About this position

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in grid modeling, with a focus on electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation, dynamic and transient inverter modeling, and related software development for power-system applications.

The position sits in the Grid Transients & Advanced Modeling Group within the Electrification and Energy Infrastructure Division of ORNL’s Energy Science and Technology Directorate. The research supports DOE mission areas related to grid reliability, affordability, and the integration of new technologies into transmission and distribution systems.

Core work includes developing EMT models for transmission/distribution grids, synchronous generators, large loads, and transmission networks; building simulation algorithms for large-scale studies; integrating component/device models into open-source tools; and adding post-processing automation for simulations. The role also emphasizes scientific publication and presentation of results at conferences and to sponsors.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a Ph.D. in electrical engineering or a related discipline completed within the last five years. Required experience includes power systems, power electronics, C/C++, Matlab, Python, and power-system software such as PSCAD and PSS/e. Preferred experience includes software development, GPUs/multi-core CPUs/advanced computing, and strong communication skills.

Funding and appointment: the appointment is up to 24 months with possible extension, depending on performance and funding availability. ORNL notes competitive pay and benefits, but no specific stipend is listed.

Location: Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States.

How to apply: submit the application through the ORNL jobs portal.
