Work that matters In this role, you will lead the next stage of Adelaide University’s Smart Stormwater Systems journey. You will help deliver a real-world demonstration site that turns award-recognised research into practice. The site will show how distributed storages, smart design and real-time control can reduce urban flood peaks, adapt to climate change and avoid costly and disruptive pipe upgrades. It can also unlock co-benefits like water harvesting for greener, cooler suburbs and improved water quality. Working with an interdisciplinary team including committed local government funding partners, you’ll shape the vision, coordinate design and delivery, and translate data, models and on-ground monitoring into practical outcomes. The aim is to demonstrate this can be scaled and adopted across cities—helping communities adapt to climate change while creating infrastructure that is smarter and more resilient. The team The Smart Stormwater Systems team is led by Associate Professor Mark Thyer and Professor Holger Maier (Adelaide University), who bring complementary strengths across modern civil and environmental engineering. Mark Thyer is an international recognised expert in hydrology and water resources with 20+ years’ experience in flood and drought risk, climate variability and forecasting/uncertainty. Holger Maier is internationally recognised for developing and applying AI/machine learning, optimisation (notably evolutionary algorithms), and decision-support methods for complex water and infrastructure systems operating under uncertainty, and he has received major recognition for both research excellence and engineering education leadership, including international modelling and simulation awards and senior editorial/service roles in the field. Together, they lead an interdisciplinary group with a strong track record of funded, high-impact research and close collaboration with industry and government partners. Mark and Holger are part of the School of Civil Engineering and Construction Management, which is ranked in Top 100 worldwide for Civil and Structural Engineering, while Adelaide University has a lifetime ranking of #1 in Australia for Water Resources, and #8 Globally. The School sits within the College of Engineering and Information Technology, which brings together expertise across aviation, computer science, construction management, and the full spectrum of 21st-century engineering disciplines including civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, environmental, and biomedical engineering.
