Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) now offers a new fellowship program, the CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor. The fellowship aims at external international scientists who are currently conducting research abroad. Applicants must have completed their PhD within the last seven years. The fellowship aims at authors (co-authors) of three or more publications in a journal with IF. Candidate must meet condition on the date of aplication: PhD. studies at a university outside the Czech Republic or have completed at least a 3-year working research stay abroad (outside the Czech Republic).

The topic focuses on the control of AC electric drives (IM or SynRM) focused on utilization of less known inverter topologies (e.g. Dual inverter, 4 bridge inverter) with modern semiconductor devices (GaN, SiC) The aim is to implement own designed algorithms in a signal processor and simulation environment. The proposed modulation and control strategy should pursue the objectives of increasing the efficiency or reliability of the traction drive by means of suitably modified control based e.g.:

• • on improved mathematical models compensating for parameter variation,
• • on increasing the drive dynamics and control accuracy, improving the efficiency,
• • on maximizing the use of the capabilities of modern signal processors or FPGA circuits in the control of electric drives,
• • on utilization of SiC or GaN semiconductors in power converter circuit.

Skills/Qualifications

The candidate should hold a Ph.D. in electrical or control engineering, or power electronics, obtained within the last 5 years. A very good knowledge of electric drives and power electronics. Proficiency in written and oral English. The candidate should have a proven track record of research excellence, with more than 3 papers published as the main author in SCIE journals (Q1/Q2 prefered).
