Postdoctoral Research Associate in Carbon-Neutral Demand Forecasting
Core
Develop a high-resolution, bottom-up model of future energy demand incorporating electrification, fuel switching, and behavioural change to support infrastructure planning and policy for a net-zero future.
Role type
Postdoctoral Research Associate (Energy Systems Modelling)
Builds
DEEPSyM-Grid platform for precinct-scale modelling of clean energy demand and scenario-based analysis
Domain
Energy systems, decarbonisation, power and energy systems
Deliverable
production ML models
Required skills
demand modelling, energy systems optimisation, agent-based modelling, techno-economic forecasting, scientific programming (Julia/Python/Matlab), data analysis, probabilistic modelling
Preferred skills
energy modelling tools (Plexos), industry stakeholder engagement
Responsibilities
Develop and maintain an agent-based demand forecasting framework, undertake scenario-based analysis and quantify uncertainty, engage with industry stakeholders to validate modelling assumptions, align demand modelling with supply-side system planning tools, disseminate research through publications and policy briefings
Seniority
Postdoctoral Research Associate
