Job description

Overview

We are seeking a Computer Science researcher to work with the Energy Systems Analysis Group in the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment to convert a thesis study into a submission-ready journal article for a leading energy or interdisciplinary journal. The role is designed for the opportunity to translate a strong thesis into a high-impact academic publication.

The thesis develops CADENCE (Capital-Aware Deployment of Energy Networks with Coordinated Estimation), an extension of Princeton's Net-Zero X framework. It introduces a computational approach-using a Directed Acyclic Graph and Critical Path Method-to incorporate real-world deployment frictions, including interdependencies, capital discipline, stochastic timelines, and project abandonment. The results highlight how coordination and sequencing constraints can materially limit clean energy deployment.

Responsibilities

Working closely with Senior Research Scientist Chris Greig, the researcher will refine the thesis into a concise and compelling journal manuscript. This includes restructuring the narrative, sharpening the statement of novelty and contribution, tightening the methodological exposition, and improving the presentation of results and figures. Limited additional analysis may be undertaken to address robustness and anticipated reviewer questions.

This is a short-term, intensive collaboration with clear co-authorship and submission goals, suited to a candidate interested in research, publication, or graduate study. The position may be remote.

Qualifications

All candidates must have a strong related research background and enjoy working in teams.

Work pays $21.00/hour
