Postdoctoral fellowship on translational research in daylighting for human health and well-being

Independently conduct research at the intersection of health and building science Active role in teaching formats at D-ARCH, e.g. lectures and design studios, and supervision of theses Dissemination of results and contribution to outreach activities within and beyond D-ARCH, e.g., contributions to one Daylight Academy Conference, one symposium and one open lecture at D-ARCH

The Department of Architecture (D-ARCH) invites an excellent postdoctoral fellow (18 months, starting 1st January to 1st April 2027 or upon agreement) to take the next step in his or her career, expanding expertise in daylighting for human health and well-being to form an independent research field at the Daylight Integration Nexus (DINx). Supported by Velux Stiftung, the Architecture and Building Systems (A/S) group together with the Chair of Architecture and Urban Design form the DINx, a platform to integrate daylighting into research and teaching at D-ARCH. The fellow will be hosted by the chair of Architecture and Building Systems (A/S) at the Institute of Technology in Architecture (ITA) in collaboration with the Chair of Architecture and Urban Design at the Institute of Landscape and Urban Studies (LUS). A/S investigates passive and active systems for energy supply and climate control in buildings, aiming for an understanding of how building systems and materials interact with architectural design and the human occupant. The A/S Zero Carbon Building Systems (ZCBS) Lab provides a unique platform for experimental research under local or emulated global climates, that complements the ample opportunities offered by the ITA, in particular in the area of digital fabrication, and applied projects and design case studies conducted by LUS.

• PhD in the biomedical or health sciences, or other relevant disciplines
