Connectionists: Post-doctoral research position in power systems reliability management under uncertainty

[Louis Wehenkel]

Dear Colleagues,

The University of Liège invites applications for a post-doctoral 
research position in electric power systems reliability management.

The work will be carried out within the Department of Electrical 
Engineering and Computer Science - Institut Montefiore (see 
http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/). It will target the design of 
probabilistic simulation and optimization frameworks for analyzing the 
impact of power systems (un)reliability on electric power producers, in 
collaboration with Electrabel/Engie.

The successful candidate should be interested in power generation and 
power systems analysis, and be experienced in optimization under 
uncertainty and/or in machine learning. He should also have a strong 
motivation to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

The starting date is at the latest in September 2016. The initial 
contract will be for 1 year, with a possibility to extend it to 2 years.

Applications should be sent by email to Prof. Louis WEHENKEL 
(L.Wehenkel at ulg.ac.be), from whom further information may be requested.

Please send us a detailed CV, and provide a motivation letter mentioning 
your experience in relation to this position and your long-term research 
project.

The deadline for application is May 15, 2016.

Do not hesitate to forward this announcement.

Best regards,

Louis Wehenkel
