Assistant Professor in Informatics for Urban Design and Management (2024-224-06038)

At Technical Faculty of IT and Design, Department of Sustainability and Planning, in Aalborg, a position as Assistant Professor in Informatics for Urban Design and Management is open for appointment from 01.01.2025 until 31.12.2027 or soon hereafter. At Department of Sustainability and Planning, we have about 200 employees situated at the Aalborg and Copenhagen campus. The department provides high-quality research and teaching in the field of planning, technology and society in order to create a more sustainable future. We are interdisciplinary in the technical, natural and social science disciplines and present a unique combination of social and technological understanding where digital and technological solutions merge with the needs of society.

Job Description
Research areas will be within advanced knowledge management and informatics, project management, and Nature Based Solutions. The research should aim at bridging the gap between design and construction in urban sustainability projects. This implies a research perspective combining digital mock-ups and design models as well as construction of real-world solutions in a professional interdisciplinary context involving end-users and local stakeholders. Candidates are expected to have a PhD in civil engineering, surveying or environmental science, or related fields, and to have a solid understanding of the architectural, engineering and construction industry, collaboration processes, and the use of information and communication technologies. The Assistant Professor is expected to contribute to interdisciplinary and applied research on how to design using digital tools and novel technologies, like digital twins and generative AI. Experience with 3D Building Information Models (BIM) and Computer Aided Design (CAD) will be highly valued. Insight into Nature Based Solutions and climate adaptation will be considered a strength, as the research empirically engages with development processes and implementation of solutions within this specific urban context. In this regard, research experiences relating to urban planning and governance will be beneficial. Research experience evidenced by authorship in scientific publications as well as proven experience of project application and fundraising will be highly valued.

Teaching will primarily be in the bachelor programme in Urban, Energy and Environmental Planning (in Danish) and the master’s programme in Urban Planning and Management as well as in Cities and Sustainability (both in English), but also in other study programmes at the University.

Qualification Requirements:
Appointment as an Assistant Professor presupposes scientific qualifications at PhD–level or similar scientific qualifications. The research potential of each applicant will be emphasized in the overall assessment.

Appointment as an Assistant Professor cannot exceed a period of four years in total in a temporary position (appointment at Assistant Professor level cannot exceed a period of eight years in total in Denmark).

The application must contain the following:

  • A statement outlining your reasons for applying, and intentions and visions with, the position.
  • Your curriculum vitae, including personal data, educational background, scientific qualifications, dissemination skills, participation in committees and boards, and additional qualifications relevant for the position.
  • Copies of relevant diplomas (Master of Science and PhD). On request you could be asked for an official English translation.
  • A complete list of publications.
  • Publications you wish to be considered by the assessment committee. You may attach up to 5 publications.
  • A specification of your teaching qualifications relative to the teaching portfolio. If this is not enclosed you must include an explanation for its absence.
  • References/recommendations.

Shortlisting will be applied. After the review of any objections regarding the assessment committee, the head of department, with assistance from the chair of the assessment committee, selects the candidates to be assessed. All applicants will be informed as to whether they will advance to assessment or not.

The applications are only to be submitted online by using the "Apply online" button below.

AAU wishes to reflect the diversity of society and welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background or belief.
