About this position

PhD opportunity in Uncertainty-Aware Time-Frequency Electricity Price Forecasting at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), Suzhou, China.

This funded PhD project sits at the intersection of computer science, statistics, mathematical modelling, and electrical engineering, with a strong application focus on energy markets and electricity price forecasting. The project aims to build an uncertainty-aware time-frequency modelling framework for renewable-dominated markets, addressing multiscale non-stationarity, regime switching, volatility clustering, and distributional shifts. It also explores probabilistic forecasting and decision-theoretic validation for risk-sensitive economic strategies.

Supervision is by Dr Jieming Ma (principal supervisor), with co-supervision from Dr Dawei Liu and Dr Martin Gairing. The project is hosted by XJTLU’s Academy of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Technology, and the degree is awarded by the University of Liverpool.

Funding: three-year funded studentship covering tuition fees and offering up to RMB 16,500 for international conference participation. The main research base is XJTLU in Suzhou, China, with a possible short-term visit 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. Strong spoken and written English is required; IELTS 6.5 or equivalent is expected for non-native English speakers.

How to apply: email [email protected] with the project title in the subject line and include your CV, two reference letters, personal statement, English certificate, transcripts, qualification certificates, and a PDF of your Master’s dissertation or equivalent writing sample if available. Applications are accepted all year round.
