Available Subjects:
- 1 Postdoctoral fellowship position summary/title: two PhD or postdoctoral positions: climate and acoustic impact of disruptive aircraft engine technology
- Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the aviation industry had been growing rapidly. ICAO’s post-COVID-19 projections indicate that aviation will recover, with growth rates ranging from 2.4% to 4.1% in the low to high scenarios respectively. The growth in air traffic inevitably leads to an increase in aviation combustion and noise emissions, thus exacerbating the environmental and social impact of aviation locally and globally. Depending on your qualifications, you will work as a PhD student or postdoctoral researcher at Horiozon Europe HOPE (Hydrogen Optimised Multi-Fuel Propulsion Systems for Clean and Silent Aircraft), conducting research on the climate or acoustic impacts of disruptive aircraft engine technologies (respectively).

- 2 Summary of postdoctoral fellowship position/title: postdoc in activation design
- We are inviting applications for two postdoctoral positions (3-year contracts) in the Department of Architecture to explore the themes of ‘co-creation’ and ‘activating design’ in architectural practice. This position explores methods and approaches to co-creative design processes and the potential for stakeholder and other participant (user) engagement to develop and manage healthy and sustainable buildings, homes and inclusive urban environments. It explores and develops intelligent design models that consider the logical flow of information and ways of sharing it.

- 3 Postdoctoral Fellowship Position Summary/Title: Predicting the impact of advanced technologies
- The Department of Human-Centred Design at Delft University of Technology is looking for an enthusiastic postdoc to develop tools that will help predict the impact of advanced technologies on society, with a particular focus on the ethical, legal and social aspects of quantum technologies (ELSA). The postdoc will design, develop and validate generative tools to help different stakeholders generate visions of the future of technology, in particular quantum computing, quantum networks and quantum sensors. In collaboration with various teams at Delft University of Technology and Quantum Delta Netherlands, the postdoc will.

- 4 Postdoctoral fellowship position summary/title: DEM modelling of monopile penetration into scour protection layers for offshore wind installations (OPIS-1 project)
- The current practice of constructing scour protection layers around (mono)piles for offshore wind turbine (OWT) foundations is to place rock layers in two separate operations. As a result, the installation of a Rock Dumping Vessel (RDV) for scour protection requires two visits to each wind turbine location. For cost, efficiency and logistical reasons it is advantageous to place the scour protection on the seabed in a single visit prior to installing the offshore foundation.
- Your main objective is to explore and numerically evaluate design and operational options for optimising the pile penetration process. This requires, firstly, the development of discrete element models that capture and predict the penetration forces required to penetrate the scour protection layer. To do this, you will develop calibrated and validated DEM simulations based on the extensive experimental activities of the OPIS-1 project. Secondly, this model will also be used as an input to assess pile tip integrity while penetrating scour layers of different thicknesses and grades.

- 5 Postdoctoral Fellowship Position Summary/Title: Ecology of Programmable Infrastructure and Administration of Justice
- This postdoctoral position is an opportunity to go beyond current approaches to studying the impact of cloud and mobile infrastructure. Candidates are invited to empirically study how these computing infrastructures extend to public organisations and to assess whether current digital policies (e.g. cloud-first policies in the public sector) are adequate to deal with their impact on the administration of justice. To this end, the project adopts a materialist approach with a focus on political economy. It aims to explore the technological, organisational and institutional changes brought about by the introduction of computing infrastructure and focuses on how these changes shape the administration of justice.

- This position is for a postdoctoral researcher in the Architectural Facades and Products Research Group (AF&P). For the past 15 years the Research Group Building Facades and Products at Delft University of Technology has been conducting applied research on multifunctional facade construction, renovation, additive manufacturing, recyclability and product service systems through numerous national and international research projects.

- 7 Postdoctoral Fellowship Position Summary/Title: Circular Asset Management and Procurement
- We invite you to apply for a two-year full-time postdoctoral position on the topic of circular asset management and procurement. Delft University of Technology has the ambition to transform its campus into a sustainable one. In order to achieve this goal, TU Delft is working with the Centre for the Circular Built Environment and Campus Real Estate (CRE) at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. The Delft University of Technology campus is a large campus with a large number of buildings and infrastructure that needs to be constantly adapted to new requirements and expanded. However, construction, renovation and maintenance tasks are increasingly becoming a challenge due to negative ecological impacts and social unrest with a large reduction in material availability. The principles of the circular economy (CE) are seen as a solution to both of these challenges. The circular economy works towards closing the loop of materials and products to end the linear economy; slowing down the pace of the loop to use materials and products for as long as possible; and using as many local materials and products as possible in as small a loop as possible geographically. The postdoctoral fellow will focus on procurement, new guidelines, processes, tenders and CRE, financial and strategic development of existing suppliers and how this can provide opportunities to reduce emissions and ecological impacts in general.

- 8 Postdoctoral Fellowship Position Summary/Title: Circular Campus
- We invite you to apply for a two-year full-time postdoctoral position on the topic of circular campuses. Delft University of Technology has the ambition to transform its campus into a sustainable campus. In order to achieve this goal, TU Delft is working with the Centre for the Circular Built Environment and Campus Real Estate (CRE) at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. The Delft University of Technology campus is a large campus with a large number of buildings and infrastructure that needs to be constantly adapted to new requirements and expanded. However, this building and renovation task is becoming increasingly challenging due to the negative ecological impact and the social unrest of a greatly reduced material supply. The principles of the circular economy (CE) are seen as a solution to both of these challenges. The circular economy works towards a closed cycle of materials and products to end the linear economy; slowing down the pace of the cycle to use materials and products for as long as possible; and using as many local materials and products as possible in as small a cycle as possible geographically.
