve.Greedy@nottingham.ac.uk) Please note that applications sent directly to this email address will not be accepted.
