Job description
The SRNL Doctoral Research Fellow in Power Systems will contribute to SRNL’s mission of advancing the resilience and intelligence of the nation’s energy infrastructure by conducting multidisciplinary research at the intersection of power systems, physics-informed digital twins, and AI/ML. The Fellow will join a strategic workforce-development pipeline designed to address the critical national shortage of U.S. PhD scientists with expertise in dynamic and transient analysis of advanced energy systems. The Fellow will work alongside SRNL scientists and university faculty on energy-systems research topics encompassing dynamic and transient analysis of electrical, thermal, and mechanical energy systems; real-time simulation using Controller Hardware-in-the-Loop (CHIL) and Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL); and the development of physics-informed AI/ML methods and digital-twin capabilities for nuclear-SMR, grid, and renewables applications. Fellows are provided an immersive learning environment to develop into the next generation of multidisciplinary energy researchers, integrate academic coursework with hands-on national-laboratory R&D, and make impactful contributions to ongoing DOE pr...
