Schweiz Eawag Vollzeit

Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, is an internationally networked aquatic research institute within the ETH Domain (Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology). Eawag conducts research, education and expert consulting to achieve the dual goals of meeting direct human needs for water and maintaining the function and integrity of aquatic ecosystems.

Postdoctoral Researcher on modelling and mitigation of N2O formation in biological wastewater treatment (M/F/d)

**Project background**: This postdoctoral position is part of SCENE (Swiss Center of Excellence on Net-Zero Emissions), a joint initiative in the strategic area Energy, Climate and Sustainable Environment of the ETH Domain (ETHZ, EPFL, Eawag, Empa, PSI, and WSL). SCENE covers a broad range of research areas related to net-zero emissions as an inter-institutional collaboration framework. The open position is embedded in this overall consortium and specifically located in a sub-project focusing on the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from wastewater treatment.

**Job description**: Recent research reveals that the potent GHG and ozone depleting substance nitrous oxide (N2O) dominates GHG emissions from biological wastewater treatment. The development of effective operational strategies to reduce or avoid N2O generation requires detailed process knowledge. Mathematical modelling of N2O formation is an excellent way to formulate, foster, and test our process understanding as well as pre-evaluating N2O reduction measures.

The tasks of this postdoctoral position will comprise:

- Advanced data analysis (including the use of data mining techniques) of previous N2O measurement campaigns
- Model development (machine learning, mechanistic or hybrid modelling) for quantitative prediction of N2O emissions from biological wastewater treatment; For this, a collaboration with a fellow-postdoctoral researcher at Empa is envisaged in order to take N2O isotope analysis into account
- Evaluation of different N2O mitigation strategies with the model to support the design of pilot experiments and/or full-scale tests
- Estimation of future long-term GHG emission trajectories related to wastewater at Swiss national scale

**Eawag is** a modern employer and offers an excellent interdisciplinary working environment where staff can contribute their strengths, experience and ways of thinking. We promote gender equality and are committed to staff diversity and inclusion. The compatibility of career and family is of central importance to us.
