Work With NexSys

UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 2

Transport is a key challenge in the clean energy transition. There is a need to design business models and support
systems for flexible, clean, secure transport services. Improved decision support and better design options for green
transport will lead to reduced pollution and contribute to transport electrification targets. We aim to support a green
fleet on the street by optimising and integrating low emission and electric vehicle solutions for last mile logistics.

This project is part of the Transport stand and aims to demonstrate innovative optimisation algorithms and
technologies to achieve net Zero in the transport sector through a green fleet serving last mile operations. The
research will deliver and evaluate optimisation models. The successful candidate will analyse the integration of
electrified last mile operations with the grid and as a transport system service.

This is an advanced academic research role, building on your prior experience as a post-doctoral fellow, where you
will conduct a specified programme of research supported by research training under the supervision and direction
of a Principal Investigator.

The primary purpose of the role is to develop new or advanced research skills and competences, on the processes of
publication in peer-reviewed academic publications and scholarly dissemination, the development of funding
proposals, and the supervision and mentorship of graduate students along with the opportunity to develop your skills
in research led teaching.
