Postdoctoral Position at the MIT Energy Initiative The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Energy Initiative (MITEI) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the simulation of energy conversion processes. This process-simulation-intensive research position will be responsible for model development, software interfacing and complex process configuration and analysis. The model development research is focused on IGCC and Polygeneration using Aspen Plus for conversion of carbonaceous materials to electricity, liquid fuels and chemicals. The software interfacing work will combine stochastic modeling methods using Bayesian uncertainty analysis tools with deterministic flowsheet modeling (Aspen Plus) and cost estimation modeling (ICARUS). In this research program, multiple configurations of IGCC and Polygeneration flowsheets will be built and analyzed. The postdoctoral research will work with Professors and PhD candidates across 5 research teams. This is an excellent opportunity for a postdoctoral candidate looking for an exceptional multi-disciplinary experience. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and at least two years of experience using Aspen Plus.
