Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher - Energy engineering and monitoring of solar panel performance in semi-arid environmentsDuration: 12 months, renewablePosition Summary:We 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:
  • Monitoring PV panels: temperature, efficiency, dust accumulation.
  • 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, analyzing, and documenting experimental research results.
  • Working closely with project partners.
Candidate Profile:
  • 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.
Application Package:
  • Cover letter
  • Detailed CV
  • List of publications
  • Copies of degrees
  • Professional references (minimum of 2)
