2 Postdoc positions Civil & Environmental Engineering NTU

The Environment and Water Industry Council (EWI) has awarded a project to be undertaken by the consortium of Nanyang Technological University (NTU), DHI‐NTU Centre, and Centre for Advanced Water Technology (CAWT). The project aims to optimize MBR plant operations and bioprocesses. Two Post‐Doctoral Fellow positions are sought for the project:

1) Post‐Doctoral Fellow #1
This Post‐Doctoral Fellow will perform Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) modeling and optimization of MBR plant operations. Duties include MBR plant operations data collection, data mining, ANN modeling, and system optimizations. The duration of the position is for 2 years.

Qualifications Required:

a) Ph.D. in related field
b) Experience in ANN modeling and non‐linear systems optimization
c) Strong publication record
d) Highly motivated

2) Post‐Doctoral Fellow #2
This Post‐Doctoral Fellow will perform duties that are divided under two categories:

i) Pilot‐scale MBR plant operations, testing, and optimization
ii) MBR process modeling software development
The duration of the position is for 2 years.

Qualifications Required:

a) Ph.D. in related field
b) Experience in MBR plant operations, optimization, and process modeling
c) Experience in MBR modeling software development
d) Strong publication record
e) Highly motivated
