Field PV Systems Research Fellow: Temperature & I-V Analytics

Cyber Security Academy Southampton; Southampton; Sur place; GBP 38 000 - 52 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

The University of Southampton is seeking a Research Fellow to study temperature-dependent performance of photovoltaic modules in the field, leveraging an outdoor PV testing facility.

The successful candidate will lead a 24-month fixed-term project within the TACOS-PV program, collaborating with Oxford and NPL, and will perform high-precision spectral irradiance and temperature measurements with a strong publication track record expected.

Qualifications

• PhD or equivalent qualifications in Electronics and Electrical Engineering or Physics.
• Experience with spectroradiometry and instrumentation for irradiance and electrical power measurements.
• Strong experimental and data analysis skills.

Responsabilités

• Lead a year-long outdoor measurement campaign across multiple PV technologies.
• Develop high-precision in-situ module temperature measurement.
• Develop high time-resolution I-V tracing to extract temperature coefficients in the field.
