Zürich, Zürich, Schweiz ITA - Gramazio Kohler Research Vollzeit

Job Description

  • We are offering two exciting PhD positions to work on innovative design-based research projects related to immersive modeling and the integration of auralization tools into the design process. These full-time positions will last for four years and will be funded according to standard SNSF regulations. Upon successful completion of the program, the two selected candidates will earn the prestigious title of Dr. sc. from ETH Zurich's Department of Architecture (D-ARCH).
  • The chosen candidates will have the unique opportunity to incorporate spatial and acoustic simulation software into their design processes from the initial stages. Their research will involve conducting comparative studies between physical on-site experiences and virtual model-based simulations, with a focus on specific representative spaces, scenarios, and objectives.
  • To be considered for these positions, applicants should possess a solid foundation in digital modeling, excellent communication abilities, proficiency in English, and a strong commitment to working collaboratively within an international team.

Your Profile

  • Profile 1: Acoustic Simulation in Architectural Design
    The ideal candidate for this role should hold a diploma or M.Sc. degree in architecture with a keen interest in architectural acoustics. Proficiency in modeling and scripting tools such as Rhino and Grasshopper is essential, and familiarity with immersive technologies like Unity would be advantageous. This position will be based at Gramazio Kohler Research, ETH Zurich.
  • Profile 2: Spatial Modelization in Sound Arts
    Candidates for this profile should have a diploma or M.Sc. degree in architecture or a related field within sound arts (e.g., electroacoustic composition, sound design, spatial audio). Strong knowledge of architecture, acoustics, and experience with software tools like MaxMSP, IRCAM Spat, Rhino/Grasshopper, as well as proficiency in scripting and programming, are required. This role will be located at the Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology (ICST), ZHdK, with a focus on sound practices in architectural acoustic environments.
