(20%) - Presentation publication, and proposal preparation

(10%) - Laboratory organization and management

(5%) - Mentoring PhD and MSME students

(5%) - Other duties as assigned

In this position you will be expected to perform high level experimental, theoretical, and/or numerical research. The research associate will work on power and energy systems associated with electrified mobility. Electrified mobility includes ground, marine, and air vehicles that move goods and people. The research will involve primarily modeling, simulation, and analysis with a possibility for some experimental model validation, but you will have some latitude to study a variety of scientific topics chosen through mutual agreement and within the constraints of available funding.

In this context, you might be expected to generate new research ideas and lead development of new research proposals.

In this position, you will collaborate with a highly interdisciplinary team within the University of Minnesota and partner universities. Such collaborations may also extend to leading the communication with industrial partners through regular progress reports and supporting technology transfer processes where applicable. You will also be expected to participate in preparing, presenting, and discussing data with study investigators.

You will be expected to author, co-author, and otherwise collaborate on preparing publications for peer review describing research results, assisting with the preparation of progress reports as required by funding agencies, preparation of presentations for conferences, attendance at grant review meetings, and assisting with proposal preparation. You will also be expected to participate in preparing, presenting, and discussing data with study investigators.

As a postdoctoral associate, you will be encouraged to serve as a leader on your research team by mentoring graduate students, undergraduate students, and/or lab technician research team members. This may include advice on technical questions, data analysis, discussions on the development of research plans, preparation of manuscripts and reports, participating in the application / execution of established techniques to other projects, and helping them to develop and pursue their own independent research as a co-author.

You might be acting lead on research projects and expected to effectively coordinate research activities within the project team, communicate project needs, and provide regular updates on project progress to the lab group and Principal Investigator.

You will have joint responsibility for the organization and management of laboratories under the faculty mentor's supervision ensuring all lab members follow all safety protocols, properly recording data from experimental and numerical research and promptly backing up all data.

While in this position you might also have the opportunity to teach courses offered in our department. These duties would be to prepare and deliver lectures, prepare homework assignments, quizzes and exams, hold office hours, assess student work, supervise the teaching assistants and manage the administration of the course.

Other duties as assigned.
