Edinburgh Napier University is offering a fully-funded PhD studentship in the interdisciplinary field of digital twin research, focusing on the project titled “Building Back Circular: Digitalising Construction for Climate-Resilient Recovery.” This opportunity is open to both UK and international applicants and is based within the School of Computing, Engineering & the Built Environment (SCEBE). The project is supervised by Dr. Lina Khaddour (primary supervisor) and Prof. Berk Canberk (second supervisor). The research aims to explore how advanced digital technologies, such as digital twins, AI, and IoT, can accelerate the adoption of circular economy principles within the built environment. The goal is to develop innovative strategies and digital tools to enhance resource efficiency, reduce waste, and promote sustainable lifecycle management across buildings and infrastructure. This PhD is ideal for candidates passionate about digital innovation, sustainability, and climate-resilient construction. The research will contribute to the transition towards a circular, low-carbon future by integrating digital construction methods and circular economy strategies. The project is highly interdisciplinary, combining elements of civil engineering, environmental science, and computer science. The studentship is fully funded, covering tuition fees and providing a stipend (exact amount not specified). The start date is October 2026, and the application deadline is 9th January 2026. For informal enquiries, applicants are encouraged to contact Dr. Lina Khaddour at l.khaddour@napier.ac.uk. More information and application details can be found via the provided link.
