Post Doctoral Researcher - Mathematical Modelling for Sustainable Electrical Energy (Re-advertisement) : Limerick, Ireland

The SEES Strategic Research Cluster brings together multidisciplinary expertise to tackle fundamental applied research and demonstration challenges to underpin the emergence of future integrated, smart and sustainable electrical energy systems, while MACSI is dedicated to solving real problems that arise in industry and science using world-class research in mathematical modelling. The successful candidate will be based in the MACSI group at the University of Limerick, under the guidance of Prof James Gleeson and Dr William Lee.
He/she will take responsibility for mathematical modelling tasks of mutual interest to MACSI and SEES partners. These tasks could include, but are not limited to;

• Interdependencies of energy systems, including blackout cascades.
• Forecasting under uncertainty.
• Modelling, control, and stability analysis.
• Transmission investment planning.
• Mathematical analysis of optimisation tools for mixed-integer problems.
• Fundamental methods for agent-based models of product uptake.

Essential Requirements

• PhD (attained, or soon to be attained) in applied mathematics or related discipline with significant mathematical content.
• Strong analytical and computational skills.
• Experience of mathematical modelling for applied problems.
• Experience of collaboration with engineering and/or industry.

Desirable Requirements

• Record of publication in international journals.
• Experience of postdoctoral research in a relevant area.
• Experience in writing successful research funding applications.
• Good interpersonal and project management skills….
