Research Fellow (Electrical Engineering) Full-time

Research Fellow Position

Established in 2010, the Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N) is a pan-university research institute that focuses on systems-level research for tropical megacities. It performs translational research that covers the energy value chain from generation to innovative end-use solutions, motivated by industrialization and deployment. ERI@N has multiple Interdisciplinary Research Programmes which focus on translational Research, Development & Deployment which focus on specific area of the energy value chain, and a number of Living labs and Testbeds which facilitate large scale technology deployment enabling validation and demonstration of real-world applications.

We are looking for a Research Fellow to work on a project in the area of cyber-physical security analysis of modern power grids. The role will focus on cyber-physical modeling, simulation, and security assessment method development.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop a high-fidelity Digital twin platform for modern power grid systems with coupled cyber-physical interaction layers.
• Simulate and access various cyber-attack vectors (e.g., data injection, remote control hijacking, protocol spoofing) to support power grid cyber-physical security assessment
• Provide an interface for external solution providers to test cybersecurity products virtually.
• Integrate with a Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platform for co-simulation tests on individual components in the power system.

Job Requirements:

• PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or related subjects.
• Expert knowledge in power system modeling and simulation
• Research experience with power system cyber-physical modeling and simulation.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English – essential for data analysis and communication with stakeholders
• Strong analytical and conceptual abilities.
• Relevant industry working experience is highly preferred.
• Able to work independently and in a team to realize proposed research work.

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
