Postdoctoral Research Associate - Advanced Modeling & Sensing for Complex Systems
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate who will support the Sensors and Controls Group in the Energy Science and Technology Directorate (ESTD)at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) with expertise in modelling, sensor management, and process monitoring. The incumbent of this position will support research in water treatment process control, advanced manufacturing, and energy systems.
The chosen candidate is expected to perform research that expands the state-of-the-art for data- and model-based techniques for process supervision in a diverse range of manufacturing, energy production and distribution, and water treatment application areas. The chosen candidate is expected to publish the results of their research. Representative activities include: the development and implementation of algorithms and software tools for online identification of water treatment system models, smart manufacturing controls approaches for energy-intensive manufacturing applications, and collaboration with other ORNL researchers to develop technical research strategies to solve problems proposed by the Department of Energy (DOE) and industrial partners.

Water Resource Recovery Modeller
Nanjing Smart Technology Development Co. Ltd
We are developing a new team aiming to use simulation modelling to solve real problems in China. Improving the performance of WRRFs (formerly WWTPs) is one such area. With nearly 6000 municipal plants in China, there’s no shortage of opportunities. Of course plants could benefit from improvements in aeration, to reduce energy usage and costs, but reduction in GHG emissions (CH4 and N2O) will become increasingly important. We’re looking for people and also for connections. I’ll be pleased to discuss with individuals who may be looking for a new job, or with faculty in China or around the world, who may know students (past, present or future) who might be interested. You’re welcome to connect with lloydtownley on WeChat.

Urban Water Systems Modeller
Nanjing Smart Technology Development Co. Ltd
We are developing a new team aiming to use simulation modelling to solve real problems in China. China has committed to implementing concepts of “sponge cities” in 80% of 600 cities by 2030. Pilot projects were started in about 30 cities in 2015-16, but many opportunities remain. Sponge cities are closely related to low impact development (LID) and green infrastructure (GI) in North America, water sensitive urban design (WSUD) in Australia and may other concepts. The link with water resource recovery (the focus of WRRmod2021) is through design and operation of sewerage and drainage systems in cities that may have multiple WRRFs. We’re looking for people and also for connections. I’ll be pleased to discuss with individuals who may be looking for a new job, or with faculty in China or around the world, who may know students (past, present or future) who might be interested. You’re welcome to connect with lloydtownley on WeChat.

Postdoc or PhD: Automatic calibration of digital twins for leak detection in drinking water networks
Ghent University - Biomath
You will be working on a 1-year research project in collaboration with the Flemish drinking water utility De Watergroep. The project focuses on the development of a framework for automatic calibration and uncertainty analysis of digital twins for leak detection in drinking water networks. Specific tasks include:
- Conduct a literature review on state-of-the-art calibration methodologies
- Make an inventory among international drinking water utilities of the application and calibration of hydraulic models
- You will develop an open python package for automatic calibration of EPAnet drinking water network models. This framework will include:
o Sensitivity analysis to determine the most important sources of uncertainty in a calibration exercise (ex. pipe roughness factors)
o Definition of physical constraints on the calibration algorithm (ex. flow-pressure relation)
o Implementation of a parameter optimization algorithm (ex. genetic algorithms)
o Identifiability analysis on the estimated model parameters
- If needed based on the identifiability analysis you will look into model reduction strategies such as skeletonization
- You will develop a methodology for the propagation of important sources of uncertainty in a hydraulic model.
- You will apply and test your methodology to a case-study in the north-east of Belgium.

Assistant/Associate Professor in environmental engineering. University of Navarra
University of Navarra
A full-time academic position as a tenure track lecturer for a period of two years is offered. Following a favourable evaluation, this period will be followed by permanent appointment (tenure) as assistant/Associate/Full professor.
As a member of the academic staff, candidate will contribute to the University of Navarra’s three core tasks: research, educationation and services/management. Thus, his/her role will consist primarily on academic research (50%), lecturing (40%), and services and management (10%).
His/her research activities will be carried out in collaboration and as part of the Water and Waste group in Ceit. The group’s R&D activities are developed from an experimental, mathematical modelling and digitalization point of view. This activity is applied in the industrial sector (agri-food, paper, oil and gas, pharmaceutical-sanitary) and in the urban area (sewage and solid waste).
Candidates will have the opportunity to develop his/her own research in a closed relationship with other members of the group, other faculties or research institutions at the university related to the above mentioned areas.
