PhD in Nature-Inclusive School Renovation with Biobased Materials Delft University of Technology in Netherlands

Join the BIO-SKIN team at Delft University of Technology for a PhD vacancy focused on design integration of bio-inclusive façade interventions . The project develops bio-based, waste-derived, and circular façade systems that integrate plant growth to help buildings cool, insulate, support biodiversity, and contribute to more sustainable urban environments. This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates interested in architecture , materials science , biology , environmental science , che...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences on Assessing the Health Impacts of Adaptive and Maladaptive Housing Design Interventions in the UK's Changing Climate . This project sits at the intersection of architecture , civil engineering , public health , environmental science , and the built environment . It will investigate how climate-adaptive and potentially maladaptive housing design interventions affect occupant health in the UK, wit...

Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is recruiting a full-time PhD candidate for an interdisciplinary project on bio-cemented mycelium composites in architectural engineering and microbiology . The project focuses on sustainable, circular, bio-based construction materials. You will investigate how microbial mineralisation can improve the mechanical properties of mycelium-based composites by forming calcium-based crystals within or on the mycelium network. The work combines microbiological experiment...
