    The Systems Assessment Group (SAG) of Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has a post-doctoral researcher position open for a candidate with strong expertise and experience in optimization and/or statistics and their applications in transportation network modeling. A good understanding/background/skills of one or several of the following items is a big plus:

    • general operation of the transportation sector and of transportation systems within it
    • emerging technologies (such as connected and automated vehicles, shared mobility, etc) and alternative fuels likely to be used in transportation systems
    • system modeling methodologies such as agent-based modeling/simulation
    • energy and environmental impacts of transportation systems, modes and vehicle/fuel technologies
    • familiar with various databases and analytical models and have experience in analyzing large data sets
    • computer programming skills in Java or Python (or similar language), MS Excel, SAS and other relevant software
    • vehicle to grid interaction

    Potential projects include, but are not limited to, developing models to identify the optimal locations for electric vehicle charging infrastructure or hydrogen filling stations under given conditions, the likely buildout of those locations into networks, and the effect of that buildout on market penetration.

    Qualified individuals should have a Ph.D. degree in transportation, operations research, mechanical, environmental, power engineering, or a related field, and be familiar with energy and environmental impacts of transportation systems, modes and vehicle/fuel technologies. Good oral and written communication skills are also required. Start date is negotiable.

    For further information, contact Dr. Yan (Joann) Zhou at (630) 252-1215 or at yzhou@anl.gov.
