We have an opening in the Computational Engineering Division within the Engineering (ENG) Principal Associate Directorate (PAD) for a faculty member to engage in a 6-month collaborative research assignment of mutual interest to further their research goals. Opportunities include providing research in optimization methods for simulation of electricity markets in the medium and long term. The Faculty Scholar will be selected based upon their outstanding scholarship and research expertise and overlap with the Lab's mission. Please include a cover letter and your CV. Essential Duties Provide expertise in one or more of the following areas: short-term power system scheduling (e.g., unit commitment and optimal power flow), risk quantification and modeling in power systems, pricing mechanisms in electricity markets, ancillary services modeling, and capacity expansion planning. Collaborate with technical area leaders, project leaders, and program management in a multidisciplinary team environment to achieve research objectives. Perform theoretical and simulation studies of wholesale pricing impacts and mechanisms to capture impact of beyond-horizon constraints (e.g., large thermal commitment, storage and hydro management) in short-term electricity markets. Author complex scientific reports and deliver presentations to both internal and external scientific audiences. Participate in laboratory activities to both provide and gain exposure to ongoing research. Perform other duties as assigned.
