Doctoral student in Architecture: Adaptive Reuse and Repair
2 weeks 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: Architecture
Through artistic research, this PhD position addresses the need for new sustainable ways of reuse and repair in architecture. Through digital techniques for visualization, documentation, and fabrication, the aim is to develop sensitive methods that attend to material, cultural, and historical values in the built environment. The aim of the project is to advance methods for imagining how the already existing holds radical sustainable futures.
In response to current environmental and socio-political concerns, and with a critical awareness that techniques for digitalization simultaneously preserve and control, as well as construct and rewrite knowledge, 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. Decisions are made on admission.
- A postgraduate education at an institution that is active and supportive in matters pertaining to working conditions, gender equality and diversity as well as study environment.
- Work and study in Stockholm, close to nature and the water.
- Work in an internationally established research environment in architectural spatial analysis.
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.
SelectionIn 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
