Tampere University and Tampere University of Applied Sciences create a unique environment for multidisciplinary, inspirational and high-impact research and education. Our university community has competitive edges in technology, health and society. www.tuni.fi/en We are looking for an Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor in the field of H igh Voltage Engineering . SITE DESCRIPTION The position is placed within the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences in the Electrical Engineering (EE) Unit in the field of the Tampere University Research Centre of Electrical Energy Engineering (EEERC). The EE Unit is a hub of expertise that includes 12 full professors, 9 tenure track professors, and roughly 220 staff members. We confer approximately 100 master’s and 15 doctoral degrees annually, collaborate closely with several industrial partners, and maintain an active presence in the international scientific community. The areas of expertise in the EEERC are: smart grids high voltage engineering power electronics electromechanics applied superconductivity Our research at the EEERC is organized in research groups led by four professors, four tenure track professors, and one adjunct professor. All groups participate in multidisciplinary and international scientific collaboration through research projects, doctoral training networks and research visits, and maintain strong partnerships with industry. Our teaching and research are based on a profound understanding of electrical and electromagnetic phenomena, the related modelling methods, and relevant practical applications. We are the largest university-level teaching organization in our field in Finland, offering master-level teaching in both Finnish and English across national and international degree programs. We provide excellent research and teaching infrastructure, including state-of-the-art laboratories, computing resources and advanced simulation tools. Our facilities include microgrid laboratories, a high voltage laboratory, power electronics laboratories, electromechanics laboratories, and a cryogenic laboratory.
