About this position
PhD opportunity in physics-guided causal-volatility modelling for renewable power forecasting at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) in Suzhou, China. The project sits at the intersection of physics, computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, statistics, and environmental science, with a strong focus on renewable energy forecasting, time-series foundation models, causal inference, multiscale volatility modelling, and probabilistic prediction.
The research aims to build interpretable and robust forecasting tools for renewable-dominated power systems by embedding physical energy conversion laws into scalable machine learning architectures. It is designed to identify key drivers of power variability, quantify their impact, and produce reliable uncertainty estimates for challenging ramp events and fluctuating generation.
This is a funded PhD studentship for three years, subject to satisfactory progress. The award covers tuition fees for three years and includes up to RMB 16,500 for international conference participation. The student will conduct most research at XJTLU in Suzhou, with possible short-term research visits to the University of Liverpool if required.
Eligibility highlights: a Master’s degree with Merit and a Bachelor’s degree with first-class or upper second-class honours are required for PhD admission. Exceptional Bachelor’s-only candidates may be considered. Good spoken and written English is essential, and an IELTS (or equivalent) score of 6.5 or above is required if English is not the first language.
How to apply: email [email protected] with the project title in the subject line. Include your CV, two reference letters, personal statement, English language certificate, transcripts, education certificates, and a dissertation/writing sample if available. Applications are accepted all year round.
