High Voltage Engineering Professor

A successful candidate has a track record of internationally competitive research in high voltage engineering, especially in the area of high voltage insulation system development. In addition, experience in more than one of the following topics is required: condition monitoring of high voltage apparatus; lightning protection of high voltage systems; grounding and travelling wave phenomena; high voltage testing methodology; high voltage metrology. You will pursue and supervise world-class scientific research in your topic area, collaborate actively with local, national and global research partners and industry, and secure both national and international research funding to run your own research group. You will also actively participate in teaching and supervising students at all levels. In addition, one of your tasks will be to lead the high voltage laboratory of Tampere University, which, besides scientific research activities, also offers various testing and research services for industry. Experience in these areas is considered an advantage.
