Columbia University, Industrial Engineering and Operations Research Department

Columbia University Post-doctoral Position The Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR) at Columbia University in New York City invites applications for two post-doctoral positions for the project ``Risk-Aware Power System Control, Dispatch and Market Incentive'', funded by ARPA-E. The post-doc will work with professors Daniel Bienstock, Agostino Capponi, and Garud Iyengar at Columbia. The post-doc will work on the analytics, engineering design, and development of a risk dashboard for operations in power systems. The dashboard will rely on advanced techniques from risk management and newly designed asset and systemic risk metrics to continuously track systems and market conditions, as well as to proactively dispatch available resources to avoid insecure operations.  An important goal of the project is to inform independent system operators on how to use renewable, demand and storage resources for reducing risk, and on how to adequately...
