Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, is an internationally networked aquatic research institute within the ETH Domain (Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology). Eawag conducts research, education and expert consulting to achieve the dual goals of meeting direct human needs for water and maintaining the function and integrity of aquatic ecosystems.
Tenure-track position as Group Leader in monitoring, control and automation of water and wastewater treatment processes
The Process Engineering Department (ENG) invites applications from highly motivated researchers for a
Duty
Process monitoring, control, and machine learning in combination with on-line sensors provide new opportunities for optimizing current and developing new water and wastewater treatment processes. Urban water management is changing with an increased demand for recovery of valuable resources, increasing process performance and reliability, and reducing energy input and costs. Developing new processes and optimizing existing systems is relevant for existing centralized systems as well as onsite treatment and recovery systems.
This position complements existing strength in process engineering. We seek candidates who study sensor application, data mining, machine learning, information processing and management, process monitoring, control, and automation for water and wastewater treatment processes. We expect
Applications must be submitted by 15 January 2021 and should include a cover letter, a research statement (2-5 pages) describing your interests and their relevance to this position and – if applicable – potential for stakeholder engagement, a CV as well as a list of publications and the names and contact information for three references.
For further information, please contact Prof. Dr Eberhard Morgenroth.
