Computer Science Research Assistant - Temporary
About The Position
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.
Requirements
- Strong related research background.
- Enjoy working in teams.
Responsibilities
- Refine the thesis into a concise and compelling journal manuscript.
- Restructure the narrative.
- Sharpen the statement of novelty and contribution.
- Tighten the methodological exposition.
- Improve the presentation of results and figures.
- Undertake limited additional analysis to address robustness and anticipated reviewer questions.
