Sr Lecturer/Assistant/Associate Professor

Roles & Responsibilities PROFILE The candidate s teaching and research area is that of environmental design methods and tools for pursuing carbon neutrality in the built environment through open innovation. The application domains include, without being limited to, the performance of building envelope, and urban and landscape design, achieved through the integration of material environmental science, driven by emerging technologies. The successful candidate will contribute to this research field by developing innovative concepts, tools and platforms to intertwine passive and active environmental control techniques through digital innovation, and to link them to industrial applications. This research area can contribute to developing innovative projects for the reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emissions, improvement of indoor and outdoor comfort, urban resilience, the mitigation of heat islands and of other effects brought about by climate change. RESPONSIBILITIES Teach 12 credits, typically resulting in one design studio and two taught courses a semester, including student academic mentoring Research through the classic academic realm via research projects, innovations, and publications or via industrial/architectural design or digital fabrication practice. Publications at a level appropriate for the discipline and designation. Applications to external research funds Service to support the administrative side of the department, school and the university or extracurricular activities for students, staff, and discipline. Participation in departmental activities and administrative life. Positions of administrative responsibility at departmental/school level.
