The Center for Information and Systems Engineering (CISE) at Boston University is seeking a postdoctoral fellow with strong research background in optimization, dynamic programming and stochastic control interested to apply her/his expertise in problems arising in the context of power market clearing, demand response and smart grid enabled coordination of distributed resources. The primary focus of the work is spatio-temporally coupled of distributed resources and flexible demand, and the optimization of associated degrees of freedom in conjunction with intermittent generation and fast regulation reserve requirements.

The candidate should ideally have a Ph.D. in Electrical, Computer, Industrial, or Systems Engineering, Operations Research, or a related field.

The candidate will work under the supervision of Prof. Michael Caramanis. The position is available for one year, starting as early as possible, with possibility for extension depending on funding availability.

Interested candidates should send their CV to Prof. Caramanis (mcaramans@bu.edu).
