Responsibilities

PNNL is soliciting applications for postdoctoral scientist positions advancing research and modeling of energy, critical minerals and materials (CMM), and supply chain systems. This research will contribute to the Global Change Intersectoral Modeling System (GCIMS) Science Focus Area led by PNNL and sponsored by DOE BER, as well as other projects at PNNL. The successful applicant will lead the analysis using the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM; http://jgcri.github.io/gcam-doc/index.html). Specifically, this scientist will focus on model, data, and scenario development to generate GCAM simulations that quantify the impacts of uncertain technologies, resources, and other relevant factors on the integrated energy, CMM, and economic systems. The scientist is expected to apply advancing artificial intelligence and machine learning tools in this analysis where appropriate. The scientist is also expected to lead multiple peer-reviewed publications on this work; there will be many opportunities to work with the multi-disciplinary PNNL team as well as collaborators in other national labs and universities.
