Denmark : PhD Stipend in Architectural Design: Environmental Tectonics

At the Faculty of Engineering and Science, Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology a PhD stipend is available within the general study programme “Planning and Development". The stipend is open for appointment from February 1st, 2012.

The Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology has as its goal the development of an innovative cluster of engineering-based environments for education and research which integreate creativity, engineering and technology within the disciplines of architecture, urban design, industrial design, digital design and interactive media. The department is a leading research and educational environment in Denmark that addresses the challenge of the interplay between creativity and technology, and develops new areas in research and education directed towards the end-user.

Climate changes will play an increasingly more important role in coming years in the architectural design of buildings that afford user comfort as well as well-designed functional and aesthetic conditions. There is therefore a need for developing structures that can adapt their perfomance in response to environmental changes and energy requirements. The advertised PhD position therefore has to investigate a performance oriented approach to questions of matter, form, spatial organisation and adaption in relation to altering climatic conditions and occupation. The PhD position is intended to apply and advance perspectives of contemporary technologies, techniques and methods and is to employ a trans-disciplinary approach to related fields of knowledge, including digital tectonics, biomimetics and civil engineering.

You may obtain further information from Head of Department Michael Mullins , Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technoloy, phone: +45 9940 7164, email: mullins@create.aau.dk concerning the scientific aspects of the stipend.

PhD stipends are allocated to individuals who hold a Masters degree. PhD stipends are normally for a period of 3 years. It is a prerequisite for allocation of the stipend that the candidate will be enrolled as a PhD student at the Doctoral School of the Faculty of Engineering and Science, in accordance with the regulations of Ministerial Order No. 18 of January 14, 2008 on the PhD Programme at the Universities. According to the Ministerial Order, the progress of the PhD student shall be assessed every six months. It is a prerequisite for continuation of salary payment that the previous progress is approved at the time of the evaluation.
