Internship: Building a knowledge platform on Legionella in wastewater

Internship

40 hrs/week

Compensation

Legionella pneumophila outbreaks are often linked to water systems and cooling towers, but wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) with biological systems have emerged as signifi cant hotspots. Standard Legionella risk management strategies are lacking, and the standard detection method (ISO 11731) is unreliable in wastewater due to microbial interference and long incubation times. This internship is part of a national project with knowledge institutions, technology providers, consultants, and wastewater companies to improve Legionella control in WWTPs.

Your internship will focus on creating a website for such online platform/database. You will be a part of the Legionella team that consists of other students and researchers. Moreover, you will collaborate with another student who will be responsible for breaking down the data available in reports.

Your profile

• You are studying ICT on a HBO/MBO level
• You have good communication skills
• You have good organisation and planning skills
• You work well in a team

Your responsibilities

• Building the website that will serve as a knowledge platform based on the available documents
• Interacting with other students and researchers to receive an input for the website.
