About Us

At the Electric Power Systems unit, our project portfolio consists of research and innovation projects that combine technical perspectives - how electric power systems should be built, managed, and operated - and economic perspectives, including the development of the electricity market, regulation, and policy issues. In addition to our research projects, we also handle various customer assignments. Our projects range from short-term to multi-year engagements, often in collaboration with colleagues from other units within RISE as well as national and international partners.

Our team comprises 15 researchers, engineers and project managers who enjoy collaborating. We represent several different nationalities, and our projects extend both within and outside Sweden's borders. Half of the team is based in Gothenburg and the other half in Stockholm. The location for this position is in Stockholm.

About the Electric Power System

The electric power system plays a central role in the transformation of the Swedish energy system. A key factor driving this is the electrification of the industrial and transport sectors. RISE contributes to this development with analyses and solutions through creating and executing research, innovation, and development projects in collaboration with companies, universities, institutes, and the public sector.

About the Role

We are now looking for a researcher who wants to help strengthen RISE's ability to create and drive projects in areas that address the challenges of the electric power system and electricity market. We offer a wide range of tasks, including problem-solving, method development, simulation and modeling, analysis, project management, writing applications, and delivering presentations and results in one of the most important transition areas of our time. The role provides opportunities to delve into new areas, to develop new project ideas and collaborations towards improving both the long-term and short-term technical functionality of the power system and the electricity market to enable green energy transition.
