About the Project
This position (ESR-A) is offered by the PRONTO EID-ITN (European Industrial Doctorate - Initial Training Network). The successful candidate will join AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakow, Poland. The tasks of the post will be Bayesian reasoning analysis of fault occurrences using hybrid data in industrial applications.
Description
The objective of PRONTO (PROcess NeTwork Optimization) is efficient and sustainable operation of Europe’s process industries taking machinery condition and process performance into account.
EID is a funding scheme in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions under Horizon 2020. In EID, each Early Stage Researcher is enrolled in a doctoral (PhD) programme and spends at least 50% of his or her time in the non-academic sector. There is joint supervision of the researchers by supervisors in the academic and non-academic sectors.
The PRONTO EID has eleven partners from industry and academia across Europe. The research program for this post will be carried out at the Department of Automatics and Biomedical Engineering (around twelve months), in AGH University. The person appointed will be sent to the ABB Corporate Research Center, also in Krakow, for fifteen months to carry out significant parts of the research. There will also be a shorter visit of three months to ABB Corporate Research Center in Germany for further development of the methods.
The activity of the post will be developing Bayesian algorithms based on data analytics to detect patterns emerging in event logs and the time series of measurements from process, mechanical and electrical subsystems before the occurrence of faults, disturbances and episodes of abnormal behaviour. This will enable the creation of a historical data base for real-time operator support.
Benefits
This program offers a two and a half year full-time position as researcher with a salary and allowances according to EU regulations for Marie Skłodowska-Curie ITN Early Stage Researchers. ESRs in an EID-ITN also undertake a comprehensive personalised development programme with targeted training measures and participate in a range of network events with the consortium partners.
