vor 1 Woche
EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, is one of the most dynamic university campuses in Europe and ranks among the top 20 universities worldwide. The EPFL employs more than 6,500 people supporting the three main missions of the institutions: education, research and innovation. The EPFL campus offers an exceptional working environment at the heart of a community of more than 18,500 people, including over 14,000 students and 4,000 researchers from more than 120 different countries.
Postdoctoral Researcher on Short-Term Wind and Solar Power ForecastingThe Wind Engineering and Renewable Energy (WiRE) Laboratory at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is looking to fill a post-doctoral position in the field of short-term (typically from 6h to 24h) power forecasting of renewable energy sources (wind and solar). The successful post-doc candidate will work in the development of hybrid forecasting models combining numerical weather prediction (NWP) models with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for wind and solar energy production.
MissionThe research framework will involve data collected from various wind and solar power plants in Switzerland and worldwide. By using long time series of wind/solar power production, as well as NWP outputs (big data), the candidate will focus on the development and testing of new forecasting models, with especial emphasis in novel AI-based methods (e.g., deep learning, explainable and physics-informed AI, large language models, etc.).
ProfileIn order to qualify for the position, the candidates are required to have:
- Experience in machine-learning methods.
- Some skill in at least one of these topics:
- Large data sets analysis
- Statistics and uncertainty analysis (probabilistic)
- Weather modelling (Numerical Weather Prediction)
- Computing experience with Python.
- Excellent English writing and speaking skills.
- Strong peer-reviewed journal publication record.
- A stimulating and international working environment in the EPFL campus/Lausanne.
- Competitive salary and excellent working conditions.
- Opportunity to perform state-of-the-art research in one of the most dynamic scientific institutions in Europe.
