Doctoral student in Architecture: Adaptive Reuse and Repair

Since its founding in 1827, KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm has grown to become one of Europe's leading technical and engineering universities.

Six doctoral positions are being advertised simultaneously within the School of Architecture and the Built Environment's focus on digitalization and sustainability.

Third-cycle subject: Architecture

Through artistic research, this PhD position addresses the need for new sustainable ways of reuse and repair in architecture. The aim is to develop sensitive methods that attend to material, cultural, and historical values in the built environment.

In response to current environmental and socio-political concerns, this project engages in a cross-disciplinary overlap of methods to make intertwined relationships and multi-layered aspects visible. Further, it examines how we imagine, understand, make, and maintain our built environment.

Supervision: Thordis Arrhenius, Ulrika Karlsson and Adam Wickberg are proposed to supervise the doctoral student.

Admission requirements

To be admitted to postgraduate education (Chapter 7, 39 § Swedish Higher Education Ordinance), the applicant must have basic eligibility in accordance with either of the following:

  • passed a second cycle degree (for example a master's degree), or
  • completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 second-cycle higher education credits, or
  • acquired, in some other way within or outside the country, substantially equivalent knowledge.

In addition to the above, there is also a mandatory requirement for English equivalent to English B/6.

Selection

In order to succeed as a doctoral student at KTH you need to be goal oriented and persevering in your work. Candidates will be assessed upon their ability to:

  • independently pursue his or her work
  • collaborate with others
  • have a professional approach
  • analyse and work with complex issues
  • architecturally address issues of sustainability and reuse
  • work and develop digital methods for architectural representation

After the qualification requirements, great emphasis will be placed on personal skills.

Information regarding admission and employment

Only those admitted to postgraduate education may be employed as a doctoral student. The total length of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education in four years' time. An employed doctoral student can, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), perform certain tasks within their role, e.g., training and administration.

Applications must be received at the last closing date at midnight, CET/CEST (Central European Time/Central European Summer Time). Applications must include the following elements:

  • CV including your relevant professional experience and knowledge.
  • Application letter with a brief description of why you want to pursue research studies, your academic interests and how they relate to your previous studies and future goals. (Max 2 pages long).
  • Appendix with (1) a proposed direction of research, (2) its relation to the profile Architecture: Adaptive Reuse and Repair, and (3) to architecture, digital tools for documentation and fabrication, and to methods for imagining the already built.
  • Copies of diplomas and grades from previous university studies and certificates of fulfilled language requirements. Translations into English or Swedish if the original document is not issued in one of these languages. Copies of originals must be certified.
  • A maximum of three publications, or two publications + portfolio, is accepted.
