Job offer: Post-Doctoral and PhD Positions in Computational Modelling at The Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning, Technion-IIT
We received this info from Technion:
The Architecture and Planning Faculty at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, is recruiting a postdoctoral/PhD positions to work in the EU-funded research project ECOLOPES – a game-changing design approach for regenerative urban ecosystems.
- The position for post doc is initially for two years (subject to successful review at the end of the first year) with a possible extension for an additional two years by mutual agreement. Salary and benefits are competitive and consistent with the Technion policy and applicant experience.
- The position for PhD is for three years. Generous scholarship that includes tuition and living expenses is included.
ECOLOPES is a HORIZON 2020-FET OPEN funded research project proposing a radical change for city development: we aim at urbanisation to be planned and designed such that nature – including humans - can co-evolve within the city. The goal of the project is to transform the building envelope into an ecolopes, a multi-species living space for four types of inhabitants: humans, plants, animals, and microbiota.
The advertised positions will be critical in developing the ECOLOPES Computational Modelling and Simulation Environment, which will make knowledge available for design. The overall goal of ECOLOPES is to provide the technology that enables an iterative design process based on the simulation of the dynamic development of the ecolope, and its various subsystems and their interactions. It builds on the EIM Ontology and will facilitate a radically new level of interaction between architecture, urban planning, ecology, and environmental medicine.
Your tasks will focus on:
- Develop the ECOLOPES simulation environment that allows to suggest design solutions and analyse trade-offs between building design and ecological performance based on algorithmic tools implemented in Rhinoceros.
- Design a multi-criterion modelling and evaluation methodology to address architectural requirements and demands of inhabitants.
- Develop the sorting and measuring of possible envelope scenarios based on the definition of key performance indicators (KPIs).
The skills and qualifications we require are:
- For Post Doc - a PhD degree in one of the following areas or a related area earned no more than five years prior to the start of the post-doc: Architecture, Computational design, Landscape Architecture, Ecological design, Environmental Engineering
- For PhD - a MsC/M.arch degree in one of the following areas or a related area earned no more than three years prior to the start of the PhD: Architecture, Computational design, Landscape Architecture

DesignMorphine Masters Degree
DesignMorphine, an international educational institution, announces their accredited 9-month Online Master of Science program, crafted to be accessible from the comfort of one's home. The program aims to fulfill the demands of those who seek to exceed and lead in the field of multidisciplinary advanced and computational design.
The Master's schedule is split inτο five leading Design Chapters and five supporting Technical and Theoretical Labs that span the 9-month long academic year. Through them, students will encounter and learn advanced techniques and design processes from world-renowned designers and architects.
During the Design Chapters phase, they will start with the generation of a single unit and its new features, i.e., the enhanced human body. They will then progress to develop more complex architectural entities around that, reaching the state to build global systems and networks.
Through the Technical Labs, students will master a variety of software for parametric and generative design, like Maya, ZBrush, Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, Houdini, Unreal Engine, C#, etc. They get to use virtual reality, visualize their concepts through the Media Lab, and work with Prototyping Machines and Swarm Robotics. Furthermore, students will be taught how to formulate a concrete, expandable theoretical frame to support their vision. At the end of each monthly cycle of lessons, participants will present their work and discussion will follow. Mentors and acclaimed designers will be called to participate and provide a fresh perspective. At the end of this journey, students will have obtained a variety of skills, allowing them to be ready to take on any project in any working environment.
