PhD position in circular urban resource mapping (a) in Dübendorf

EMPA (European Master of Public Administration Consortium) is a network of European schools, that offer master programs in public administration.

Jobbeschreibung

You will work on developing a computational design method for direct feedback on both embodied and operational impacts of design-decisions concerning the reuse of building materials. Combining tools from computer science and environmental architecture, you will look at optimization methods for finding the perfect fit for waste materials in an urban context, in order to lower waste generation, greenhouse gas emissions, and resource depletion. To do so, you will need to collaborate closely with industry in order to assess the condition of existing building materials using digital, non-destructive assessment tools. You will publish in scientific journals and conferences and present at public events for the general public. 
 
You will analyse the availability and potential of reusable components and underperforming urban spaces.This PhD position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the advancement of regenerative urban development by rethinking City Digital Twins, promoting circular construction practices, and maximizing the potential of underperforming spaces. You will be estimating the stock of reusable building components within buildings and identifying underutilized urban roofs and spaces that can be repurposed. Leveraging community-driven information can possibly allow for more holistic urban resource representation, therefore workflows that incorporate crowd-sourced data for urban space planning and reuse should be explored. Experience or strong interest in manipulation and analysis of geo-spatial data, especially geoAI is required. There topic can also be approached from blockchain technology perspective.
We are seeking a highly motivated and dedicated candidate with a degree in civil and environmental engineering, architecture, computer science or similar. Candidates should have profound and interdisciplinary knowledge in energy, environmental impact, design optimization, and building technology. Programming experience in Python or similar languages are preferred. The candidate should be interested to work closely with industry and research partners in the construction sector. Candidates should have excellent written and spoken language skills in English (and knowing German is a plus). 
 
Requirements: 
  • Master degree in architecture, engineering, urban planning, housing, life cycle assessment, computer science, or related fields; 
  • Strong research skills with experience in circular economy practices and material reuse; 
  • Proficiency in data analysis and database management; 
  • Knowledge of Life Cycle Assessment of buildings; 
  • Knowledge of Machine Learning, scanning technologies, GIS, and Building Information Modeling is preferred; 
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities; 
  • Strong communication and writing skills.
