PhD Research Position in Environmental Engineering
Description : Eawag is the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, a Swiss-based and internationally active research institute within the ETH Domain, committed to an ecological, economical, and socially responsible management of water.
The Department of Urban Water Management has a vacancy for a
PhD Research Position in Environmental Engineering
The doctoral thesis is part of the transdisciplinary project “Sustainable Water Infrastructure Planning” funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. The successful candidate will be part of a team of 3 PhD students that will develop a novel integrated, participatory planning procedure for municipal water infrastructures. The project focuses on dealing with limited data, the uncertainty of future developments, and ensuring high acceptance of the decision-making process by stakeholders.
The project combines engineering with decision sciences. The focus of this specific doctoral thesis is to develop quantitative models to predict the long term development of condition and performance of the wastewater infrastructure. Special attention is given to the prevailing imperfection of data in practice and to the consequences of an uncertain future. The models will be applied to running real world planning processes in Switzerland and will be used as a base for the decision making process.
The candidate for this position is expected to hold a MS degree in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Sciences, or similar. He or she should have some experience or a pronounced interest in modelling and mathematical applications. Fluency in German is an important asset, as an essential part of the project implicates collaboration with municipalities and utilities in Switzerland. Additionally, we require the skills and willingness to work in an interdisciplinary team.
The position starts as soon as possible for a project duration of three years. PhD enrolment will be at ETH Zürich. For further information, please consult www.eawag.ch, www.nfp61.ch, or contact Dr. Max Maurer, Phone: +41 44 823 5386, Email max.maurer@eawag.ch.
