General Notes
The Postdoctoral Fellow will join a growing group of interdisciplinary experts in energy systems, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy policy within the Center for Energy and Environmental Systems Analysis (CEESA). CEESA operates across multiple engineering departments at UT Austin and routinely collaborates with stakeholders in government agencies, industry, and non-profit organizations. This is a temporary training position that may be renewed annually, for a maximum of five years, based upon performance review, progress towards research goals, and continuation of funding.
Position Purpose
The Postdoctoral Fellow will conduct research on developing physics-informed models of the gas-electric interconnection network with applications in voluntary carbon markets, risk assessments, and energy transition planning under the supervision of Dr. Arvind Ravikumar. The recent National Petroleum Council report on Gas-Electric Coordination highlighted the critical importance of understanding the interconnecting dependencies between the natural gas system and the electric grid. Yet, a physical model that tracks the flow of natural gas from production regions to power plants does not exist. Such a physical model, if developed, could unlock a range of new applications in energy system research including traceability of carbon intensity of delivered gas, quantitative risk assessments associated with gas grid disruptions, and long-term planning to repurpose natural gas pipelines to carry carbon dioxide or hydrogen. The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for developing the model and illustrating its use across several application areas. This position will initially focus on developing a gas-electric integration model for the Southeast US, followed by an expansion to other regions.
Responsibilities
- Model Development: Develop a physics-informed model of integration of the natural gas pipeline system and electric power generation units in the US to probe interdependencies of the gas system and the electric system
- Case Studies and Application Areas: Use the gas-electric integration model to answer questions related to low-emissions gas certification, risk assessments in the electric system, and re-purposing pipelines to lower carbon solutions including CO2 transport
- Writing and Documentation: Leading peer-reviewed manuscripts, white papers, and project reports summarizing the findings of the research
- Performs other related duties as assigned
Required Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Energy System Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Atmospheric Sciences or a closely related field received within the last three years
- Demonstrated research experience in energy system modeling, greenhouse gas emission inventories, or engineering-based risk assessment models
Preferred Qualifications
- Demonstrated experience in communicating technical information to varied audiences in industry, government, and non-profit organizations
- Experience mentoring graduate and undergraduate students in research
- Strong track record of peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations
- Strong programming skills in Python
- Ability to work collaboratively with other research staff, post-doctoral scholars
Salary Range
$63,573 + depending on qualifications
Working Conditions
- Repetitive use of keyboard at workstation
- Repetitive use of standard office equipment
- Limited travel (2-3 trips per year to conferences and other meetings)
Required Materials
- CV that includes a full publication record
- Letter of interest
- 3 work references with their contact information; at least one reference should be from a supervisor
- Up to 2 relevant publications (peer-reviewed or pre-prints)

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship as a Data Analyst Intern
Align your DS-2019 training plan early
Your designated sponsor requires a detailed training plan before issuing the DS-2019. Map your planned projects to specific data skills like SQL querying, dashboard development, or statistical modeling to satisfy the structured training requirement upfront.
Confirm host employer eligibility before applying
Not every company can act as a J-1 host. Ask hiring managers directly whether their organization has worked with a designated sponsor before and whether their legal or HR team can sign a training plan with an organization like CIEE or Cultural Vistas.
Search Migrate Mate to find J-1 compatible roles
Use Migrate Mate to identify U.S. employers advertising data analyst intern positions that align with J-1 sponsorship. Filtering by internship type helps you focus on companies whose recruitment timelines and structures fit the Intern program category.
Verify your enrollment status meets program requirements
The J-1 Intern category requires you to be enrolled in a degree program or to have graduated within the past 12 months. Gather official enrollment verification or transcripts now, since designated sponsors request this documentation before processing your DS-2019.
Check for the two-year home residency requirement
Some J-1 participants in government-funded or skills-list programs must return home for two years after their exchange. Confirm with your designated sponsor whether your specific situation triggers this requirement before accepting an offer.
Time your application around sponsor processing windows
Designated sponsors typically need four to six weeks to issue a DS-2019 after receiving your training plan and host employer agreement. Build that window into your job search timeline so your start date aligns with when your documentation will actually be ready.
Data Analyst Intern J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category covers data analyst intern roles?
Data analyst intern positions fall under the J-1 Intern category, which is designed for current degree students or graduates within 12 months of completing their program. You work with a State Department-designated sponsor organization like Cultural Vistas or CIEE, which issues your DS-2019 and monitors your structured training plan throughout the placement.
Who actually sponsors my J-1 visa, the employer or someone else?
Your employer is the host organization, not your visa sponsor. The actual J-1 sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, such as IIE, CIEE, or Cultural Vistas, that issues your DS-2019 form, approves your training plan, and ensures regulatory compliance. Your host company hires you and supervises your work, but the designated sponsor holds the legal sponsorship responsibility.
What should a training plan include for a data analyst internship?
Your training plan needs to outline specific learning objectives tied to data analysis tasks, such as cleaning datasets, building reports in tools like Tableau or Power BI, running SQL queries, or supporting A/B testing. It should specify supervision arrangements, weekly hour commitments, and how each phase of the internship builds measurable skills. Vague plans are commonly rejected by designated sponsors.
How do I find U.S. employers open to J-1 hosting for data roles?
Many employers are unfamiliar with J-1 hosting requirements, so targeting companies already experienced with international interns saves time. Migrate Mate lets you search for data analyst intern opportunities at U.S. employers whose structures align with J-1 sponsorship, helping you avoid the common frustration of progressing through interviews only to hit a sponsorship dead end.
Does the J-1 Intern program have a home residency requirement for data analysts?
Most J-1 Intern participants are not subject to the two-year home residency requirement, but it depends on whether your program is government-funded or falls under a skills list maintained by your home country. Confirm this with your designated sponsor before signing any offer, since the requirement affects your ability to change status or apply for an immigrant visa afterward.
