The Delft University of Technology is hiring a Postdoc on “Vulnerability of Buildings in Dense Urban Areas to Climate-Induced Extremes”.
This large international project aims to create a more resilient built environment by providing digital tools for assessing, improving, and responding to future climate threats, and by delivering technological construction solutions to improve the resilience of buildings. In particular, the project will develop
- novel multi-criteria decision-support frameworks and a suite of digital services to facilitate the whole-life cycle multi-hazard resilience assessment, design, and management across material-to-urban scales:
- low-carbon technologies to upgrade the resilience of buildings against multiple hazards, with a focus on climate-related extremes. The project results will be demonstrated in large-scale pilots (3 buildings, 4 neighborhoods/cities) in different European countries with diverse conditions.
Duration: 2 years
Salary
- Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities.
- The TU Delft offers a customizable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution.
- Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
