Postdoctoral Researcher in Hospital Energy Systems and Infrastructure Resilience

This postdoctoral position focuses on energy optimization and resilience of hospital infrastructure. The researcher will model hospital HVAC, heating, cooling, and backup systems, analyze dependencies on energy and healthcare supply chains, and quantify energy performance, environmental impacts, and service continuity during climate-related disruptions. Using dynamic energy simulation, risk assessment, LCA, and EPD data, the role involves developing advanced control and decision-support methods, potentially including AI, to enhance efficiency, flexibility, and operational resilience. Validation will emphasize realistic operating constraints and collaboration with healthcare stakeholders. The position includes 20% teaching or departmental duties.
