Postdoctoral Position at the Chair of Circular Engineering for Architecture

The Chair of Circular Engineering for Architecture (CEA) is seeking a highly motivated and qualified postdoctoral candidate in the field of digital technologies for circular economy in the construction sector. The successful candidate will join a dynamic research team working on innovative approaches to enhance circular construction practices. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of tools and strategies that promote circular management of building components and projects, enabling a more sustainable and regenerative built environment.

Project Background

The postdoctoral position is focused on leveraging digitalization for circular strategies in construction. The selected candidate will be involved in developing and testing tools related to topics such as reality capture, quality assessment, 3D modelling, computer vision, and computational design in the built environment, operating at the intersection of construction informatics, engineering, and logistical aspects.

Responsibilities
  • Development of theoretical concepts for tools leveraging digital technologies for circular construction, facilitating circular processes along the value chain (identification and categorization of reusable materials, design with reused elements, etc.) in the construction sector.
  • Exploration of implementation possibilities for automated workflows and digital technologies in new and existing construction projects.
  • Use immersive technologies to enhance construction processes and training.
  • Active participation in research activities, including publishing scientific papers and presenting findings at conferences and workshops.
  • Supervision of Master and/or Bachelor students, as well as teaching.
Your Profile
  • PhD in architecture, civil engineering with strong IT skills, or computer science with knowledge of the built environment, or related fields.
  • Strong research skills with an understanding of circular economy practices in the construction industry.
  • Proven track record of research in construction or related fields.
  • Knowledge and experience in data analysis and database management, as well as emerging technologies applied to the construction sector, such as BIM, scanning, machine learning, generative AI, and computer vision.
  • Excellent organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritize effectively while also fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
  • Strong communication and writing skills in English, enabling effective collaboration and the preparation of scientific publications and reports.
  • Fluency in spoken and written English is a requirement. Ability to work with industry partners in German is a plus.
  • Ability to work in a team and together with industry partners.
  • Take initiative, be results-oriented, organized, and creative.
We Offer

Joining our research team offers a stimulating and collaborative environment, with a competitive salary and opportunities for professional growth and interaction with international experts in the field of circular construction and computer science. The position is full-time (100%) and is offered on a fixed-term basis. The initial contract duration is 1 year, with a possibility of extension based on funding availability and performance evaluation.
