Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join our team at DTU Construct, Section of Digital Building Technologies. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing new methods to model the growth, evolution, and genes of buildings.

About the Job

The Postdoc will work with multi-disciplinary models of university campus buildings to identify an appropriate pseudo biological modeling paradigm for buildings. This involves analyzing existing and preexisting buildings to understand their growth stages, including the integration of different building systems, and identifying 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, the Postdoc will contribute to relevant teaching activities, support the development of future research funding, and lead a track in the first international symposium planned for 2026. They will also identify and develop global connections with other relevant labs and manage an open-source repository for the experimental data.
