About this position
The Singapore-ETH Centre is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher for the “Mind the density – Quantifying design scenarios that soften high-density living” project in Singapore. The multidisciplinary project brings together researchers from ETH Zurich’s Singapore-ETH Centre, the National University of Singapore, and Singapore Management University.
The research will operationalise human-centred urban analytics and cognition methods as evidence-backed decision support for high-density urban form and design interventions. The project will investigate how urban environments affect perception, cognition, behaviour, physiological responses, and subjective experience, with the goal of supporting practical planning and design decisions in Singapore.
The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to work package 1 by developing deep-learning models for geospatial data science and street-view imagery segmentation. The role also involves co-developing applications, features, datasets, and use cases using public street-view imagery and longitudinal cohort studies, as well as integrating analytical methods to quantify the effects of urban form and design interventions.
In addition, the researcher will support large-scale field data collection through online surveys and lab-based physiological studies. The position includes collaboration with researchers from multiple disciplines, government agencies, and project stakeholders, along with preparation of academic papers, conference and journal publications, funding proposals, and presentations to international audiences.
The project is led by Filip Biljecki and Zdravko Trivic, with the researcher working under the guidance of Associate Professor Filip Biljecki at the National University of Singapore and Assistant Professor Matias Quintana at Singapore Management University. The Singapore-ETH Centre provides a multicultural, interdisciplinary research environment focused on sustainable and liveable cities, resilient urban systems, and health-related research.
