Position Description

We would like to invite applications for a one-year postdoctoral position, hosted by the University of Calgary, in forecasting and mathematical modeling for renewable energy.

We are seeking applicants with a strong quantitative background and research experience with real world applications involving high dimensional data. Some key topics of interest include but not limited to: Spatio-temporal processes, extreme value theory, stochastic dynamical systems, hierarchical Bayesian models, optimization, mean field games, and applications of these methods to renewable energy related topics such as atmospheric modeling, wind and solar farm modeling, transmission and generation planning, electricity markets etc.

The earliest possible start date is March 1st, 2026.

The position can be combined with a sessional instructorship appointment in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, for which the candidates need to apply separately. The sessional teaching corresponds to one or at most two courses. Combined with sessional instructorship the minimum total salary is 57,000 CAD per year plus benefits.

We are committed to employment equity and diversity, and encourage applications from all qualified candidates, including women, people from any sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression; people of any races, including Indigenous peoples, visible minorities, and racialized people; people with disabilities. Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and foreign nationals are all encouraged to apply.

Applications must be submitted electronically through mathjobs.org and consist of the following:

• An AMS standard cover letter
• A curriculum vitae
• Research statement (3 pages maximum)
• Three recommendation letters, with one addressing teaching.

The candidate must also arrange for a nomination letter from a faculty member (sponsor) from the University of Calgary participating in the above CRG. Candidates must indicate their sponsor(s) in the "PIMS-PDF Sponsor" section of the application form and select the option to email that person when submitting their application. Sponsors will be sent a form (via MathJobs) which they must complete. Failure to do so may result in your application not being considered.

Below is a list of participating faculty members (potential sponsors):

• Anatoliy Swischuk, Department of Mathematics and Statistics anitoliy.swischuk@ucalgary.ca
• Jinniao Qiu, Department of Mathematics and Statistics jinniao.qiu@ucalgary.ca
