Wireless Water Quality Monitoring Postdoc

Job Type: Post-Doc

Job Rank: Post-doc

Job Institution: The University of British Columbia Okanagan

Salary Range: $50,000 / yr (not including benefits)

Dr. Peleato and Dr. Chaaban are inviting applications for 1 full-time Postdoctoral position to participate in an industry-supported research project to improve water quality sensing and modelling in drinking water distribution systems.

Minimum Qualifications:

  1. PhD received within the last 5 years in a related field.
  2. Willingness to relocate to Kelowna, British Columbia.

Project Summary:

Advancements in information and communication technologies are enabling cities to manage infrastructure and services more intelligently. A promising area of smart city development is improving the capabilities of monitoring and controlling drinking water infrastructure. Delivery of safe and high-quality drinking water is an essential public service. However, there is limited real-time monitoring of the water distribution networks' edges or customer water quality, ultimately where the water is used, and quality matters the most.

This project aims to address challenges with maintaining water quality in distribution systems by developing wireless water quality sensors for monitoring at service connections (i.e., connection to a home or at the customer's point of use). This technology will enable utilities to respond to water quality issues faster and with greater spatial information. Furthermore, monitoring data at customer use points will increase customer assurance in the delivered water quality. The project also looks to leverage large amounts of monitored data to develop machine learning models that would aid in tighter control of the water treatment processes.

Expectations for the Position:

  1. Supervising and carrying out sampling campaigns related to distribution system water quality.
  2. Developing new lines of research in the area of water quality control in distribution systems.
  3. Providing day-to-day supervision of students.
  4. Communicating results to partners.

Candidates with expertise in machine learning, drinking water quality, conventional and emerging disinfection byproduct analysis by liquid and gas chromatography, and distribution system management are encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate would also have experience writing proposals, managing budgets, driving results, and conception and completion of quality publications.
