Internship opportunity: energy systems modelling with Julia at OECD-NEA, Paris area

The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency is looking for an intern to work in the Division of Nuclear Technology and Economics on system costs modelling.

Recent OECD-NEA work in this area includes this report on least-cost capacity mixes for decarbonized electricity systems in Sweden:

This work uses Nosy.jl, our energy systems optimization toolkit developed in Julia:

The goal of the internship is to benchmark Nosy against other energy systems models, comparing modelling approaches, assumptions, outputs, and computational performance.

Profile sought

We are looking for someone who:

  • has experience in energy systems modelling;

  • has a good understanding of linear optimization;

  • has experience with Julia - this is required;

  • has experience with Python - this is a plus;

  • is interested in electricity systems, capacity expansion, system costs, and low-carbon energy transitions.

Location and conditions

  • Duration: 6 months.

  • Location: Boulogne-Billancourt, Paris area, accessible by metro and bus from Paris.

  • Hybrid work is possible, fully remote is not possible.

  • Stipend: €1,000/month.
