UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 - job description
Mathematical models are often used to simulate future electricity markets. Such models provide insights and analysis into how to best address issues surrounding carbon emissions and consumer costs. However, there are several models suitable for modelling electricity markets, such as least-cost optimisation, game theory, and bi-level optimisation.
This project will revolve around the general theme of modelling electricity markets. It will study different types of models with the aim of finding a suitable model for the Irish system. Knowledge of electricity systems is not an essential requirement for this position. However, the successful applicant should have a background and interest in Operations Research\ Mathematical Modelling in addition to experience in coding.
This position is part of the NexSys (Next Generation Energy Systems) project, a multidisciplinary research programme.
To apply please visit ucd.ie/workatucd/jobs/ , click on "Search jobs for EXTERNAL applicants" and search ing the reference code 017457.
