About the job
We are looking for a motivated candidate who will be interested in computational optimization or systems engineering (e.g. systems, computer science, statistics, electrical/chemical engineering, applied mathematics, etc) to work for a European Horizon project, focused on the development of an innovative integrated approach (digital twin) for the monitoring, management, and utilization of urban water resources.
PhD and Post-doc options are available
About the project
Conventional, fragmented approaches to urban water management are no longer adequate as they have failed (or are likely to fail) from the perspective of cost effectiveness, technical performance, social equity, and environmental sustainability. A system-wide paradigm shift is required towards the formation of a synergic urban-water relationship. Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) provides a framework for interventions over the entire water cycle which simultaneously advance water resources security, enhance the quality of life, optimise economic growth, maintain ecological balance and improve water systems’ resilience to climate change. Effective implementation of IUWM though must overcome some important challenges before these benefits can be realized.
