Post-Doctoral Fellow in Digital Twin Frameworks for Smart Infrastructure and Built Environment National Institute of Standards and Technology in United States

Post-doctoral fellowship opportunity in Digital Twins, smart infrastructure, and the built environment at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, in collaboration with The George Washington University.

The project focuses on developing an Assessment Framework for Digital Twins that can evaluate the maturity, value, data quality, alignment, and interoperability of vendor-offered digital twin solutions. The work is positioned as an important step toward national standards and procurement/deployment guidelines for cyber-physical systems in smart buildings and infrastructure.

Research themes include framework architecture, procurement standardization, open standards alignment, and strategic roadmapping. The post highlights familiarity with standards and technologies such as IFC, CityGML, and W3C digital twin ontologies, as well as open-source tools and open-data standards for the built environment.

Eligibility: applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Systems/Structural Engineering, Manufacturing, or a related field. The post also asks for demonstrated ability to develop and deploy digital twin applications for buildings, and requires submission of a research proposal with the application.

Location: NIST Campus, Gaithersburg, MD. Funding details are not specified in the post, but the role is advertised as a post-doctoral fellow position.
