Discover our Environmental Research and Innovation department: ERIN Department
As part of a Research and Technology Organization (RTO), the work of the
Environmental Research and Innovation (ERIN) Department tackles some of the
major environmental challenges our society is facing today, such as climate
change mitigation, ecosystem resilience, sustainable energy systems, the
efficient use of renewable resources, and environmental pollution prevention
and control. You will join the Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology
research group, which among others develops new monitoring tools for the
surveillance of the microbial safety of water resources.
How will you contribute?
You will participate in currently running projects of the research group. The
SUPERVIR project aims to implement a national platform for the surveillance of
viral pathogens in wastewater for early warning of human viral epidemics. You
will be involved in the dashboarding task to develop a user-friendly
informatics tool for data sharing and communication. The KNOWOURWATER project
is a collaborative project between Luxembourg and Quebec, and it aims at
integrating novel/untapped datasets and knowledge sources on the microbial
pollution (fecal contaminants and cyanobacteria blooms) of surface waters
using machine learning and Bayesian networks to improve models of water
resources vulnerability to microbial contaminants.
You will be more particularly responsible for the following tasks:
Aggregation of datasets collected at multiple spatial and temporal scales
Production of weekly reports on water quality and cyanobacteria based on
data collection made by the group
Develop data treatment pipelines and automatic generation of graphs
Apply machine learning and Bayesian network modelling tools in close
collaboration with project team members
Investigate the environmental and the spatio-temporal drivers of microbial
contaminants in wastewater and surface waters.
Actively contribute to project valorisation, including publication writing
and participation in international conferences
Review content of life-long learning course material on water surveillance
and wastewater-based epidemiology
You will work in a highly multi-disciplinary environment with specialists in
microbiology, molecular biology, water science, biostatistics and
bioinformatics. You must demonstrate an ability to work on different projects
in parallel, with a special attention to details and contribute to the
development of an interdisciplinary team approach through strong interactions
with national and international project team members. You will exclusively
work at the office using field and laboratory data collected by other members
of the group.
