The Electricity Research Centre (ERC) within the School of
Electrical, Electronic & Communication Engineering at UCD is
seeking to fill a permanent academic position as Professor of
Intelligent Energy Systems.
This is a senior academic appointment located at the interface
between ICT and the Electricity Grid, the so-called “Smart
Grid”. The person appointed will be located within the School
of Electrical, Electronic & Communications Engineering but will
be expected to take a leadership role within UCD’s Energy
Institute, building up and sustaining an internationally

Computer Science, Mathematical Sciences etc. Applications
are sought from candidates with substantive research
interests in these areas.
The ideal candidate will have a distinguished record of research achievement combining aspects of ICT (such as in
optimisation, measurement, control, data processing, telecommunications) with applications within the Grid (such
as phasor measurement units, advanced state estimation, markets, demand side management etc.) and will set
out a convincing vision of a future research strategy in this field.
The successful candidate will show evidence of a successful track record in securing research funding in relevant
areas, be committed to high quality undergraduate and graduate level education and training and will have an
