Department Director, Techno Economic Analysis (TEA) and Infrastructure Analysis



Job description

Argonne National Laboratory is seeking a Department Director, Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA) and Infrastructure Analysis.

This is a full-time staff position with the Techno-Economic Anlaysis and Infrastructure Assessment department in the Energy Systems and Infrastructure Assessment Division.

As the Director of the Department, this position will play a pivotal role in advancing development and application of the existing and new modeling and analytic capabilities.

As a member of the EISA leadership team, the candidate will be responsible for developing strategic directions and pursuing implementation opportunities for the department in close collaboration with peers in the Life Cycle Analysis and Technology Assessment Department.

Argonne National Laboratory is a U.S. Department of Energy multidisciplinary science and engineering research center, where talented researchers work together to answer the biggest questions facing humanity.

Argonne’s Energy Systems and Infrastructure Analysis (ESIA) division within the Advanced Energy Technologies (AET) directorate is conducting research to address advanced energy systems, their economic and environmental effects, and their role in US energy security and global competitiveness through transparent, consistent, and objective analytic models and tools.

We identify opportunities for the US to develop and deploy creative strategies with world-class expertise and models/tools.

Within ESIA, the TEA and Infrastructure Analysis department focuses on developing TEA tools to evaluate economics and environmental performances of energy systems and needed infrastructure of delivering energy products such as hydrogen and electricity to the end use sectors.

The department consists of two groups – the TEA Group and the Process Modeling and Analysis Group – conduct detailed modeling and simulations of emerging energy technologies such as a variety of hydrogen production technologies and new applications of sustaining energy supply systems.

The department develops and applies technoeconomic and life cycle analysis methods and tools to evaluate the value proposition of technologies and services and identify market potential/adoption risks associated with ramping up advanced technologies and energy systems relative to conventional systems.

The modeling and analysis cover the entire supply chain of energy resources, including fossil, nuclear and renewables, that are needed to deploy emerging and advanced technologies across transportation, industrial and manufacturing sectors.

The department assesses technology advancement by conducting detailed processing modeling to analyze industrial and manufacturing processes (e.g., petroleum refining, petrochemical production, iron and steel making, cement production, etc.) and emerging technologies (e.g., catalytic processes and innovative manufacturing solutions) for efficiency enhancement and economic improvement via system integration and optimization modeling.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement the strategic direction for the Department maximizing impact towards achieving US energy security and global competitiveness.

  • Coordinate conception, development, and execution of R&D activities in close collaboration with peers across the division, directorate, and laboratory.

  • Develop and maintain cutting-edge models and tools and ensure safe, efficient operations.

  • Spearhead the development of innovative concepts and capabilities and guide their development into impactful research applications for broad societal impacts.

  • Lead a multidisciplinary R&D department providing scientific and technical leadership to group managers and principal investigators.

  • Support group managers and principal investigators with scope, budget, and schedule for new projects based on matching expertise and capabilities to research needs and project opportunities.

  • Engage with federal sponsors, peers at other national laboratories as well as domestic and international industrial collaborators through meetings, conferences, and interactions to cultivate robust project networks, foster collaboration and identifying potential project opportunities.

  • Position Requirements

  • Minimum qualifications include the following education and professional experience combinations with degree(s) in Mechanical Engineering or related field(s): PhD and 10+ years of experience; Master of Science and 12+ years of experience; Bachelor of Science and 15+ years of experience.

  • Supervising/leadership experiences of 10+ years.

  • Demonstrated experience leading multi-disciplinary teams in modeling and analysis.

  • Track record of strategic research road-mapping and implementation.

  • Knowledge of advanced and emerging energy technologies for applications in the transportation, industrial, and manufacturing sectors.

  • Knowledge of hydrogen production, delivery, and end uses across different economic sectors and hydrogen delivery infrastructure needs.

  • Experience with detailed process modeling of emerging technologies and TEA models to address economics of new technologies and systems.

  • Proven project management experience.

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and a passion for innovative solutions.

  • Demonstrated experience leading technical reports, journal articles and performing technical and non-technical presentations.

  • Adept at working in a collaborative, cross-functional team environment.

  • This position requires an on-site presence at the Argonne campus in Lemont, Illinois.

  • Ability to model Argonne’s core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork.

  • Ability to make our laboratory a safe, welcoming, inclusive, and accessible environment where all can thrive.
