--
University of Innsbruck, Institute of Design / Department Structure and Design (Univ.Prof. Kristina Schinegger and Univ.Prof. Stefan Rutzinger)
We are searching for designers and researchers to join our team!
There are three open vacancies at the Department Structure and Design - positions start in January 2017 (deadline for applications is 24.December 2016):
University Assistant - Doctoral Cand. (50 %), 4 Years - FOCUS DESIGN AND COMPUTATION
Tasks:
Conducting research and writing a doctoral thesis in the field of structure and design with a focus on computation and within the research field of the unit, e.g. feedback between analogue and digital processes, complex modelling strategies, deployment of self-organisation and material properties in design and fabrication, innovative basic research in structural systems, digital design and fabrication methods.
Teaching design courses and seminars which enable students to implement computational tools into their design processes.
Administrative tasks, such as organisation of exhibitions, contributing to publications.
Required qualifications:
University degree in architecture (Master or Diploma). Excellent skills in computational design tools (e.g. algorithmic modelling, scripting,…) and basic knowledge in complex modelling. Profound knowledge and expertise in architectural design and its interplay with performative and structural aspects. Pedagogic qualities and interest in passing knowledge and expertise to students. A profound understanding of contemporary architectural discourse is expected, such as an heightened interest in developing of innovative architectural strategies. Academic experience at an internationally recognised university or professional experience at an internationally recognised design practice is preferable.
