Assistant Professor in Sustainable Structural Design

1 week geleden

Eindhoven, Noord-Brabant, Nederland TU Eindhoven Voltijd

Job description:


Sustainable structural design is a field that substantially contributes to the reduction of the environmental impact and CO2 footprint due to the construction of buildings and infrastructure.


This can be achieved by various strategies:
- optimization of structures e.g. by using parametric design and AI;
- design of light-weight and/or adaptive structures;
- design for manufacturing structures by robotics;
- making structural designs truly circular: designing for circularity and reuse of building materials, elements and components in new and refurbished structures;
- renovation of existing building structures.


Our new Assistant Professor is a structural designer with experience, or a specific interest, in contributing to a more sustainable future of the built environment.

As Assistant Professor, you will be involved in research, teaching, valorization and organization.

As a researcher, you will write research proposals and submit these to (inter)national funding agencies. Granted research proposals will lead to appointing PhD students of which you act as the daily supervisor. Your research output is published in highly ranked relevant international journals.

As a teacher, you are able to connect your teaching to your research.

You will be educating the structural engineers and designers of the future, both at the bachelor and at the master level.

You will (co-)develop and teach courses and projects in English.

Your expertise is in the field of structural design for buildings and infrastructure, with an emphasis on sustainability and circularity.

Since our educational programs are integrally addressing all building disciplines, it is appreciated if you have affinity with e.g. architecture, building physics, urbanism and urban systems, and real estate.

You are able to build a network and attract companies becoming interested in your research. You will set up valorization projects together with companies to bring your research to practice.


You will contribute to the organization by participating in committees aimed at maintaining and improving the quality of our research and of our bachelor and master educational programs.

These programs contribute to important societal themes like the energy transition, sustainability and circularity, the housing problem and ageing infrastructure.

Our department participates in (inter)national activities like the New European Bauhaus initiative and the EWUU alliance on themes of sustainability, inclusiveness and circular society, which gives you ample opportunities to cooperate with colleagues from other organizations and universities.


Job requirements:

  • Motivated researcher, with a PhD in civil or building engineering with a specialization in structural design, or a comparable domain.
  • Some years of experience as a postdoc researcher.
  • Ability to conduct highquality academic research, reflected in demonstratable output.
  • Ability to teach, demonstrated by experience or assistance in teaching. Clear vision on teaching and learning within the discipline.
  • Strong cooperation skills and ability to work in an interdisciplinary team.
  • Effective communication and leadership skills, including coaching and mentoring of students and staff, leading a project or chairing a group.
  • Excellent (writing and verbal) proficiency in English.
  • Affinity with circularity and sustainable strategies in structural engineering and design.
  • Adequate knowledge of parametric design and finite element programs for structural design purposes.
  • Holding a 'University Teaching Qualification' or the willingness to obtain such a qualification in the first three years of the appointment.

Conditions of employment:

A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station.

In addition, we offer you:

  • A Tenure Track of five years with the prospect of becoming an Associate Professor. If you have a more senior profile, a tailormade career proposal will be considered.
  • The opportunity to focus your career on education, research or impact. You can develop your personal ambitions within the strategic objectives of the university.
  • Salary in accordance with the _Collective Labour Agreement_ for Dutch Universities, scale 11 (min. € 3974;
- max. € 5439;
- per month).

  • A yearend bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
  • A dedicated mentoring program to help you get to know the university and the Dutch (research) environment.
  • Highquality training programs for academic leadership and teaching.
  • An excellent technical infrastructure, oncampus children's day care and sports facilities.
  • Partially paid parental leave and an allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
