Timber Value Chain Expert

14 hours ago

Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Det Kongelige Akademi Full time

The Royal Danish Academy – Architecture, Design, Conservation invites applications for a 3-year, full-time position as assistant professor with a particular focus on integrating the timber value chain with novel structural logics.

We are seeking an experienced professional to join our team and contribute to the development of cutting-edge knowledge in the field. As an assistant professor, you will be responsible for delivering results, presenting knowledge, and contributing innovative thinking in the area.

With a focus on process and method, and the inclusion of the latest knowledge and technology, you are expected to be able to contribute to the strengthening of the subject area of timber value chain with novel structural logics, supplementing our research and teaching competencies in the field and reinforcing our networks and collaborations, both nationally and internationally.

About the Position

The vacant assistant professorship is affiliated with the Institute of Architecture and Technology. We hope to fill the position as soon as possible.

The position consists of research and/or artistic research, teaching, and administrative duties. Your duties will include:

  • Teaching, curriculum planning, and the associated administration related to the Royal Danish Academy's programmes and interdisciplinary teaching, including teaching at Masters level at "Arkitekturens Teknologi" (AT) and "Architecture and Extreme environments" (AEE).
  • Supervision, module content development, examinations, and external examiner duties.
  • Research and/or artistic research in the focus area of the position, in collaboration with relevant external institutions, enterprises, and networks nationally and internationally, as well as with the other R&D areas at the Institute and the Royal Danish Academy as a whole.
  • Visionary and productive teamwork when planning future R&D projects, including actively participating in applying for external funding and fund-raising for the Institute's activities.
  • Participation in various Royal Danish Academy committees and, potentially, in collegiate bodies.

In addition, you will be expected to participate in interdisciplinary teaching and research collaborations with the Royal Danish Academy's other institutes and staff, including contributing to the content and development of interdisciplinary joint teaching at the Royal Danish Academy, as well as other tasks as required.

Your research will be integrated with the Kagome Architectures project, a new research project funded by the Carlsberg Foundation under a 5-year Semper Ardens Accomplish grant and led by Prof. Phil Ayres. The project will investigate the direct application of tri-axial weaving principles to solid timber with the objective of making structurally performing lattices at architectural scale.

The research position will have specific focus on integrating understandings of the timber value chain to inform strategies of material sourcing and use within the project and with a view towards potential upscaling of the approach. Focus areas will include:

  • Assessment of resource availability and prospecting of anticipated changes over the coming decades driven by climate, economic, land-use change, and other factors.
  • Assessing current processing and manufacturing constraints, and QC methods against specific material requirements of the novel structural logic.
  • Analysis of the supply chain, including logistics, towards developing digitally integrated coordination models for testing upscaling potential and more flexible and optimised procurement strategies.
  • Mapping of relevant regulatory and compliance issues covering building codes and standards.
  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Data Gathering with focus on the timber supply chain.
  • Benchmarking against related typologies with particular focus on the areas defined above.

Beyond the Kagome Architectures project, the position will cover broader research on wood and waste wood.

Your teaching will focus on both organising and delivering taught modules, workshop-based teaching as well as studio teaching. The areas that you will need to cover are sustainable design strategies developed through material/physical and digital modelling including parametric thinking, their application in a design context especially with focus on materials and structures. The main focus will be on timber explored within novel structural morphologies and systems that address wood's value chain holistically. The teaching will also cover other materials and structures within a circular context.

About You

We are looking for an experienced professional with a strong background in the field of timber value chain and novel structural logics. As a minimum, you hold a relevant master's level degree and a PhD or PhD-level scientific qualifications.

We expect that you demonstrate a strong prior research engagement situating novel design approaches within the context of the timber value chain. You should also demonstrate a track record of self-directed research enquiry evidenced through lead-authorship of published peer-reviewed conference and/or journal papers.

It will be an advantage to have proven experience in developing, funding, and implementing externally funded research projects as well as projects involving industry collaborations. Documented experience in teaching at bachelor's and master's level will also count in an applicant's favour, as will experience in curriculum planning and development.
