See details in:
Job Description
The Economics and Forecasting Group at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is seeking a Postdoctoral candidate with experience in economic and optimization modeling to join a team of expert analysts and modelers to develop a state-of-the art model of the US and global economies. This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated individual to take part in new areas of research and modeling at NREL, the nation's primary laboratory for research, development, and analysis of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.
The successful candidate would work with senior researchers to develop a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model in the Julia programming language to be linked with models of the transportation and electricity sectors either through co-optimization or iteration. Following model development, the successful candidate would also help to conduct analyses on the interactions of energy systems and the economy.
Previous experience with economic equilibrium modeling is required. Experience with equilibrium-based modeling approaches, such as Mixed Complementary Problems (MCPs), is strongly preferred. The successful candidate should also have knowledge of the energy sectors, specifically electricity generation and transportation, as well as general knowledge of optimization modeling.
Specific job duties may include:
Data manipulation and model development,
Scaling, testing, and validating the resulting model structure using high performance computing resources and advanced solving techniques,
Presenting analyses at meetings, conferences, and workshops,
Writing and publishing results of methods in peer-reviewed journals and/or technical reports,
Collaborating with analysts working on other modeling teams to relate inputs and outputs across models.
