The Department of Technology and Innovation (ITI), Faculty of Engineering (TEK) at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) invites candidates to apply for a 3-year fully-funded PhD position in the Computational Research in Emergent Architectural Technology (CREATE) Group, within the Section for Civil and Architectural Engineering (CAE). The starting date for the position is as soon as possible in 2020, and it will be agreed with the successful candidate. Application deadline is May 5th, 2020.
Scope of the work
Focusing on timber construction, the successful candidate will deliver research and collaborate in innovative projects that involve the areas of computational design, digital and robotic fabrication, as well as materials innovation in the field of architecture. The general aim is to develop novel design solutions, non-standard building systems and advanced manufacturing processes inscribed in the paradigm of Construction 4.0. The research will be based on the design and realization of prototypes, reflecting on the multiple aspects of innovation emerging from the design-build process at different scales. The research will focus both on design and technical innovation, encouraging a multidisciplinary approach, and close collaboration with industrial partners in the sectors of architectural design, construction, and automation.
CREATE Group and Research Environment
CREATE is the group for Computational Research in Emergent Architectural Technology, founded in 2018 by Assistant Professor Roberto Naboni. The group is based at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Southern Denmark (SDU), section for Civil and Architectural Engineering (CAE). CREATE explores novel architectural ideas and processes at the intersection with the fields of computer science, advanced manufacturing, and emergent materials technologies. The group looks into the fast-evolving landscape of emerging technology to develop projects and concepts as answers to today’s challenges, from the effects of climate change to the well-being of urban citizens. Within the high-tech context of SDU, the group undertakes research and teaching activities in the fields of Construction 4.0, Additive Manufacturing (AM), Architectural Robotics, and Mixed Reality. In its physical infrastructure, the CREATE Lab, future scenarios of constructions are studied through a project-driven integrative research approach.
Research Topics
The CREATE Group develops experimental and interdisciplinary research enabled by the latest advancements in computational techniques. Applicants will preferably work on developing research in the following innovation areas:
Responsibilities
The successful candidate will be actively participating in the development of the CREATE Group’s research and education, and have a range of responsibilities including:
Qualifications
This call targets exceptionally talented individuals, who hold a master's degree in architecture or architectural/building engineering, with a documented interest in computational design and digital fabrication. Experience in coding and robotic fabrication is highly recommended. Prior experience in wood construction is preferable. A high level of ambition, involvement, and autonomy is expected. Applications are invited from candidates with a master´s degree (equivalent to a Danish master’s degree).
Contact information
For further information about this position and the CREATE Group’s activity, contact Assistant Professor Roberto Naboni, email: [email protected].
Conditions of employment
Applicants are required to have a master’s degree (equivalent to a Danish master's degree) at the time of enrollment and employment. Employment as a PhD fellow is a 3-year salaried position (start salary amounts to approx. 3.378,- EURO per month incl. supplements).
Employment of a PhD fellow can only happen after the Head of the PhD School has approved the candidate for admission to the PhD school. Employment and enrollment will cease without further notice at the end of the period.
A PhD fellow is not allowed to have any kind of sideline employment, while enrolled as PhD fellow at the faculty.
Employment is governed by the Protocol on PhD Research Fellows signed by the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. Please check links for more information on salary and taxation.
The successful candidate will be enrolled at SDU in accordance with Faculty regulations and the Danish Ministerial Order on the PhD Programme at the Universities (PhD order), read more here.
