PhD Position: Indoor Thermal Natural Variation for Heat Resilience Delft University of Technology in Netherlands

PhD opportunity at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment , within the Architectural Engineering + Technology (AE&T) Department. The project is part of the NWO-funded Nature 4 Homes initiative and focuses on indoor thermal conditions , heat resilience , resident perception , building envelope , ventilation , and climate change adaptation . You will use a citizen science approach to study how residents experience changing indoor temperat...

This PhD project at Delft University of Technology explores how nature-based building skins can be used to retrofit existing homes for hotter climates. The research sits at the intersection of building physics, architecture, ecology, and user-centered design , with a clear focus on improving indoor comfort while reducing reliance on energy-intensive cooling systems. You will work on the development of innovative façade concepts that combine vegetation, circular materials, and smart ventilation s...

Postdoc in Urban Climate Morphology at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) This postdoctoral position sits within the CROSS-PED project (Cross-scale Passive Cooling Strategies for Positive Energy Districts), an international collaboration focused on making cities more climate-resilient through scalable passive cooling strategies. The role is based at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at TU Delft in the Netherlands. The postdoc will develop and apply data-driven methods ...

This postdoc at Utrecht University focuses on helping river delta regions prepare for rising seas and increasingly extreme hydrological events. The project builds on the Dynamic Adaptive Pathways Planning for Multi-Risk (DAPP-MR) framework to develop robust multi-risk adaptation pathways for complex multi-sectoral delta systems. You will work on methods that support robust decision-making under uncertainty, with an emphasis on balancing competing priorities across sectors such as drinking water ...

Funded PhD opportunity at the University of Greenwich focused on heatwave adaptation in residential properties. The project, entitled “Adapting to heatwave. A workflow blending outdoor and indoor environments” , will develop an adaptation workflow to help residential properties cope with heatwave events through integrated outdoor and indoor analysis. Research methods will include remote sensing , building simulation , and thermal comfort . The project will be supervised by Carlos Jimenez-Bescos,...
