About the job

The postdoctoral fellowship position is a temporary position where the main goal is to qualify for work in senior academic positions.

We have one vacancy for a Postdoctoral position at the Department of Architecture and Technology (IAT), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The Postdoctoral position is linked to an international research project entitled “Participatory collaborative research to enhance climate change adaptation and mitigation in underserved communities in Asia and North- and South America”.

The rise of global surface temperatures is causing more extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, and storms. Designing the built environment (physical, natural and social infrastructure) for integrated environmental/social sustainability and resilience against extreme weather is crucial to face and mitigate the challenges, especially in areas inhabited by vulnerable populations. Such design calls for holistic, inclusive, regenerative, and self-sustaining approaches which result in an overall net positive impact on the environment and the communities living in it. 

The research project, that the postdoc will be part of, is a collaboration between partners in Canada, UK, Norway, Switzerland, Indonesia, Colombia and USA, the latter three countries also hosting living labs in selected coastal communities. Based on an interdisciplinary approach, the research project will (1) Assess region-specific climate change related hazards, exposures, vulnerabilities, and current responses in vulnerable communities through citizen-institution dialogues; (2) co-create innovative responses to climate change in a framework of scenarios and implementable regenerative solutions through a participatory design that enhance long-term resilience with net-positive environmental impacts; (3) mobilize and embed knowledge within communities and institutions to enable the adaptation and/or reclamation of the built environment in a resilient and sustainable manner. 

The candidate will be part of the Energy and Environment Group at the Department of Architecture and Technology, NTNU. The Energy and Environment group strives to solve sustainability issues of the built environment and to prepare it for climate neutrality. Based on science and research we advance design solutions that integrate energy and environmental performance with high architectural and spatial quality. We aim at enabling the design of buildings and neighbourhoods with a positive impact on humans and their environment throughout their life cycle. The group currently comprises 10 senior staff members (professors and associate professors), and around 20 research fellows (research assistants, PhD candidates, and post-doctoral researchers).

You will report to the Head of Department when it comes to personal and general professional aspects. You will report to the project manager/supervisor when it comes to scientific and project-related aspects. 

Duties of the position

The postdoc will work with all project partners and living labs but will have a particular focus on collaboration with the Indonesian living lab. The postdoc will bridge the areas of environmental and technical assessments with the use of this information as decision-support in the affected communities. Specifically, the postdoc will contribute in:


	Identifying regenerative approaches for climate adaptation and mitigation in vulnerable communities
	Facilitating co-designs of low-emission climate adaptation solutions within the communities
	Co-developing blueprints for tools and processes for embedding and spreading knowledge about approaches for climate adaptation and mitigation in vulnerable communities
	Collaborations with NTNU master students, as well as an Indonesian PhD candidate (and Indonesian supervisors) in architecture about community-driven scenarios for climate adaptations and sustainable solutions to mitigate climate change.
	Contribute to project management related to the NTNU tasks in the larger research project
	Contribute to management of related data and deliverables in the project.

About us

We are seeking to recruit an organised, reliable and enthusiastic qualitative researcher with expertise in sociology or another relevant social science discipline to work on our ESRC-funded project, ‘Young Lives, Young Futures’.
