About this position

This PhD project focuses on the acoustic performance of timber structure connections in lightweight buildings. The research tackles a central challenge in sustainable construction: timber and other biobased structures can offer a low-carbon alternative to conventional materials, but their sound insulation can vary substantially and is often difficult to predict accurately.

Working within the QUIET-ARC project, the PhD candidate will investigate how different connection types and layouts — such as screws, nails, steel brackets, and adhesive joints — influence sound transmission through timber buildings. A key part of the work is to develop advanced but computationally efficient numerical methods that can model these connection effects more realistically than current prediction tools.

The position is embedded in the Building Acoustics research group at TU/e, in the Department of the Built Environment. The project is jointly supervised across Eindhoven University of Technology and the Technical University of Denmark as part of the EuroTech Universities PhD programme. The PhD researcher will work in an interdisciplinary and international environment and will also spend time at DTU’s Acoustic Technology group in Denmark.

The research combines building acoustics, numerical modelling, and the study of construction variability to improve prediction tools for timber buildings. It is intended to support better-designed low-carbon buildings by making acoustic performance more reliable and more understandable at the level of structural connections.

Funding details

Full-time PhD contract for 4 years with a gross base salary of €3,204–€4,051 per month (scale P), plus 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% year-end bonus.

What's required

A master’s degree or equivalent university degree in acoustics, building physics, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, or related disciplines is required. The candidate should have a research-oriented attitude, be motivated to develop teaching skills and coach students, and be fluent in spoken and written English at C1 level. An affinity for building acoustics, vibro-acoustics, or structural dynamics, experience with or affinity for computational methods, and previous publications or scientific communications are considered advantages.

How to apply
