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.

This role is located within the CHAPS laboratories in the Department of Respiratory Medicine at the Denmark Hill (King’s College Hospital) campus of King’s College London. The Respiratory Muscle Laboratory focuses on understanding respiratory and peripheral muscle physiology in both health and disease across different age groups, including infants, children, and adults. Our research spans basic, mechanistic, and applied studies, often translating findings into clinical applications. Our work is nationally and internationally recognised, contributing significantly to the field of respiratory physiology. 

 

Key areas of research include:


	Respiratory control in healthy individuals and patients with acute or chronic conditions.
	Development and refinement of physiological measurement techniques.
	Investigating the effects of disease pathology and treatment interventions on respiratory and peripheral muscles.


About the role

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Research Associate to join our team investigating the mechanisms of breathlessness and fatigue in Long COVID. This role involves conducting detailed physiological tests and exploring the relationship between physiological, behavioural, and psychological responses and symptom burden in individuals with Long COVID. The findings will inform the design of large-scale interventional studies and personalized rehabilitation programs. The ideal candidate for this position will hold a PhD (or be near completion) in Human Physiology, Sport & Exercise Sciences or a related field. Prior experience of conducting lung function tests and cardiopulmonary exercise testing in adult human participants is essential, and experience of conducting respiratory muscle function and peripheral muscle function tests is desirable. Please note that this is a part-time post (0.5 FTE) based on Denmark Hill campus.

 

The successful candidate will contribute to a research project funded by the BMA Foundation - J Moulton (Long-COVID) Grant. The post holder will work under the supervision of Dr Caroline Jolley (Clinical Respiratory Medicine & Respiratory Muscle Physiology) and Professor Gerrard Rafferty (Human & Translational Physiology). The work will be conducted in the Centre for Human and Applied Physiological Sciences laboratories in the Department of Respiratory Medicine at the Denmark Hill campus of King’s College London. The post holder will be responsible for conducting physiological tests (including spirometry, electrocardiogram (ECG), cardiopulmonary exercise testing, respiratory & peripheral muscle function tests) in healthy human participants and Long COVID patients, and to assist with preparation of manuscripts and outputs resulting from the project. The successful candidate will receive teaching in advanced respiratory and peripheral muscle testing to a level sufficient to understand the aims of the project and collect physiological data independently.

 

This is a part time post (17.5 hours per week) and you will be offered a fixed term contract until 31 October 2025.

About You

To be successful in this role, we are looking for candidates to have the following skills and experience:

 

Essential criteria


	PhD in Human Physiology, Sport & Exercise Sciences or a related field*
	Practical experience of data acquisition and physiological measurements in healthy human subjects
	Prior experience of conducting lung function tests and cardiopulmonary exercise testing in adult human participants
	Experience of handling and analysing biomedical data
	Basic statistical knowledge
	Good communication skills to multi-disciplinary audiences
	Ability to work effectively with colleagues, and other agencies
	Good organisational and time management skills


* Please note that this is a PhD level role but candidates who have submitted their thesis and are awaiting award of their PhDs will be considered. In these circumstances the appointment will be made at Grade 5, spine point 30 with the title of Research Assistant. Upon confirmation of the award of the PhD, the job title will become Research Associate and the salary will increase to Grade 6.

 

Desirable criteria


	Previous experience of conducting respiratory muscle function and peripheral muscle function tests
	Previous project management and/or research experience
	Presentation of research at national/international meetings
	Personal commitment to research
	Personal experience of work in a clinical setting
