About this position

The Environmental Markets Lab (emLab) and Clean Energy Transformation Lab (CETlab) at the University of California Santa Barbara are seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar to lead research on low-carbon transitions in electricity systems, with a focus on India and other regions. The position involves developing operations and planning models for electricity systems, conducting power flow and transmission analysis, load forecasting, and analyzing climate impacts. The successful candidate will work closely with Associate Professor Ranjit Deshmukh, graduate students, postdocs, and lab collaborators, contributing to peer-reviewed publications, open-source modeling software, and policy briefs.

emLab is a team of scientists advancing economic and environmental research to deliver practical solutions for people and the planet, with programs in Climate & Energy, Land & Freshwater, Ocean & Fisheries, and People & Poverty. CETlab focuses on transforming energy systems to be cost-effective, sustainable, and equitable, applying energy systems modeling and empirical analyses to support clean energy transitions globally.

Applicants must have a PhD in engineering, interdisciplinary energy studies, or a related field by the time of appointment. Preferred qualifications include expertise in energy studies, power systems, renewable energy grid integration, optimization models, large dataset management, Python programming, transmission power flow, and machine learning. Strong scientific writing, presentation skills, and a collaborative approach are valued.

This is a fully funded, full-time postdoctoral position with a salary range of $69,073 to $85,000 per year, including a comprehensive benefits package. The anticipated start date is May 1, 2026, or later, with a two-year initial appointment. Applications are due by March 30, 2026, for primary consideration. Apply online through the UCSB recruitment portal. For more information about the labs, visit emLab and CETlab.

Research areas include low-carbon transitions, electricity systems, power flow, renewable energy integration, climate change impacts, and energy modeling. The University of California is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to diversity and inclusion.
