JOB REQUIREMENTS

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct in-person applied research on applicability of data visualization methodologies in architectural design that are well embedded in the broader Living Data Studies research themes;
• Work with sensor and text data (e.g., air quality, temperature, humidity, light, human movement, plant conditions, interviews) to explore innovative ways to communicate these datasets through visual means;
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams for example: the Design Data and Society research group, architects in practice, data scientists, ecologists, and human-computer interaction specialists;
• Publish research in high-impact journals and present findings at international conferences;
• Complete graduate school courses and related requirements for PhD completion at TU Delft and the Department of Architecture.

What We Offer

• A fully-funded four-year PhD position in a dynamic, interdisciplinary research environment;
• Access to state-of-the-art labs, data resources, sensor technologies, and visualization tools;
• Opportunities for international collaboration and research dissemination;
• A supportive academic environment fostering innovation in architectural design and data visualization.

Required Qualifications

• A Master’s degree in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, Industrial Design, Environmental Design, or a related field;
• Strong interest in data visualization and sensor-based environmental monitoring;
• Experience in data visualization tools and programming languages (e.g., R, Processing, D3.js, Python, Unity, or similar);
• Demonstrated capacity to initiate projects and build collaborative networks;

• Ability to maintain productivity on an independent project while also contributing to interdisciplinary collaborations and team work;Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
