Postdoctoral research position in Battery Modeling and State Estimation with Emphasis on State-of-Health and Prediction of Remaining Lifetime

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. 

The Battery & Energy Storage Systems research group at CTU in Prague is seeking a candidate for the development of innovative algorithms in the field of battery management systems, specifically for lithium-ion and upcoming sodium-ion batteries. The successful candidate will be an integral part of our collaborative team, contributing to various related projects.

The primary responsibilities will revolve around modeling and state estimation of batteries, with a particular focus on state-of-health and predicting remaining lifetime. This entails utilizing newly proposed and improved electrical circuit models and electrochemical approaches for battery modeling. State estimation will employ control engineering methods, such as Kalman filters, and may alternatively explore cutting-edge machine learning techniques. The development of models and estimation techniques will be based on battery testing data generated in our state-of-the-art battery lab.
