Postdoc on Digital Twin-oriented Virtual Research Environments and Infrastructure Services

**Faculteit/Dienst**:Faculteit der Natuurw., Wiskunde & Informatica**Opleidingsniveau**:Master**Functie type**:Wetenschappelijk Personeel**Sluitingsdatum**:18 september 2024**Vacaturenummer**:11507- One of the grand challenges in ecology is to understand and predict how ecosystems are impacted by changes in environmental conditions, and external pressures. Predicting how complex ecosystems will behave under different scenarios requires combining empirical and observational data. To truly predict how ecosystems and landscapes will respond to current and future global change, we need to increase the availability of existing environmental long-term datasets, integrate disparate types of ecological data, and create a user-friendly and secure cloud-based digital modelling and simulation platform that can be used to link data to models and scenarios. This can be done by creating Digital Twins of entire ecosystems.-
**What are you going to do?**- The researchers will focus on the software challenges in developing digital twins for large-scale ecosystems, and aim to deliver reusable software tools and platforms for facilitating the construction of digital twins.**Tasks and responsibilities**- interview the (potential) users of the LTER-LIFE and digital twins, and analyse technical requirements for constructing ecology domain-specific digital twins;
- review the state-of-the-art and technical gaps for developing digital twin;
- design the system architecture of digital twin-oriented virtual research environment;
- provide effective infrastructure services for sharing, discovering, accessing and integrating digital twin-related components, tools, models, and data;
- develop software integration solutions and required core algorithms for constructing digital twins together with the data specialists, modelers, and end users;
- develop reusable software framework towards a digital twin-enabled cloud virtual research environment which can be used by the domain specialists to develop new digital twins;
- collaborate with the researchers and developers from other domains and collect feedback from (potential) users to validate and improve the developed software system.

**What do you have to offer?**Your experience and profile**
Specifically, we are interested in people with:
- expertise in cloud computing, distributed and parallel computing, distributed workflow management;
- be experienced in programming (using Java, Python or other languages), and in developing web development (e.g., RESTful services);
- be experienced in technologies in DevOps, e.g., git, dockerization and CI/CD;
- be familiar with AI (machine learning), big data, and data management techniques;
- excellent communication skills in speaking and writing;
- is willing to learn new methods, standards and technologies when needed by the project.
- It is a preference if you additionally have experience in performing interdisciplinary research together with another scientific specialty, e.g., biodiversity, environmental and earth sciences, or life sciences.**Our offer**
- We offer a temporary employment contract for 38 hours per week for a period of 12 months. The preferred starting date is as soon as possible. If we assess your performance positive, your contract could be extended with 18 to 24 months (depending on available funding).-
- Besides the salary and a vibrant and challenging environment at Science Park we offer you multiple fringe benefits:
- 232 holiday hours per year (based on fulltime) and extra holidays between Christmas and 1 January;
- Multiple courses to follow from our Teaching and Learning Centre;
- Multiple courses on topics such as leadership for academic staff;
- Multiple courses on topics such as time management, handling stress and an online learning platform with 100+ different courses;
- 7 weeks birth leave (partner leave) with 100% salary;
- Partly paid parental leave;
- The possibility to set up a workplace at home;
- A pension at ABP for which UvA pays two third part of the contribution;
- The possibility to follow courses to learn Dutch;
- Help with housing for a studio or small apartment when you’re moving from abroad.
