Spreading Sensors in Sewers for Sustainable Management". The project 4SM belongs to the call R+D+i projects in strategic lines in public-private collaboration. Topic 21: Predictive maintenance of infrastructures through intelligent systems. Project PLEC2021-007794 (4SM) funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and the European Union NextGenerationEU/ PRTR.The main goal of 4SM is to create a new set of sensors and tools for advanced and sustainable management of sewage systems. 4SM addresses four of the most important challenges for optimal sewerage management, such as:Promoting the digitalization process of sewerage networksImproving the capabilities of current monitoring toolsExploring resource recovery and sewer energyDeveloping highly innovative methods for corrosion, toxicity, and odour control4SM contributes to maximizing the functioning of urban water systems in relation to:Reducing environmental impactWarning against the risk of floodingThe resilience of infrastructures to climate changeEfficient use of resourcesLong-term management of infrastructure capital assetsKEY DUTIESThe position involves executing complex technical activities of the project, including the preparation and development of hydraulic simulation models for sewer and urban drainage networks. The candidate will primarily perform mathematical modeling of sanitation systems and will also participate in field experimental activities, installation of experimental prototypes, and sampling campaigns in sewer networks. The candidate must be available to communicate with local and foreign operators (English is used as the communication language) and must be able to travel to the project's demonstration sites.#J-18808-Ljbffr
