Research Scientist - Energy Modeling Laboratory

Engineering a world of possibilities

The Colorado School of Mines (Mines) is seeking qualified candidates to provide research and energy modeling support for numerous ongoing projects in the Mines Energy Modeling Lab.

These roles are being offered through the Applied Mathematics and Statistics department in association with the Payne Institute for Public Policy. The Energy Modeling Lab () encompasses the Hammerling Research Group, one of the leading research groups specializing in modeling and data analysis for methane emissions and monitoring. Energy Modeling Research Scientists will take charge of one or more research projects in the group, with a focus on data analysis and modeling of methane emissions at various temporal and spatial scales. The position will involve collaboration with other research groups participating in joint projects.

Opportunities may arise throughout the year. The hourly pay and hours available each week will be determined on an individual basis, taking into account aspects such as the complexity of research and specific skills required. The duration of contracts and possibility of renewal may depend on performance and/or ongoing availability of funds.

The chosen researchers will work as part of a team alongside other financed researchers and faculty at Mines, and they will interact with research team partners at other US institutions. The available positions cover a range of objectives related to the group's energy research and modeling work. Successful candidates are expected to cultivate positive and strong working relationships with students, faculty, administrators, and external community and business partners as needed by the project. Occasional travel for meetings with collaborators and attendance at scientific conferences is likely. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until the roles are filled.

It should be noted that successful candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States at the time of application. Mines will not provide visa sponsorship for these roles.
