MSCA Doctoral Candidate in Intelligent Water Systems
Develop AI-driven solutions for water demand prediction and management in a European doctoral network.
Best for:Best for candidates with a master's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, and experience in artificial intelligence, data analysis, and programming.
Overview
The Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya is recruiting a Doctoral Candidate to work on an intelligent decision support system for water demand prediction within the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network i3WaterS. The successful candidate will be enrolled in a PhD program and work under the supervision of Dr. Javier Vázquez-Salceda. The project aims to develop innovative AI-driven solutions for intelligent, resilient, and sustainable water systems. The candidate will focus on developing artificial intelligence methodologies to improve short-term water demand forecasting in drinking water distribution systems. The position involves collecting and analyzing data, designing semantic models, and integrating data-driven and knowledge-based AI techniques into an intelligent decision support system. The candidate will also participate in a training program that includes international mobility and industrial secondments.
