About this position
Teesside University, under the supervision of Lecturer Nazanin Moazzen, is inviting applications for self-funded PhD positions in the field of sustainable building technologies and energy-efficient retrofit strategies. The research group is particularly interested in candidates passionate about advancing knowledge in areas such as AI-driven building retrofit optimisation, life cycle assessment (LCA) and embodied carbon in retrofit design, post-occupancy evaluation of nearly zero-energy building (nZEB) retrofits, net-zero retrofit pathways for existing buildings, renewable energy integration, thermal and visual comfort in efficient buildings, digital twin applications for building energy performance, decision-support tools for sustainable retrofits, circular retrofit strategies for historic buildings, and climate-resilient retrofit design.
These research areas are at the intersection of civil engineering, environmental science, and architecture, with a strong emphasis on sustainability, carbon reduction, and the integration of advanced digital tools. The opportunity is ideal for candidates with a background in engineering, architecture, or environmental science who are self-motivated and able to secure their own funding for tuition and living expenses.
Applicants should prepare a detailed CV and reach out directly to the supervisor if their research interests align with the listed topics. No specific funding or scholarships are available for these positions, and applicants must be self-funded. The application process is open-ended, with no fixed deadline, and interested candidates are encouraged to contact the supervisor as soon as possible to discuss potential research directions and next steps.
