Doctoral student in digital solutions for sustainable building technology
3 weeks ago
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: 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 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
- analyze and work with complex issues
The applicant is expected to have a master's degree in Civil or Architectural Engineering with a 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.
