Postdoc in Building Development, Evolution and Genetics
1 week ago
A researcher at the turn of the last century was trying to find a standardized animal model for their experiments. A fly landed at their desk; they were initially frustrated by the interruption but later realized that the common fly was exactly what they had been looking for.
We have identified a similar situation when trying to design better, more sustainable buildings. We currently don't know how to make the most sustainable buildings in the world. In this search for new knowledge, the vast untapped data in existing buildings that we can use to learn how to design better, more sustainable buildings, is often overlooked.
We therefore need a scientific method for the high throughput analysis of existing and proposed buildings.
To address this, Villum Experiment asks:
- If a biologist had never seen a building before? How would they think it had grown and evolved? Would they even think it might have genes? If so, how would they find them?
We seek a full-time Postdoc to develop new methods to model the growth, evolution, and genes of buildings. You will work with multi-disciplinary models of university campus buildings to identify:
- An appropriate pseudo biological modelling paradigm for buildings (a standard building model)
- The growth stages of a building (including the integration of the different building systems) analogous to biological growth processes
- The evolution of a specific building typology by analyzing existing and preexisting buildings.
- Focusing on the interactions and dependencies of a specific building system to identify candidate 'genes' for buildings that could be used to support the design and analysis of better, more sustainable buildings in the future.
In addition to the above tasks, you will be expected to:
- Contribute to relevant teaching activities where appropriate and aligned to the outcomes of this Villum Experiment. The intention is to use the students to test, feedback, and further develop the methodologies developed in the experiment.
- Support the development of future research funding to develop a building development, evolution, and genetics lab.
- Support the development of a new research field of building development, evolution, and genetics including leading a track in the first international symposium planned for 2026.
- Identify and develop global connections with other relevant labs.
- Manage an open-source repository for the experimental data.
Responsibilities and qualifications
We have not met you yet, so we don't know exactly what skills you have, but we imagine you would have some of the following. We are aware that it is unlikely that you will have all of these, but we hope you will have at least three.
- Computational Design Skills (Buildings, products, games, etc.)
- Experience in modelling of buildings (any discipline)
- Experience in modelling in biology (i.e. SBML)
- Scientific experimental skills that could be applied to tasks above.
- Other kinds of modelling where you can see that you could directly support this work is required.
- Experience in teaching.
- Experience with STEM +/ design communication.
Working with us at DTU Construct in the Section of Digital Building Technologies, your work will contribute to the scientific analysis of existing buildings to support the design of better, more sustainable future buildings.
As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).
We offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation, and scientific advice.
