Position Information

**Position Title**
- Postdoctoral Fellow in System Risk Analysis for Remote Pilotage Operations**Posting Number**
- PTAP2721P**Department/Unit**
- Industrial Engineering**Location**
- Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada**Job Summary & Key Responsibilities**

**Background**:
In a wider context of increased autonomy and digitalization in the maritime transportation industries, there is a prospect of using emerging technologies to develop more efficient and sustainable practices in maritime pilotage. In the specific environment of the Saint Lawrence Maritime Corridor (SLMC), there is wide stakeholder interest in transforming the existing maritime pilotage regime to include the possibility of remote pilotage, in which pilots would rely on advanced communication technologies to support bridge crews in safely navigating vessels through the waterways. Apart from possible benefits in reduced safety risks to human operators and the maritime transportation system, such remote operations may have beneficial impacts on UN sustainable development goals (**SDGs**), such as SDG11, SDG13, and SDG14.

To support decision making about the possible implementation of remote pilotage in the SLMC or in certain waterway areas within this, a project supported by Mitacs, Clear Seas Centre for Responsible Marine Shipping, and key maritime stakeholders related to pilotage in Canada will be implemented starting in Winter 2025. This project will make a comparative analysis of the human and system safety risks associated with remote pilotage, and investigate wider aspects related to impacts on the marine environment and ecosystems, socio-economic aspects, and stakeholder concerns.

**Position**:
Our Industrial Engineering Department is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow (PDF) in System Risk Analysis for Remote Pilotage Operations to play a pivotal role in research implementation, coordination, and management of a project focusing on these topics. The postdoc will join a dynamic, dedicated group under the supervision of Prof. Ronald Pelot and Prof. Floris Goerlandt in the Maritime Risk and Safety (MARS) Research Group at Dalhousie University, in further collaboration with professors from Dalhousie’s Faculties of Engineering, Computer Science, and Science.**Qualifications/Requirements of Position**
- Requirements:
- Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., industrial engineering, systems engineering, safety science, operations research, maritime transportation, engineering management, or a related field)

Additional desired skills:
- has relevant research experience in risk analysis, systems engineering, and operations research;
- has a strong interest in interdisciplinary research, to advance fundamental and applied knowledge;
- has the ability and willingness to absorb new knowledge and learn new research methods as needed for attaining the research objectives;
- has knowledge of, or strong interest in, some of the following areas (particularly in a Canadian context): maritime transportation, marine technology, human and organizational performance, area-based management, and risk analysis and modeling;
- has relevant technical and software skills in STPA and BN modeling, with coding and programming skills in languages such as Python, Matlab being an asset;
- has experience in using other relevant research and research management software (e.g., qualitative data analysis, statistical analysis, project management, citation management, office software, );
- has demonstrated high productivity in producing peer-reviewed publications;
- has strong time management, organizational, and project management skills;
- has experience conducting interviews and focus group research in engineering design and operations contexts, and in organizing expert and/or end-user events to define design requirements and specify case studies;
- works well both independently and as part of an interdisciplinary team;
- has experience guiding research assistants at undergraduate and graduate levels;
- can communicate effectively with researchers in various disciplines and with non-academic members of governments, communities, and the private sector.
- Given the wide range of qualifications, prospective applicants with strengths in only a subset of the above knowledge domains, but with a strong willingness to learn and widen their understanding of relevant concepts, frameworks, and methods to successfully implement the project, are encouraged to apply.**Salary Range/Pay Rate**
