The Research Associate will be responsible specifically for: (a) the novel integration and deployment strategy of commercial partial discharge capture instrumentation and weather station instrumentation for substation asset monitoring; (b) the laboratory testing, evaluation and calibration of the integrated instrumentation; (c) the development of remote data access capabilities; (d) the development of PD assessment software tools and prototype GUI demonstrators for asset PD integrity evaluation and PD trending; (d) the strategic deployment, calibration and testing of instrumentation and data retrieval within a substation environment (with assistance and input from NGET and Doble); (e) the creation of new methodologies and quantitative assessments for substation PD zoning, PD asset integrity identification and PD trending.
The Research Associate will work with the team focusing on developing and innovating advanced data analytic toolsets including machine learning methods for PD asset prognostics and PD diagnostics.
As a Research Associate, under the general guidance of a research leader, you will develop research objectives and proposals, play a lead role in relation to a specific project/s or part of a broader project, conduct individual and/or collaborative research, contribute to the development of new research methods, identify sources of funding, and contribute to the securing of funds for research, including drafting grant proposals and planning for future proposals. You will write up research work for publication, individually or in collaboration with colleagues, and disseminate the results via peer reviewed journal publications and presentation at conferences. You will join external networks to share information and ideas, inform the development of research objectives and to identify potential sources of funding. You will collaborate with colleagues to ensure that research advances inform departmental teaching effort and you will collaborate with colleagues on the development of knowledge exchange activities by, for example, participating in initiatives which establish research links with industry and influence public policy and the professions. You will supervise student projects, provide advice to students and contribute to teaching as required by, for example, running tutorials and supervising practical work. You will contribute in a developing capacity to Department/School, Faculty and/or University administrative and management functions and committees and engage in continuous professional development.
