NOTES:
Smart Grid Systems
Lehigh University invites applications for one tenure-track assistant or associate professor position from
candidates whose research focuses on smart grid systems.The successful candidate must have a proven research interest in applications related to smart grids, including, but not limited to, topics such as: power systems and electronics, dynamic control of power and information networks, visualization of electricity networks, survivable networks, real-time systems design, real-time scheduling and resource management, electricity pricing, market models, combinatorial auctions, real-time computational systems, sensor networks, communications, estimation, cyber-physical security systems, and data analytics.
The candidates' research may draw on methodological areas including, but not limited to: real-time operating,
embedded, decision, and dynamical systems; power systems analysis; statistical modeling; algorithmic
decision theory; optimization; simulation; scientific computation; nonlinear networks; game-theoretical
models; signal processing and communications; systems design theory; robust optimization; dynamic control
of large-scale interconnected systems; high-performance computing; high-precision numerical computing; and
large scale data processing.
The successful candidate will be part of a university research cluster consisting of a multi-disciplinary team of
engineering, computer science, economics, and mathematics faculty. The cluster has a specific focus on smart
grids that is part of a broader research agenda on “Integrated Networks for Electrical, Information, and
Financial Flows.” More information about the research cluster is available at http://www.lehigh.edu/grid. The
successful candidate will be appointed to a position within an appropriate department—for example, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics. Applicants must possess (1) an earned doctorate, outstanding academic credentials, and a demonstrated record of success, (2) strong record and willingness to engage in collaborative interdisciplinary research, and (3) the ability and commitment to teach courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The position will require developing externally funded research programs, supervising M.S. and Ph.D. students, and contributing to the smart grid cluster through innovative research and teaching.
