Développer des techniques d'intelligence artificielle (IA) pour soutenir le dialogue transdisciplinaire sur la gestion des risques climatiques.

Description de l'emploi

Les changements climatiques, tels que l'élévation du niveau de la mer, l'affaissement des sols, les précipitations extrêmes et la sécheresse, induisent de nouveaux défis et risques pour l'immobilier et les infrastructures, en particulier dans les deltas urbanisés de faible altitude, comme aux Pays-Bas. Alors que les maisons, les communautés et les moyens de subsistance des gens sont en jeu, les risques climatiques liés à l'immobilier risquent également de déstabiliser les marchés et la société dans son ensemble.

Dans ce poste, vous co-concevez et co-développez un Forum intégratif (FI) qui vise à faciliter l'échange et le dialogue transdisciplinaires bidirectionnels sur la gestion des risques climatiques. L'IF, d'une part, offre un «espace souple» de débat et de réflexion entre les équipes de recherche, les partenaires sociétaux et les citoyens au sens large. D'autre part, le dialogue au sein de l'IF offre une opportunité de recherche innovante sur les logiques, tactiques et procédures institutionnalisées qui entravent ou permettent une collaboration interdisciplinaire efficace.

Un aspect innovant de ce poste est l'utilisation de l'intelligence artificielle (IA) pour soutenir le développement de la FI. L'IA, en particulier les techniques de traitement du langage naturel (PNL), peuvent soutenir le SI, par exemple en reconnaissant les valeurs et les normes des parties prenantes, en identifiant les arguments et les perspectives, en identifiant les désaccords, en trouvant de nouveaux points de vue et en modélisant la dynamique des opinions.

Les données pour les techniques d'IA proviennent des enregistrements et des transcriptions (obtenues avec les autorisations appropriées) des réunions du forum, qui seront organisées régulièrement au cours du projet. De plus, lorsqu'elles sont disponibles, nous pouvons utiliser des données discursives en dehors du forum, par exemple, sur les réseaux sociaux et d'information.

Vous aborderez les objectifs de recherche préliminaires suivants, qui seront affinés par vous en collaboration avec votre équipe de supervision.

RO1 : Générer des idées de recherche interdisciplinaires et renforcer la capacité de gouvernance collective par le dialogue, la réflexion et l'apprentissage mutuel facilités au sein du Forum intégratif.

RO2 : Tirer parti de l'IA pour tirer parti des logiques, tactiques et procédures institutionnalisées des parties prenantes afin de faciliter la réflexion et l'apprentissage interconsortiums pour renforcer la capacité de gouvernance collective.

RO3 : Créer des idées institutionnelles et stratégiques généralisables sur la manière de permettre des échanges transdisciplinaires et inter-acteurs productifs dans les deux sens qui renforcent les capacités de gestion intégrée des risques climatiques dans l'environnement bâti.

Ce poste fait partie du Work Package 5 (WP5) de l'initiative de recherche Real Estate Development & Building in Low Urban Environments (RED&BLUE), un nouveau programme majeur financé par le Conseil néerlandais de la recherche. Plus d'informations peuvent être trouvées sur: www.redblueclimate.nl . En plus de vous, WP5 implique un PostDoc, avec qui vous collaborerez étroitement.

En tant que membre de l'équipe RED&BLUE, vous ferez des recherches à fort impact sur un sujet de société urgent pertinent aux Pays-Bas et au-delà. Votre recherche vous permettra de collaborer activement avec d'autres chercheurs et partenaires sociaux, vous offrant des opportunités exceptionnelles de mentorat, de développement personnel et de réseautage. Vous vous appuierez également sur les travaux d'autres chercheurs et sur des cas d'utilisation urbaine réels.

Develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques for supporting transdisciplinary dialogue on climate risk management.

Job description

Climate changes, such as sea level rise, soil subsidence, extreme rainfall, and drought, induce new challenges and risks for real estate and infrastructures, especially in low lying urbanized deltas, as in the Netherlands. While people’s homes, communities, and livelihoods are at stake, real estate climate risks also stand to destabilize markets and society at large.

In this position, you will co-design and co-develop an Integrative Forum (IF) that aims to facilitate two-way transdisciplinary exchange and dialogue on climate risk management. The IF, on the one hand, provides a ‘soft space’ for debate and reflection between research teams, societal partners, and citizens at large. On the other hand, the dialogue in the IF provides an opportunity for innovative research on institutionalized logics, tactics, and procedures that hinder or enable effective cross-disciplinary collaboration.

An innovative aspect of this position is the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for supporting the development of the IF. AI, specifically, natural language processing (NLP), techniques can support the IF by, e.g., recognizing the stakeholders’ values and norms, identifying arguments and perspectives, identifying disagreements, finding novel viewpoints, and modelling opinion dynamics.

The data for AI techniques comes from the recordings and transcripts (obtained with appropriate permissions) of the meetings in the forum, which will be organized regularly during the project. Further, where available, we can employ discursive data outside the forum, e.g., on social and news media.

You will address the following preliminary research objectives, which will be refined by you in cooperation with your supervision team.

RO1: Generate cross-disciplinary research insights and build collective governance capacity through dialogue, reflection, and mutual learning facilitated within the Integrative Forum.

RO2: Leverage AI to draw out stakeholders’ institutionalized logics, tactics and procedures to facilitate cross-consortium reflection and learning to build collective governance capacity.

RO3: Create generalizable institutional and strategic insights about how to enable productive two-way transdisciplinary and cross-actor exchanges which build capacity for integrated climate risk management in the built environment.

This position is part of Work Package 5 (WP5) of the Real Estate Development & Building in Low Urban Environments (RED&BLUE) research initiative, a major new program funded by the Dutch Research Council. More information can be found at: www.redblueclimate.nl. In addition to you, WP5 involves a PostDoc, with whom you will closely collaborate.

As a member of the RED&BLUE team, you will do high-impact research on a pressing societal topic relevant within the Netherlands and beyond. Your research will enable you to actively collaborate with other researchers and societal partners, providing you with exceptional mentorship, personal development, and networking opportunities. You will also build upon the work of other researchers and real-world urban use cases.

Requirements

This is an interdisciplinary position. We are looking for a candidate that may fit into one of the profiles below (or a combination).

• Profile 1: Holds a PhD in an Artificial Intelligence related topic and has experience or keen interest in exploring collaborative climate risk management as an application area of AI techniques. OR.
• Profile 2: Holds a PhD in a topic related to Climate Risk Management (e.g., real estate, spatial governance, planning or related specialisations in geography) and has experience and keen interest in exploring the application of AI techniques for climate risk management.
• Have excellent scientific skills, as demonstrated by peer-reviewed publications, preferably across two or more different scientific disciplines.
• Have a good command of the English language, required for scientific publishing.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to switch between operational and managerial levels within the various disciplines that are part of this research. · Team spirit and an open personality.
• A good command of the Dutch language is a positive point, considering the consortium members and case studies of this research as well as the societal dissemination of your results to Dutch audiences. If the candidate does not speak Dutch, they should be willing to learn Dutch as a priority, and we expect the candidate to reach the Dutch B1/B2 language level within one year.

Conditions of employment

• Depending on you knowledge and experience, a salary based on scale 10 (€ 2.960,- - € 4.670,-) of the Collective Labor Agreement of the Dutch Universities, plus an 8% holiday allowance and an 8.3% end-of-year bonus.
• An excellent pension scheme via the ABP.
• The possibility to compile an individual employment package every year.
• Discount with health insurers.
• Flexible working week.
• Every year, 232 leave hours (at 38 hours). You can also sell or buy additional leave hours via the individual choice budget.
• Plenty of opportunities for education, training and courses.
• Partially paid parental leave.
• Attention for working healthy and energetically with the vitality program.

Challenge: Fast mitigation of active power fluctuations in offshore energy systems.

Change: Effective power control at sub-second level.

Impact: Reliable renewable generation and power-to-X conversion.

Job description

As the energy transformation is taking shape, multi-energy systems pose a serious threat to the stability of our power systems. The volatility of sustainable energy sources like solar and wind, and the unpredictability of user behaviour add to the conundrum. The constant changes in active power exchanges through HVDC and HVAC conversion, generation, and consumption lead to unacceptable voltage and frequency deviations from established limits for technical performance, ultimately causing power grid failures. As a blackout can be caused by changes in just a fraction of a second, revolutionary new, adaptive and fast control technology is crucial to promptly and effectively curb such deviations. As a postdoc at TU Delft you will conduct research into and develop self-learning automated control principles, incorporating a wide range of methods and technologies.

You’ll be working in a multidisciplinary team and with industrial partners, including leading power grid operators. Developing a comprehensive dynamic stability model using automation, multi-variable control methods and other relevant disciplines, you will first simulate and test your models in our state-of-the-art Electrical Sustainable Power Lab. And in close collaboration with your partners, you will translate your models into systems specifications and even experiment in their installations. In addition, you will be organising cocreation workshops and meetings and will report your progress and findings to the stakeholders. You will, of course, publish papers and disseminate your findings and knowledge in relevant communities.

Your research is part of a multi-disciplinary drive towards stable, reliable sustainable energy systems. Which is why you’ll work closely with your colleagues in the Dynamic Stability of Sustainable Electrical Power Systems research group. We are an innovation-driven, multidisciplinary team of early-stage and senior professors, postdocs, PhDs, and MSc researchers with different cultural backgrounds. You will be coaching and mentoring PhD as well as master students. Fostering a synergetic, open-minded, and win-together culture, we regularly interact and share views, unlocking opportunities, forms of incubation, and deployment of knowledge and ground-breaking developments. We also stimulate a healthy and inclusive work environment in which you can bring out the best in yourself. And we value autonomy, professionalism, and a balanced work-life approach.

Requirements

You thrive on conducting independent research, while being part of a team working together on a stable energy grid meeting the demands of the energy transition. To help achieve our goals, you have the flexibility to align your research and are able to collaborate to work towards solutions. You harness your communication and organisation skills, convincing and motivating your partners and your team of PhD candidates to achieve tangible results. You also enjoy interacting with and coaching master students.

You also have:

• A PhD in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems or Power Electronics.
• A demonstrable background in power system stability and control, and in electromagnetic transient modelling and control of power electronic interfaced devices, and an in-depth knowledge of classic and modern control methods.
• A good command of English, because you will be working in an international environment. A command of Dutch would help you communicate with industrial partners and students.

Conditions of employment

Starting with a one-year contract, this role is a three-year assignment.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, a discount on health insurance and sport memberships, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

For international applicants we offer the Coming to Delft Service and Partner Career Advice to assist you with your relocation. An International Children's Centre offers childcare and there is an international primary school.
