Postdoctoral Researcher – Energy engineering and monitoring of solar panel performance in semi‑arid environments
Position SummaryWe are seeking a docotor in energy to join our research team as a Postodoctoral researcher. The position focuses on studying the performance of photovoltaic solar panels installed on post‑mining sites, in relation to microclimatic variations induced by local vegetation. The researcher will contribute to the analysis of vegetation–climate–technology interactions to optimize energy yield in environments subject to climatic stress.
Responsibilities- Using environmental sensors and thermal cameras (UAV/IR).
- Comparative analysis of PV configurations: with vs. without vegetation.
- Studying dust deposition and its impact on energy performance.
- Analyzing meteorological, soil, and energy production data.
- Contributing to the modeling of PV performance under local conditions.
- Participating in the writing of scientific and technical deliverables.
- Compiling, analysing, and documenting experimental research results.
- Working closely with project partners.
- PhD in solar energy, electrical engineering, or environmental sciences.
- Proficiency in PV systems, instrumentation, and performance measurement.
- Experience in processing environmental data (Python, R, MATLAB).
- Interest in integrated approaches (energy–environment–biodiversity).
- Skills in UAV data analysis, thermography, and field measurements.
- Teamwork and collaborative problem‑solving abilities.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English and French.
