Procesregisseur en Kwartiermaker OOV

Bouw mee aan een veiliger Nieuwegein.
Wil jij impact maken op complexe veiligheidsvraagstukken én bijdragen aan de verdere ontwikkeling van de organisatie? Dan is dit een unieke tijdelijke opdracht voor één persoon of twee personen.
Binnen team Openbare Orde en Veiligheid , waar het Programmateam Preventie met Gezag een thuisbasis heeft, combineren we twee belangrijke opdrachten in één functie. Eerst neem je gedurende acht tot 10 weken de rol van Procesregisseur Persoonsgerichte Aanpak Jonge Aanwas en Doorgroeiers voor het programma Preventie met Gezag op je. Daarna zet je jouw kennis en ervaring in als Kwartiermaker OOV-uitvoering. Zo krijg je de kans om zowel op casusniveau als op team- en organisatieniveau het verschil te maken.
Ook als je niet beide opdrachten wilt/kunt uitvoeren maar interesse hebt in opdracht 1 of opdracht 2 dan nodigen we je uit te reageren.

Wat ga je doen?
Opdracht 1: Procesregisseur PGA Jonge Aanwas en Doorgroeiers (start 1 oktober-1 december)
Je voert regie op complexe casussen van jongeren die dreigen af te glijden richting georganiseerde criminaliteit. Je:

• coördineert multidisciplinaire casus overleggen;
• verbindt zorg-, veiligheids- en strafrechtpartners;
• bewaakt de voortgang van interventies;
• signaleert knelpunten en organiseert oplossingen;
• draagt bij aan de doorontwikkeling van de persoonsgerichte aanpak.

Opdracht 2: Kwartiermaker OOV-uitvoering (start 1 december- 1 juni 2027)
Je richt je op de verdere professionalisering van het team OOV-uitvoering. Je:

• ontwikkelt en verbetert werkprocessen;
• versterkt samenwerking binnen het domein Zorg en Veiligheid;
• ondersteunt teamontwikkeling;
• adviseert over de inrichting van casus- en procesregie.

Opdracht 3: Procesregisseur PGA én Kwartiermaker OOV
Beide opdrachten kunnen ook door dezelfde persoon worden opgepakt. We hebben hier zelfs ook voorkeur voor. De opdrachten volgen elkaar in tijd na op. De ervaringen opgedaan in de eerste opdracht kunnen goed helpen bij het oppakken van de tweede opdracht. Bovendien is het voor de productiviteit handig als iemand al ingewerkt is en de organisatie goed heeft leren kennen.

PhD Position Adaptive Optimization and Control of Offshore Energy Systems

Job description
The Netherlands targets using only sustainable energy by 2050, yet 161 offshore oil and gas facilities are still active. Integrating renewables into their daily operation during phase-out can reduce environmental impact but introduces additional uncertainty, requiring costly and time-consuming implementation of new controllers as existing infrastructure is already equipped with functioning control structures. The central question now is: How can we enable practical implementation of optimization-based control in offshore energy systems with integrated renewables by building on existing control infrastructure?

Control systems in energy-intensive industries are designed to meet three goals: satisfy demand, ensure quality, and maintain safety. The ability to meet the goals combined with simplicity of implementation have been decisive factors when developing classic control systems, with environmental impact treated as an afterthought. Data-based controllers use advanced optimization algorithms to achieve these goals and meet environmental constraints. However, the complex mathematics involved makes them far from straightforward to implement in real-world infrastructure. This project aims to propose new adaptation methods for operating offshore facilities by merging online data-driven modelling to capture degradation of equipment over time with optimization-based methods to facilitate the transition to energy neutrality.

The PhD would join the group of Dr Marta Zagorowska at Delft Center for Systems and Control (DCSC) and work together with other researchers in the area of advanced process control systems.

Teaching activities are part of your PhD trajectory and may include, for example: supervising workgroups or lab sessions, assisting in courses, or mentoring BSc and MSc students. While teaching will not be your main responsibility, it offers valuable experience that supports your development and prepares you for future academic or professional roles. Teaching activities will not exceed 20% of your total appointment, averaged over the course of your PhD.

Job requirements
The ideal candidate will be an ambitious, proactive, reflective, and results-driven researcher. We are looking for the following:

• MSc degree in Systems and Control, Chemical Engineering or similar field (essential).
• Prior experience with optimization algorithms (essential).
• Prior experience with process modelling and control (desirable).
• Prior experience with offshore energy (desirable).
• Strong collaboration, communication and writing skills.

Postdoc in Feedback Effects of Offshore Wind Turbines on the Environment

Job description

Offshore wind energy is expanding rapidly, with larger turbines, higher power densities, reduced spacing between wind farms, and deployment in deeper waters. These developments intensify interactions between offshore wind farms and the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL), with potential impacts extending into the atmosphere above and the upper ocean below. While many studies focus on how atmospheric and oceanic conditions affect turbine performance and power production, significantly less is known about how large offshore wind farms modify atmospheric and oceanic processes themselves.

In this project, you will investigate whether and how large offshore wind farms influence precipitation. Using high-resolution numerical modeling, you will examine the physical mechanisms through which wind-farm-induced changes in the atmospheric flow and boundary-layer structure can affect precipitation. Targeted simulations with and without wind-farm effects will be used to quantify these responses and determine under which meteorological conditions they are most pronounced.

Available observations will be used to identify relevant cases and evaluate the simulations. Simulations may include realistic cases to investigate potential wind-farm effects on observed precipitation, complemented by idealized experiments to isolate and better understand the underlying physical mechanisms.

You will play a leading role in designing and carrying out the numerical experiments, analyzing model results, and interpreting the physical mechanisms linking offshore wind farms to precipitation. The position offers substantial freedom to shape the scientific direction of the research within this focus, in close collaboration with an interdisciplinary team of scientists.

Job requirements

• PhD degree in Earth sciences, physics, applied mathematics, engineering, computer science or related discipline.
• Strong skills in fluid mechanics and numerical modelling.
• Experience with large observational data sets of environmental variables.
• Experience with Matlab, Python...
• A demonstrable interest in atmospheric physics and offshore wind turbines.
• Good organizational skills and ability to work independently.
• Good command of written and spoken English.
• Experience with peer-reviewed scientific publishing will be appreciated.
