Postdoctoral Research Associate - AI Models for Power Grid System
About the role
As a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science national laboratory, ORNL has an impressive 80-year legacy of addressing the nation’s most pressing challenges. Our team is made up of over 7,000 dedicated and innovative individuals! Our goal is to create an environment where a variety of perspectives and backgrounds are valued, ensuring ORNL is known as a top choice for employment. These principles are essential for supporting our broader mission to drive scientific breakthroughs and translate them into solutions for energy, environmental, and security challenges facing the nation. The Computational Coupled Physics (CCP) Group within the Computational Sciences and Engineering Division (CSED), at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to develop, scale, and apply artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) models for power grid systems. The successful candidate will contribute to scalable AI workflows for grid modeling, optimal power flow (OPF), surrogate modeling, and data-driven analysis of large-scale electric power system simulations on DOE leadership-class computing resources. For technical questions, contact Massimiliano Lupo Pasini ( lupopasinim@ornl.gov ) or Alex Plotkowski ( plotkowskiaj@ornl.gov ).
