Research Fellow in AI for Battery Modelling Control

Coventry University Group • Coventry, England, United Kingdom • £37.10k - £40.52k / year • 2w ago

Our Mission

Coventry University Group is a global education group with a mission of creating better futures. Driven by our passion and belief that through education, equity, and innovation our students, people, and communities are empowered to transform their lives and the world around them. Our people are the key to our success and each role within the group plays a key role in shaping the world around us.

The Role

As a Research Fellow, you will collaborate with leading experts across three international labs—spanning Coventry University’s Centres for E-Mobility and Clean Growth and Computational Science and Mathematical Modelling, and Stellenbosch University’s Mathematical Modelling group in South Africa. This cross-continental partnership, based in the UK with mobility to South Africa, fosters pioneering, cross-disciplinary research that integrates AI, energy systems and advanced mathematics.

This position aims to advance the next generation of battery modelling and control strategies by combining Supervised Machine Learning and Reinforcement Learning. The objective is to significantly enhance battery performance and longevity. While conventional methods rely on either physics-based models or high-level state estimation, this project invites you to transcend these boundaries—developing novel, computationally efficient models grounded in real-world data, and leveraging RL to optimise performance, lifetime, or both.

Qualifications Required

PhD (or equivalent) or professional experience equivalent to a PhD demonstrating an ability to carry-out independent research with a 1st Class/2.1 Degree

Our Successful Candidate

We seek an ambitious researcher with a strong foundation in Bayesian theory, machine learning, and mathematical modelling. You should be confident in software development and capable of passing a programming test. Experience with battery systems, lab-based experimentation and reinforcement learning is highly desirable.

The Benefits

As a staff member of Coventry University, you will have access to a wide range of industry leading rewards and benefits which includes:

Excellent Employers Pension Contribution
30 days Annual leave plus Bank Holidays
New Holiday Purchase Scheme up to 5 additional days
Life Assurance 4x Salary
BUPA Cash Plan
50% off Tuition Fee’s for staff dependants
CU Reward Scheme – Discounts across a range of High Street/ Online Retailers
Cycle To Work scheme

Our Culture

As a global Education Group, equality, diversity, and inclusion are embedded within the fabric of our organisation and are a key focus of our core values. We harness the power and potential of the diverse cultures, backgrounds, abilities, and experiences of our students, colleagues, and partners to create opportunities for all.

Closing date: Thursday 31^st July
