EPRI IS HIRING FOR MULTIPLE POSTITIONS ON A ROLLING BASIS AND INTENDS TO KEEP THIS JOB POSTING OPEN THROUGH JUNE 2024.

As 1-in-50 or 1-in-100-year extreme events of the past increase in frequency, and society increasingly depends on electricity, energy companies, regulators, policymakers, and other industry stakeholders require science-based insights about the future power system and the environment in which it will operate to identify optimal adaptation and resilience investments. Climate READi was launched in 2022 to develop a standardized and consensus-based framework to facilitate analysis and application of appropriate climate data to enhance the planning, design, and operation of a resilient power system.

Candidates applying to this position would join 100+ EPRI subject matter experts from various areas of the Institute collaborating with 42 power companies from the United States, Canada, France, and the United Kingdom, and over 90 stakeholder organizations from around the world to first bring the Climate READi Framework development to completion in 2025, then roll out new research and assessment projects working with the broader Institute to continue Framework evolution and application in the years following.

The position will conduct interdisciplinary research that may include analytic or modeling work, and may also include slide decks, briefings, peer reviewed articles, and present research findings to a variety of audiences. The researcher will work collaboratively across disciplines and other research groups.
