The Department of Technology and Innovation, Faculty of Engineering at the University of Southern Denmark, invites candidates to apply for a three-year funded PhD position in the CREATE Group (Computational Research in Emergent Architectural Technology). The application deadline is 19 June 2022. The job position is offered to start in September 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Scope of the work
Focusing on computational design and digital fabrication, the successful candidate will carry out research in one or more research focus areas (listed below) and collaborate on projects that involve advanced computational modelling, robotic/digital fabrication, material innovation with applications in the field of architecture, engineering and construction. The successful candidate will work in a high-paced interdisciplinary environment and become part of a fast-growing research team that adopts a design-driven approach. Research activities will be interlinked to the development of a novel educational program in Civil and Architectural Engineering, where the selected candidate will contribute to teaching in the areas of architectural geometry, computational design and digital fabrication.
CREATE Group and Research Environment
CREATE is the group for Computational Research in Emergent Architectural Technology led by Associate Professor Roberto Naboni. The group is based at the Faculty of Engineering (TEK) of the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) in Odense, within the Section for Civil and Architectural Engineering (CAE). Within the high-tech context of SDU, CREATE explores novel architectural ideas and processes at the intersection with the fields of computer science, robotics/digital manufacturing, and materialization processes. The group looks into the fast-evolving landscape of emerging technologies to conceive future-oriented projects and sustainable construction concepts that respond to the challenges of the built environment. The group´s activities are predominantly carried out in the CREATE Lab, a state-of-the-art research facility for large-scale architectural robotics, additive manufacturing, mixed reality design, and construction, and the SDU Industry 4.0 laboratory. The TEK Faculty hosts a rather unique mix of competencies and easy access to facilities for structural and material testing, robotics and drones, rapid prototyping, mechanical and electronics workshops (and many more).
Focus Research Areas
The CREATE Group focuses on experimental and interdisciplinary research enabled by the latest advancements in computational techniques and fabrication technology. Within the overall research framework of the group, the applicant will be ideally developing original research in one or more of the following scholarship areas:
Responsibilities
The successful candidate will proactively participate in developing the CREATE Group's research, teaching and laboratory developments. The responsibilities include:
Qualifications & Skills
Applications are accepted from candidates who hold a master's degree in architecture and building engineering (or related areas), and a proven track record of teaching and delivering computational design and digital fabrication projects.
