PhD Position Implications of as-a-service in Buildings to Value

4 maanden geleden


Delft, Nederland Delft University of Technology Voltijd

Do you want to be part of the circular revolution to rethink the way we value the built environment? Join us as a doctoral candidate (DC) in the EU-funded QuiVal programme where we reimagine value Job description

In order to make our cities more circular, we need to fundamentally revisit the way that we define and quantify the value of our built environment. This fully-funded doctoral project is part of a Marie Sklodowska Curie Action Doctoral Network, QuiVal, a programme funded by the European Union with the aim to develop a fundamentally new approach to real estate valuation, allowing the sector to rapidly transition towards a more sustainable, low carbon and circular future. This will be achieved through a transdisciplinary doctoral training programme across 8 universities and 14 industry partners, and including 13 doctoral candidates who will work, together and separately, to rethink the philosophy, principles and processes of valuation. The programme is transdisciplinary and co-produced by leading academics and practitioners who are passionate and knowledgeable about the real estate industry and about sustainability. Five objectives have been developed through which to achieve the aim, and each doctoral project will respond to one of these objectives.

The doctoral project at Delft University of Technology (research project 4b) is part of the response to the objective, ‘Analogue expansion of valuation’. In the circular economy, business models drive future building use potential. One unexplored aspect is the product service system direction. In a very infant stage, some initiatives have been developed that focus on the building as a service. The product service systems approach enables more accountability on the building operation, including e.g. CO2 emissions, because specific services (like elevators, heat systems, or lighting) could be owned and accounted for by service providers. In this context the question arises: what are the implications for the value of the building? This project will explore the implications of product service system applications in buildings on the real estate value. As well as a dissertation, and a number of academic papers, the project will produce an accessible report for real estate professionals.

You, the doctoral candidate (DC), will spend the majority of time at Delft University of Technology in Delft, the Netherlands, but will also be funded for two periods on secondment to QuiVal partners, one to industry partner Alba Concepts and the other to university partner ETH in Zurich, Switzerland. There will also be significant opportunities for sharing knowledge and fostering discussions with the other 12 DCs, through five workshops and three summer schools. The DCs will also work together to collect data and collaborate with stakeholders including a network of industry frontrunners who are partners in the programme, increasing understanding, research impact, and chances of employment in the real estate and related sectors. Requirements

You will be embedded in the QuiVal community. For your role in research project 4b, we are looking for a doctoral candidate who has:

  • An MSc degree with a background in real estate, valuation, real estate finance, economics, statistics or new industrial supply chains.
  • Proficiency in English speaking, reading and writing, (preferred).
  • Strong skills in mixed research methods.
  • Good communicative and entrepreneurial skills, independent attitude paired with an ability to work in a research team.
  • Able to lead in research and involve the research team and industrial partners in knowledge co-creation and sharing activities.
  • Affinity with design of new approaches and an open-mind to stretch the imagination of its application are considered a benefit

    This vacancy follows the recruitment procedures of QuiVal, which are set up in compliance to the MSCA doctoral network recruitment rules from the European Commission, most notably the mobility and eligibility of the Doctoral Candidates:

    • Candidates may not have a PhD degree.
    • Candidates must have not lived in the Netherlands for at least 2 years out of last 3 years.

      Doing a PhD at TU Delft requires English proficiency at a certain level to ensure that the candidate is able to communicate and interact well, participate in English-taught Doctoral Education courses, and write scientific articles and a final thesis. Conditions of employment

      Doctoral candidates will be offered a 4-year period of employment in principle, but in the form of 2 employment contracts. An initial 1,5 year contract with an official go/no go progress assessment within 15 months. Followed by an additional contract for the remaining 2,5 years assuming everything goes well and performance requirements are met.

      Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, increasing from € 2770 per month in the first year to € 3539 in the fourth year. As a PhD candidate you will be enrolled in the TU Delft Graduate School. The TU Delft Graduate School provides an inspiring research environment with an excellent team of supervisors, academic staff and a mentor. The Doctoral Education Programme is aimed at developing your transferable, discipline-related and research skills.

      The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

      For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network. TU Delft (Delft University of Technology)
