Doctoral student in digital solutions for sustainable building technology
1 week ago
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: Sustainable buildings
The Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering wishes to hire a PhD student for a research project on how reuse can be implemented and optimized to balance economic and environmental benefits. The project is interdisciplinary and has a connection to previous and ongoing research at the School of Architecture and the Built Environment. As a doctoral student, you will collaborate both with researchers from different departments at KTH and have contacts with construction and real estate actors in Sweden.
We will explore how digital workflows can support different stakeholders in decisions regarding the reuse of building materials and components. This includes processes for material inventory and quality assurance as well as effective methods for analyzing how reuse in different situations can affect costs, use of virgin material resources and carbon dioxide emissions. An important aspect is to examine different stakeholders' information needs, driving forces and business models to understand how they can effectively participate in the reuse process and which digital user interfaces can be used to collect, share and communicate information for reuse in practice.
Supervision: The doctoral student will be placed at the Royal Institute of Technology and is proposed to be supervised by Associate Professor Kjartan Gudmundsson and Associate Professor Malena Havenvid.
Admission requirementsTo 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 order to succeed as a doctoral student at KTH you need to be goal oriented and persevering in your work. During the selection process, candidates will be assessed upon their ability to:
- independently pursue his or her work
- collaborate with others
- have a professional approach
- analyze and work with complex issues
The applicant is expected to have a master's degree in Civil or Architectural Engineering with focus on building technology. The applicant is also expected to have a strong background in Building Information Modelling and experience with C#/Python programming or visual programming for BIM. A relevant master's thesis work is a merit.
After the qualification requirements, great emphasis will be placed on personal skills.
Information regarding admission and employmentOnly 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. A new position as a doctoral student is for a maximum of one year, and then the employment may be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time.
Application processApply for the position and admission through KTH's recruitment system. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the application is complete in accordance with the instructions in the advertisement.
Applications must be received by the last closing date at midnight, CET/CEST (Central European Time/Central European Summer Time) and 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, about what your academic interests are and how they relate to your previous studies and future goals. (Maximum 2 pages long)
- 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.
- Representative publications or technical reports. For longer documents, please provide a summary (abstract) and a web link to the full text.
Striving towards gender equality, diversity and equal conditions is both a question of quality for KTH and a given part of our values.
It may be the case that a position at KTH is classified as a security-sensitive role in accordance with the Protective Security Act (2018:585). If this applies to the specific position, a security clearance will be conducted for the applicant in accordance with the same law with the applicant's consent. In such cases, a prerequisite for employment is that the applicant is approved following the security clearance.
