NLR is located at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Golden, Colorado is the nation’s primary laboratory for energy systems research and development.

Join the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR), where world-class scientists, engineers, and experts are accelerating energy innovation through breakthrough research and systems integration. From our mission to our collaborative culture, NLR stands out in the research community for its commitment to an affordable and secure energy future. Spanning foundational science to applied systems engineering and analysis, we focus on solving complex challenges to deliver advanced, secure, reliable, and cost-effective energy solutions.

Our work helps strengthen U.S. industries, support job creation, and promote national economic growth.

At NLR, you’ll find a mission-driven environment supported by state-of-the-art facilities, multidisciplinary research teams, and strong collaborations with industry, academia, and other national laboratories. We offer robust professional development opportunities, and a competitive benefits package designed to support your career and well-being.

The Artificial Intelligence, Learning, and Intelligent Systems group in NLR’s Computational Science Center has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher to pursue a cross-disciplinary research project in statistical modeling with an emphasison combining statistics and deep learning.

The candidate will develop statistical and machine learning techniques along with associated software to characterize, modeland fuse multiple sources of  particular, the candidate will focus ondisruptive eventsand characterize their impacts on infrastructures such as power grids. The successful candidate will be challenged by large datasets, complex interactions of extremes and highly non-linear phenomena.

The candidate will evaluate and communicate results through written research reports and presentations, participate in group meetings and seminars, and assist in engineering and writing statistics and deep learning software, statistical and probabilistic data analysis of results, algorithm design, and publication development.

The candidate will help draft and publish technical reports, conference papers, and journal publications describing the research andisexpected to attend and present at technical conferences.
