About this position
The George Washington University, in collaboration with the NIST Professional Research Experience Program (PREP), is seeking a Post-Doctoral Fellow to lead pioneering research in the development of a foundational framework for Digital Twins in the built environment. This opportunity is based at the NIST Engineering Laboratory in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and focuses on bridging the gap between virtual models and the physical performance of buildings. The research aims to create standardized frameworks to assess, evaluate, and verify Digital Twins, ensuring their reliability, interoperability, and scalability for the construction and energy sectors.
Key responsibilities include developing a foundational framework and taxonomy for Digital Twins in buildings, creating metrics and methodologies to evaluate the fidelity and performance of Digital Twin models, and collaborating with NIST researchers to integrate Digital Twins with Building Automation Systems (BAS) and IoT sensors. The successful candidate will also be expected to publish original research in high-impact journals and present at major international conferences, aligning their work with emerging industry standards and public policy for community resilience.
Applicants should possess a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field, with deep expertise in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Building Information Modeling (BIM), and Digital Twin architecture. Proficiency in data modeling, simulation, and systems verification is required, along with excellent technical writing skills and the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams. Eligibility for a Department of Commerce background check is mandatory.
This is a premier opportunity for postdoctoral researchers passionate about the future of smart buildings, cyber-physical systems, and digital transformation in infrastructure. The position is funded through the NIST PREP program, though specific financial details are not provided in the announcement. Interested candidates should apply via the provided link and ensure they meet all eligibility requirements.
