We are looking for a full time (5 days a week, 8 hours) Research Assistant for 24 months appointment to commence in January 2017.
Project: The research tasks explore innovative ideas investigating the impacts of photovoltaic (PV) systems selection and their impact on localised power generation for net-zero energy building movement. Modifications to the PV systems to enhance their power generation efficiency will be examined to satisfy the increasing demand and reduce maintenance of the systems under tropical context. This research will run in parallel with other two researches related to the Tropical Technology (T2) Lab and the energy efficient PV systems in tropical environment. Therefore, a regular collaboration among two or three RAs is also expected.
Domain: Solar energy, Photovoltaic, BIPV
The appointed RA will be involved in the following tasks:
- Assist and take care of all the tasks related to publications related to the domain.
- Participate in research and writing of articles
- Assist in development, design, and setup of the photovoltaic research facilities
- Analysis and collection of data, and graphical representation of information using suitable tools (such as Autocad, MATLAB, PVsyst, etc.)
Job Requirements:
- Master’s Degree in Architecture or Bachelor’s (preferably Master’s) Degree of Electrical and Electronic Engineering or other relevant engineering
- Knowledge in the photovoltaic systems and design
- Experience in research work and writing
- Skilled in graphic design and representation
- Capacity to work independently
- Management skills
