About this position

UIC Barcelona’s School of Architecture research laboratory is seeking a predoctoral candidate to develop a doctoral thesis connected to the Carbon Passport Tool (CPT), a decision-support tool for building decarbonization.

The CPT is being developed to compare and prioritize building rehabilitation strategies according to their carbon impact while incorporating energy and economic criteria. The doctoral research will contribute to the decarbonization and circular economy of the building sector, with an applied orientation and a focus on transferring knowledge to professional practice.

The candidate will investigate life cycle assessment and the embodied and operational carbon of buildings, compare rehabilitation scenarios and intervention sequences, develop methodologies and digital tools for decision-making, and apply and validate the CPT through case studies. The work combines architectural and building research with environmental assessment, energy analysis, data processing, and potential programming.

The research will be undertaken within the School of Architecture laboratory at UIC Barcelona, in collaboration with its research team and in an environment oriented toward applied research and sustainable building rehabilitation.

Funding details

The selected candidate will prepare, with support from the research team, an application for UIC Barcelona predoctoral grants or FI Joan Oró (AGAUR) grants. Appointment is conditional on obtaining funding and meeting the specific requirements of the relevant call; no stipend amount or tuition coverage is stated.

What's required

Applicants should hold a degree in Architecture, Building Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Energy Engineering, or a related discipline; have an academic record average of at least 6.5 out of 10; and have completed an official university master's degree or equivalent training granting access to a doctoral programme. For eligibility for the FI Joan Oró grants, the master's degree or equivalent qualification must have been completed after 1 January 2024, although this timing requirement does not apply to UIC Barcelona's predoctoral grants. Motivation for applied research in decarbonization and sustainable rehabilitation is required. Knowledge of life cycle assessment, environmental assessment, energy simulation, data processing, or programming is valued.

How to apply

Send your CV, academic transcript, and a short motivation letter by private message on LinkedIn. The selected candidate will work with the research team to prepare a grant application.
