About this position

Colorado State University’s Grid Modernization Initiative within the Energy Institute is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to advance AI-enabled microgrids and resilient energy systems for critical infrastructure.

The researcher will develop and evaluate optimization, control, and data-driven methods for microgrids, distributed energy resources, and energy storage. The work will also involve power-system models and digital twins developed through offline or real-time simulation, measurement data, and reproducible computational workflows.

Application areas include data center energy systems and the integration of small modular reactors. The researcher will investigate reliability, resilience, contingency response, and resource integration, while collaborating with CSU faculty and students, federal agencies, national laboratories, and industry partners.

The role also includes preparing technical reports, sponsor deliverables, research proposals, and project publications, coordinating activities with project partners, and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students. The position is based at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado, with a project visit to Cordova, Alaska.

Funding details

The position offers a full-time salary of $70,000 to $78,000 per year, together with Colorado State University employee benefits.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field, with all degree requirements completed by the employment start date. Applicants must have programming experience in at least one scientific computing language such as Python, MATLAB, Julia, or an equivalent. Preferred qualifications include research experience in power and energy systems; optimization or control of microgrids, distribution systems, or distributed energy resources; AI or machine learning applications to power systems; power system modeling, real-time simulation, or digital twins; energy resilience, energy storage, data center energy systems, or small modular reactor integration; peer-reviewed publications; strong written and oral technical communication; externally funded research collaboration; or student mentoring. The candidate must complete a pre-employment criminal background check, be legally authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship, and be able to perform the duties in Fort Collins, Colorado, including one project visit to Cordova, Alaska.
