Post-Doc - Restoring Urban Stream for Biodiversity, Climate Adaptation and Urban Quality of Life
4 maanden geleden
We are inviting applications for a 1,5-year position (0.8 FTE) as a postdoc researcher in the interdisciplinary project ReBioClim - Restoring urban streams to promote Biodiversity, Climate adaptation and to improve quality of life in cities. ReBioClim is an Interreg Central Europe project that brings together 12 partners around four urban stream restoration cases in Dresden (Germany), Poznan (Poland), Bratislava (Slovakia) and Jablonec nad Nisou (Czechia), with external expertise on spatial analysis and design from TU Delft.
Building on the tradition of the Department of Urbanism of designing and planning cities with water, as well as the involved research group's experience in urban riverspace analysis and design, the TU Delft team will conduct urban geospatial analyses considering the morphological, social, ecological and environmental particularities of urban stream corridors. Carried out as a spatial multi-criteria analysis in all case study locations, this activity will reveal how local spatial patterns influence stream restoration potentials and to what extent they are generic and thus transferrable. Conflicts (e.g., between traffic and ecological corridors) and synergies (e.g., low-impact recreation in a riparian zone) across the different layers of analysis will be highlighted.
TU Delft will also lead the joint development of a co-design workshop methodology. Following a multi- and mixed-method approach to data collection in the workshops, the research team will triangulate nuanced information on different facets of stream restoration and its perception by citizens. The co-design methodology will be set up in such a way that comparison and integration of information across the cases will be possible in subsequent activities. The workshop will be designed to engage citizens effectively and make their co-design experience enjoyable, insightful and empowering.
Moreover, TU Delft will contribute to the development of transferrable design principles for social-ecological integration that rely on the nature-based solutions collected or developed during the project. The integrative character of the design principles (e.g., how they meet social and ecological targets jointly) will be made explicit in the description of the principles. All principles will have an illustration that explains the essence of the proposed intervention and thus facilitates their uptake in implementation. After being evaluated and validated by experts, the principles will be incorporated into a best-practice guide and a handbook for integrated urban stream restoration.
In the context of these activities, your key responsibilities will be:
- Conducting geospatial analysis to describe the current and potential spatial conditions around the urban stream transformations targeted in the four cases.
- Contributing to the development of the co-design methodology and guiding other partners in applying this methodology.
- Contributing to the development of design principles, best practice guide and handbook together with consortium partners.
- Managing the raw and derived, spatial and non-spatial, data following the Data Management Plan and project-wide data agreements.
- Actively participating in in-person and online meetings and other knowledge exchange activities with consortium partners.
- Writing up project deliverables.
- Contributing to the publication of research findings in reputable peer-reviewed journals and present results in conferences and workshops.
You will be part of the Section of Urban Design in the Department of Urbanism at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment.
Requirements
- A PhD degree in one or more of the following disciplines: urbanism, landscape architecture, urban studies, urban planning, human geography, or a related discipline.
- A strong and demonstrable interest in sustainable urban transformations instrumented by nature-based solutions, green-blue infrastructure and/or urban rivers/streams.
- A strong interest in design-driven research, preferably demonstrated with experience in developing or conducting design workshops.
- Excellent skills in geospatial analysis and spatial morphology, preferably in QGIS.
- Verbal and written working profficiency in English, including good writing skills, as demonstrated by peer-reviewed academic publications or by other relevant writing experience.
- Ability to work independently and in a result-oriented way.
- Availability to start in January 2025.
Nice-to-haves:
- Experience in conducting geospatial analysis in a programming environment such as R or Python.
- Knowledge of co-design workshop methodologies.
