About this position
Aalborg University is recruiting a full-time postdoctoral researcher in Lighting Design for its Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology at the Copenhagen Campus. The two-year position is connected to the transdisciplinary Lighting Design Lab and combines research, supervision, teaching, and semester coordination.
The postdoc will contribute to externally funded research projects that address societal challenges through lighting design, technology, and human-centric approaches. The research environment brings together lighting designers, architects, engineers, and researchers, with work spanning architecture, engineering, artificial intelligence, media technology, daylight, electric lighting, human visual and non-visual needs, and dynamic lighting conditions.
Teaching will focus especially on the engineering and technical dimensions of lighting design. Relevant areas include photometric and colorimetric concepts, lighting laws and principles, measurement quantities and methods, international standards, and objective approaches for measuring, observing, analysing, and evaluating lighting conditions. The role also includes supervision and educational coordination within the international MSc programme in Lighting Design, where students develop project-based lighting designs and master's theses through design-research processes.
The Lighting Design Lab supports experimental and contextual analysis of light environments and uses technologies such as lighting control, sensing systems, sky scanners, and smartphone-based applications. Its work remains grounded in human and societal needs and is undertaken through international and cross-sector collaboration, including partnerships with private-sector organisations and research environments in lighting design.
