Postdoc in AI-augmented Process Control at Aalborg University Aalborg University in Denmark

Postdoc opportunity at Aalborg University in AI-augmented process control, with a focus on advanced process monitoring and control, reinforcement learning, and AI methods for offshore industrial applications.

The position is hosted by AAU Energy in the Department of Energy and is linked to the research group Fluid & Process at the Esbjerg campus. The project targets produced water treatment and oil-in-water sensing and control technologies, with methods to be developed, tested, and demonstrated on a pilot plant at Aalborg University and, later, potentially at industrial partner sites.

This is a 2-year full-time postdoc supported by the EUDP-funded ARROiW project (Advanced Recording for Reduction of Oil-in-Water), in collaboration with Technical University of Denmark, University of Copenhagen, and industrial partners. The postdoc will work in a highly applied, industry-facing environment with real-world validation opportunities.

Eligibility highlights: a PhD in control, automation, or a relevant field is required. Experience in AI-enhanced or integrated process control is strongly preferred. Experimental validation experience is useful, but prior knowledge of offshore industrial processes is not mandatory.

Application window: deadline 2026-04-27. The appointment starts from 01 July 2026 or soon thereafter.

How to apply: submit the application through Aalborg University’s recruitment system on the job advertisement page. Include a motivation letter, CV, diplomas, publication list, and any relevant supporting documents. Up to five publications may be attached for assessment.
