Postdoctoral Researcher on Modelling of Micropollutant Removal from Wastewater by Activated Carbon
vor 4 Wochen
We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team at Eawag. The successful candidate will be part of an interdisciplinary expert team and work on a project focused on developing novel approaches to model the complexity of micropollutant removal processes from treated wastewater using granular activated carbon.
Key Responsibilities:
The Postdoctoral Researcher will be responsible for developing a hybrid model for the prediction of effluent concentrations in granular activated carbon systems, accounting for physical and biological processes. Additionally, the candidate will leverage the interplay of data-driven and mechanistic modelling techniques to gain new insights and advance our understanding of micropollutant removal processes.
Requirements:
The successful candidate holds a PhD in environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, environmental sciences, or similar. She/He must have modelling experience with mechanistic approaches, including programming skills (e.g., Python, Julia, Matlab, R). Furthermore, the candidate should be familiar with system modelling in general and with basic concepts of process engineering. Specific process knowledge in wastewater treatment, activated carbon systems as well as with micropollutant removal processes is highly desirable. Experience in data-driven modelling and in handling large datasets is beneficial.
What We Offer:
We appreciate excellent spoken/written English, good organizational skills, and an independent working style. The application must include a cover letter explaining your motivation for the position, a CV, at least two letters of reference (including contact information for references), diplomas and transcripts. The start date will be defined by mutual agreement and the period of appointment is 24 months.
