Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Digital Twin for Ocean Industries
5 days ago
With the uncertain prospects of climate change, improving the understanding of related geophysical, chemical, and biological implications for ocean spaces and ecosystems is crucial. Simultaneously, to attain the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs), in particular SDG11, SDG13, and SDG14, ocean industries are increasingly engaged in activities such as renewable energy generation and sustainable aquaculture and fisheries. Furthermore, climate-change related impacts of oceans to coastal zones, such as coastal erosion and flooding, need to be better understood and monitoring systems developed to support mitigation measures.
Key Responsibilities- Plan and refine research questions in a coherent framework.
- Collect, integrate, and manage data, models, and knowledge to answer research questions.
- Develop frameworks, modeling approaches, and technical implementation thereof through coding and programming work.
- Support and provide scientific and technical advice to graduate students working in the project.
- Write journal articles, conference articles, and book chapters to disseminate research findings.
- Support the development of specific models for selected case studies.
- Perform project management tasks such as coordinating stakeholder engagement activities, preparing reports, and disseminating results to diverse audiences.
- Hold a PhD in a relevant field, such as industrial engineering, systems engineering, operations research, computer science, engineering management, or a related field.
- Have relevant research experience in systems engineering and design, simulation modeling, data analytics, and operations research.
- Have a strong interest in interdisciplinary research to advance fundamental and applied knowledge.
- Have the ability and willingness to absorb new knowledge and learn new research methods as needed for attaining research objectives.
- Have knowledge of, or strong interest in, some of the following areas: ocean sensors and marine technology, ocean processes, ocean industries, maritime transportation, marine-related environmental, social, and economic activities, and risk analysis and modeling.
- Have relevant technical and software skills in modeling, coding, and programming, in languages such as Python, MatLab, or similar.
- Have experience in using other relevant research and research management software, such as qualitative data analysis, statistical analysis, project management, citation management, and office software.
- Have demonstrated high productivity in producing peer-reviewed publications.
- Have strong time management, organizational, and project management skills.
- Have experience conducting interviews and focus group research in engineering design contexts, and in organizing expert and/or end-user events to define design requirements and specify case studies.
- Work well both independently and as part of an interdisciplinary team.
- Have 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.
The position is available for a period of 12 months, with a 6-month probation period.
