Job abstractJV_description

A full-time associate professor position in Energy Informatics is available with the research section of Digital Infrastructures and Security at the University of Oslo. The department is seeking a potential scientific leader with clear research visions, educational and administrative skills and abilities to establish and lead research projects.

The research section of Digital Infrastructures and Security (DIAS) has nine full-time faculty members. It encompasses research activities in most layers of distributed systems and networking, security, and most topics in energy informatics.

With energy informatics, the DIAS section has been considering fundamental challenges related to demand response, communications issues, cyber security, blockchain, and edge computing for smart and secure energy systems. The section also studies the integration of renewable energy and data centers for green computing by applying machine learning approaches.

Further information about the DIAS section can be found here:

Qualification requirements

• The candidate must hold a PhD and have achieved associate professor level in informatics with formal qualifications within the area of energy informatics.
• Topics of interest for this position include IoT for smart energy systems, secure energy management (e.g., using blockchain technology), machine learning and data analytics for intelligent and sustainable energy management, renewable energy forecasting, electric vehicles, and renewable energy integration. It is expected that the research in this area will be partly based on big data analytics, models and simulations; partly it will include development and evaluation of system prototypes together with industrial partners and available European test beds.
• We expect candidates to show a strong record of conducting research on relevant topics within energy informatics and significant industrial collaboration.
• The applicant should also describe how his/her research and teaching is related to the current activity in the Digital Infrastructures and Security section and at the department and how it may extend and complement it.
• Many computer science projects at the department use combinations of simulations, experiments, development of prototypes and empirical analysis. While a wide span of research methods including complementary theoretical research is considered an advantage, the candidate is expected to have expertise in system building and empirical analysis in order to contribute to such projects.
• The candidate employed in the position is expected to further develop educational offerings in energy informatics at bachelor, master and PhD levels. While the department currently offers a master level course in energy informatics, it may in time be relevant to develop a full educational program in energy informatics built from existing courses in informatics and sustainable energy systems, supplemented with a few specialized courses and seminars on energy informatics. Experience from teaching similar educational programs is a distinct advantage. She/he must be capable of teaching at all levels: bachelor, master and PhD.
• Fluency in both written and spoken English is a prerequisite.

The successful candidate should have an international profile with respect to the above criteria. The candidate for this position will be selected based on excellence and fit with the section's research profile.

We offer

• salary NOK 631 700 - 731 400 per annum depending on qualifications in position as Associate professor (position code 1011) 
• a professionally stimulating working environment
• attractive welfare benefits and a generous pension agreement, in addition to Oslo's family-friendly environment with its rich opportunities for culture and outdoor activities
• the opportunity to apply for promotion to full professorship at a later stage
