14 PhD Positions in Advanced Control of Smart Grids, Marie Sklodowska-Curie ITN project INCITE, Europe (2016)

We are looking for highly motivated young researchers to join an interdisciplinary and cross-sectorial space bringing together experts on control and power systems, from academia and industry with the aim of providing innovative control solutions for the future electrical networks.

The network supports the recruitment of fourteen Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) during 36 months. Each ESR will be working on an Individual Research Project (IRP) in the host institution and will have secondments related to their research in other academic and industrial partners of the network. All ESRs will be enrolled in a PhD programme and the development of the IRPs will be part of their thesis. Tuition fees will be covered by the fellowship.

The network will also support training activities and periodical events, which will allow the ERSs to develop their career in a multi-sectorial environment and to obtain a wide knowledge on the control of electrical networks.

In Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, ESRs are paid a competitive salary (adjusted for the host country), including a Mobility Allowance and a Family Allowance (subject to family situation).

To be eligible as an ESR:
- The candidate must not have resided or carried out his/her main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the host country for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to his/her recruitment under the project (short stays such as holidays are not counted).

- The candidate may be of any nationality.
