Geospatial Data Science section in NREL’s
Strategic Energy Analysis Center has an immediate
opening for a Postdoctoral Spatial Data Scientist
to pursue a cross-disciplinary research project in
analysis and visualization of spatial and temporal
data to help solve real-world energy system design
problems. This position will focus on creating
new capabilities to analyze scenarios and design
solutions for complex challenges in sustainable
energy development for a variety of clients both
within NREL and external to the laboratory. The
successful candidate will help to develop analysis
and visualization frameworks to model design
problems that are inherently spatiotemporal in
resource availability, energy distribution
networks, and energy demand scenarios. Duties will
include:</p>
