Brief Theme Description:
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to contribute to the development, implementation, and validation of algorithms for modelling and optimizing drinking water treatment processes, spanning the entire cycle from catchment to tap operations. This work will focus on creating innovative solutions to support sustainable and efficient management of the urban water cycle.
Key responsibilities include the design and deployment of feedback and feedforward algorithms to enhance water treatment processes. The ideal candidate will possess strong expertise in control algorithms and demonstrate proficiency in programming languages such as Python and Matlab. In addition to technical skills, candidates with knowledge of advanced drinking water characterization techniques and experience with state-of-the-art sensors for chemical and microbial risk online monitoring will be highly regarded. These skills are essential to integrate advanced monitoring data into decision support systems for improved water quality and safety management.
Elegibility criteria:
- MSCA Mobility Rule: Candidates must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Spain for more than 12 months in the three years immediately before the deadline of the co-funded programme’s Open Call.
- Experienced Researcher (ER): Candidates must have a doctoral degree at the time of their enrolment.
- Proficiency in English.
