Job summary

KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm invites a postdoctoral researcher to advance urban building energy modelling tools (UBEM) and data-driven simulations for energy renovations of historic buildings in Gamla stan, integrating open and physics-based data with district-scale analysis.

You will join SEED/ABE, collaborate across academia, industry and the public sector, and help translate results into scalable methods and guidance for Swedish authorities on EPBD in heritage environments.

Qualifications

A doctoral degree in energy systems, building/civil engineering, building physics, environmental engineering or closely related field.
Documented experience of building energy simulation and/or urban building energy modelling (UBEM).
Strong programming and data-analysis skills (e.g. MATLAB, Python or equivalent).
Very good command of spoken and written English as it is required in the day to day work.
As a person, you are collaborative and able to work independently.
A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree, obtained within the last three years prior to the application deadline.
Experience of energy efficiency or renovation of historic / cultural-heritage buildings.
Experience of physics-based building-stock modelling and work with open and geospatial (GIS) data.
Experience of hygrothermal / indoor-climate and moisture-risk assessment in buildings.
A documented record of scientific publications.
Ability to work in interdisciplinary teams together with industry and public-sector partners.
Knowledge of the Swedish building stock and regulatory context; knowledge of Swedish is an asset.
Awareness of diversity and equal opportunity issues, with specific focus on gender equality
