Researcher in statistical method development for energy system forecasting

Are you interested in working with research into novel moment-based statistical methods for energy system forecasting, with the support of competent and friendly colleagues in an international environment? Are you looking for an employer that invests in sustainable employeeship and offers safe, favourable working conditions? We welcome you to apply for a researcher position at Uppsala University.

The Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering consists of three divisions: Quality Science, Industrial Engineering and Management and Civil Engineering and Built Environment. The department has approximately 100 employees and has its research and education both at the Ångström Laboratory in Uppsala and at Campus Gotland. For more information, see the web of the department. This position will be located at the division of Civil Engineering and Built Environment in Uppsala.

The Division Civil Engineering and Built Environment conducts research and education in the field of construction with a focus on energy in buildings and the built environment. We provide courses in building physics, building design, energy efficiency in buildings, energy systems for buildings and infrastructure systems. Around 20 people work with us and we have several successful collaborations with businesses and organizations. For more information, see the webpage of the division. 

Duties

This position relates to developing mathematical methods for estimating solar power generation and electricity use on very short time scales, to be used in energy system optimization. The focus will be on research into novel moment-based statistical methods for energy system forecasting.

Requirements

A successful candidate should have a PhD degree in a technical field and research experience in developing probabilistic methods, in particular related to statistical moment modelling of non-parametric probability distributions.

 About the employment
The employment is a temporary position, 5 months. Scope of employment 100 %. Starting date as agreed. Placement: Uppsala.
