2022-224-04503 Post doc on Systems Risk Modeling

In the research group on Risk, Resilience, Safety and Sustainability of Systems in the Department of the Built Environment at the Faculty of Engineering and Science a position as Postdoc in Systems Risk Modeling is open for appointment from May 1, 2022 or soon thereafter. The position is available in Aalborg for a period of 2 years. The Department of the Built Environment focuses on the technical and scientific disciplines within the built environment. Research areas span from Indoor Environment and Energy Efficient buildings, Wind Turbines, Structural Design, Structural Materials, Geotechnical Engineering, Wave Energy to Traffic along with many other areas. The research is conducted in a national as well as an international research environment. The department takes on contract research for both public institutions and private companies. The research projects involve both theoretical research and in situ measurements along with laboratory experiments. As an employee at the Department of the Built Environment, you become a part of an international research environment, where focus is on innovation, knowledge sharing and interdisciplinary collaborations.

The research focus of the Post Doc position is in the area of advanced Bayesian probabilistic modeling of structural performances and risk informed integrity management. We are presently taking part in several ongoing research and development projects addressing integrity management of structures. In this context, with the objective to minimize service life costs, extend service lives and detect damages before they become critical, we want to explore the potentials of combining risk based inspection planning (RBI), Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), probabilistic Digital Twins (DT), recent developments in Big Data technologies and highly efficient reliability analysis techniques.

Application areas include, but are not limited to; offshore wind turbine structures and parks, roadway traffic infrastructure systems and energy distribution systems.

Limited teaching within the area can be expected, especially within the educational program of Risk and Safety Management
