These changes require the application of more and more intelligence and the deployment of ICT-based solutions. Managing the grid requires new and advanced optimization techniques, faster and more robust computation, the processing of more data at faster speeds and the extraction of more useful information that is then used to control the grid. Ireland has unique characteristics that make it the ideal location for world-leading activity in sustainable electrical energy systems and ICT. Built on a foundation of academic achievement and a track record in delivering solutions to industry, the Electricity Research Centre (ERC) (www.ucd.ie/erc) based in University College Dublin (UCD), has developed an international reputation as a world leader in the area of electrical energy and grid integration of renewables. The centre is continuing to grow with recent funding successes from a range of sources adding an additional €7M (approx.) to its programme. Energy is one of the four strategic research themes in the University and we expect that the ERC and other associated programmes and centres will grow significantly in the coming years. In line with our recent growth and future ambitions, applications are now invited for a full-time, permanent academic position as Professor of Intelligent Energy Systems. This role will be critical to our continued development and we are seeking candidates with an international reputation in the interface between ICT and the Electricity Grid and demonstrated track record of success in large, interdisciplinary initiatives. The role is part of a recruitment initiative which includes a further two academic opportunities which UCD is seeking to appoint as part of the University's emerging Energy Institute. The other two roles are a Senior Lecturer in Chemical Engineering with a specific focus on the Gas Industry and Chemical Energy Management and in Consumer Behaviour and Technology Adoption in Energy.
Academic Opportunities UCD School of Electrical, Electronic & Communications Engineering Opportunities About UCD Energy Research Institute Energy The College Institute The School The ERC The Role Selection Criteria Apply About the University • University College Dublin, founded by John Henry Cardinal Newman in 1854, is Ireland’s largest university with almost 25,000 students. It is the most popular destination for Irish school-leavers and actively promotes university life as a journey of academic and personal discovery through its highly innovative and flexible UCD Horizons undergraduate curriculum. • UCD is Ireland’s leader in postgraduate education with almost 7,000 postgraduate students, representing approximately 28% of the UCD student population, and almost 2,000 PhD students. Over 50% of UCD undergraduates progress to postgraduate studies. • UCD is home to almost 5,000 international students and, in addition, places great emphasis on the internationalisation of the Irish student experience – preparing all UCD students for future employment and life that crosses borders, boundaries and cultures. • The role of UCD within Irish higher education is underscored by the fact that UCD alone accounts for over 30% of international students, over 25% of all postgraduate students and almost 28% of all doctoral enrolments across the seven Irish universities.
