About this position
EPFL (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher in Building Technology within the Structural Xploration Lab (SXL), located at the Smart Living Lab in Fribourg, Switzerland.
The position focuses on building technology, with research on the characterization and circular performance assessment of building envelopes in Europe. The work spans construction details, building archetypes, and large-scale inference of building stocks, and is embedded in an EU-Horizon project with industrial and research partners.
Applicants should hold a PhD in building technology, preferably with experience in building materials, building envelope performance, or building renovation. Familiarity with contemporary construction techniques is required, and interest in 20th-century construction techniques or vernacular architecture is valued.
