The Department of Architecture aims to be a leading provider of education and research in Architecture and the Built Environment. The department’s REF 2021 submission was rated 100% ‘outstanding’ for impact and was the only submission in the unit in the UK to achieve this. The need to address the challenges of climate change and energy justice through innovation in design and socially responsive architecture is core to the departments’ research agenda, with the drive towards healthy buildings and equitable neighbourhoods and communities a key commitment to teaching, learning and research activities in all courses and projects.
We are looking for an outstanding candidate who has an established track record of high-quality research, with particular expertise in visual research methods and socio-technical approaches in architecture, design and the built environment. The candidate will be able to work within a multidisciplinary environment and collaborate with a range of project partners within architecture, engineering, construction, surveying and related built environment disciplines as part of a funded ESRC research project in collaboration with University of Reading.
We would love to hear from you if you have a PhD and postdoctoral research experience in social science and visual research approaches (ideally, with a focus on photo and or artifact-elicitation techniques); a good knowledge and understanding of building design and delivery processes as well as ability to understand and analyse technical and engineering problems and/or organizational processes within building projects specifically with ambitious net-zero targets. An emerging publication history in high quality academic journals; and research interests which align with this area are of strategic priority. Experience with qualitative research (including interview and observation skills and document analysis) are essential.
