hela Sverige Luleå University of Technology is in strong growth with world-leading competence in several research areas. We shape the future through innovative education and ground-breaking research results, and based on the Arctic region, we create global social benefit. Our scientific and artistic research and education are conducted in close collaboration with international, national and regional companies, public actors and leading universities. Luleå University of Technology has a total turnover of SEK 1.9 billion per year. We currently have 1,840 employees and 17,670 students.
In the coming years, multi-billion investments will be made in large projects in Northern Sweden to create a fossil-free society both nationally and globally. Luleå University of Technology is involved in several of these cutting-edge research projects and in the societal transformation that they entail. We offer a broad range of courses and study programmes to match the skills in demand. We hope that you will help us to build the sustainable companies and societies of the future.We are looking for a doctoral student to work in the architecture research group at Luleå University of Technology in Luleå. The doctoral position is unique and will lead to a much sought-after competence and will give you as a researcher the opportunity to work in a creative research environment both at Luleå University of Technology and in the organizations and companies with which we cooperate.
The Architecture research subject is one of our 19 research subjects at the Department of Civil Engineering and Natural Resources. The research group includes about 20 people with competence ranging from urban and traffic planning to architecture and urban design, conservation, and landscape architecture. Our research and education make a crucial contribution to shaping policies and planning for future cities. The Department has about 400 people with about 50 nationalities, of which 180 doctoral students and just over 50 professors. Our research and education have a strong experimental and applied profile with several large and well-equipped laboratories.
Project description
As a doctoral student, you will be working in the field of architecture, urban and traffic planning and your work will be linked with national and international R&D projects. Research topics aims to develop new architecture and planning knowledge as well as methods to deal with the ongoing climate transition in cities. The projects will focus on the following areas:
• Computational and climate-sensitive architecture and urban design
• Role of generative AI for a shared aesthetic of the green transition
• Create, design, and maintain healthy urban design for walking
• Reactivating architectural heritage in northern peripheral regions
• Transdisciplinary knowledge making for attractive urban futures
Duties
The work will be carried out in the Architecture group of Luleå University of technology in Luleå. The research field is multi-disciplinary and of both a scientific and an applied nature including fields such as architecture, urban planning, and transport. The PhD student will work with quantitative and qualitative methods (e.g., field measurements, survey, numerical modelling, participatory design, living labs, business models, etc.). All the scientific work will be presented in English in articles in scientific journals.
