About this position
The ENS Rennes is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the European SmartCORE project (Interreg North-West Europe), a consortium of 15 partners from 5 countries working to support citizen energy communities and increase renewable energy integration.
The successful researcher will join the SyEnsCES team at the IETR laboratory (UMR CNRS 6164), which focuses on sustainable energy systems and intelligent management of electrical grids. The position is embedded in a French demonstrator developed by ENS Rennes together with the association Énergies citoyennes en Pays de Vilaine (EPV) in Redon, with the goal of improving local energy consumption and production through digital energy management tools.
The postdoctoral work is strongly applied and data-driven. The researcher will develop forecasting algorithms for renewable generation and electricity consumption, design stochastic and distributed optimization methods for energy-community control, and implement and test these approaches in the project’s Energy Management System. The role also includes analysis of field data from the French demonstrator, simulation of alternative energy scenarios, and the creation, documentation, and publication of an open-source dataset.
In addition, the researcher will contribute technical reports and scientific publications, take part in exchanges with the European consortium, and help disseminate and valorize project results. The environment combines research at ENS Rennes, collaboration with an applied local partner in Redon, and international project interaction within SmartCORE.
The position is based at the ENS Rennes campus in Bruz near Rennes.
