Job/Position Description-

Opening for a post-doc position to work on digital twin for pipeline flow

As part of the project, we setup a digital twin for a pipeline network using a network of IoT sensors, the data collected from the sensors would be used to train an intelligent data-driven model to predict, in advance or real-time, the occurrence and location of leaks in the pipeline network.

The candidate needs to integrate the sensors’ data into advanced analytical models (machine learning) to predict the leakages.

As a data-driven model mimics a physical process, affinity towards modelling of flow in pipeline network would be a plus.
The applicant needs to be strong in programming, preferably Python, R, or C++
Work would also involve interacting with the vendor’s tech team to maintain sensors on a physical pipeline network.
To carry out a study to improve our understanding of leak predictions in pipelines and develop physics-based models.

The remuneration for the position is 47,000 + HRA

How to Apply-

Those interested are encouraged to submit their bio-data and a cover letter by email to parthar@iisc.ac.in with the subject “Application for the Postdoc Position for the DPTrans project”.

Selection Method: Candidates will be shortlisted based on Bio-Data evaluation, followed by an online MS-teams based interview for final selection.

The initial appointment of the selected candidates will be for three months, which will be extended for the rest of the project duration upon satisfactory performance.

The last date of receipt of the application is 31-01-2022. In case of insufficient response, applications received later will also be considered.
