Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has a vacant PhD research fellowship position belonging to
CINELDI. The position affiliated with the
Department of Information Security and Communication Technology (IIK) at
Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (IE).
Information about CINELDICentre for intelligent electricity distribution (
CINELDI) is a cross-disciplinary research Centre for Environment-friendly Energy Research (FME) hosted by
SINTEF with
NTNUas a research partner. CINELDI will contribute to designing the future's flexible and robust electrical distribution grid at an acceptable cost.
Information about the Department of Information Security and Communication TechnologyThe department has 22 tenured professors, 20 adjunct professors, 2 assistant professors, and about 30 PhD students and Postdocs. Research activities are organized in seven cross-disciplinary labs covering the academic areas of Internet of Things (IoT), Applied Cryptology, Intelligent Transport Systems, Quantifiable Performance and Dependability of Communication Systems, Biometry, Digital Forensics, and Information Security. The department provides teaching in BSc in IT Operations and Information Security, MSc programs in Communication technology, Telematics, and Information Security, and PhD programs in Telematics and Information Security.
Work descriptionThe protection schemes of micro grids, considering bi-directional power flow, conditional islanding, and complex fault situations, require a low-latency, secure and robust communication system. The protection schemes and the corresponding communication services must jointly adapt to the available infrastructure. This will necessitate added functionality to preserve quality and integrity of configuration, management, control and measurements. The objective of this PhD (
5G for low-latency, secure, and dependable communication services for fault handling in micro grids) is to develop an architecture and a set of communication services that can support protection schemes for micro grids, and to investigate the potential in 5G mobile communication (such as usage of the “network slicing” concept) to provide low-latency, secure, and dependable communication services. The position will be affiliated with
CINELDI and the
NTNU QUAM lab in Trondheim.The appointment is for a term of 3 years without teaching assistance and up to 4 years including 25% of teaching assistance.
QualificationsWe seek highly motivated and excellent candidates with a Master of Science degree (or have submitted their master thesis) in Communication Technology and Services or similar. The PhD will also require knowledge of power engineering and specifically protection, so the candidate needs to have strong willingness to strengthen his/her background in protection related topics. We will prioritize candidates with excellent communication skills - written and oral, and with ability to work independently, as well as in a team.
Language requirementsApplicants who do not master a Scandinavian language must provide evidence of good English language skills, written and spoken. The following tests can be used as such documentation: TOEFL, IELTS or Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) or Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE). Minimum scores are:
