[ETH Diversity] Professor or Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Architecture and Digital Transformation at ETH Zurich

[Schuler Susanne (Prs)]

Professor or Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Architecture and Digital
Transformation

 

The Department of Architecture ( <http://www.arch.ethz.ch> www.arch.ethz.ch)
at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned position. The
professorship is located at the Institute of Technology in Architecture ITA
( <http://www.ita.arch.ethz.ch> www.ita.arch.ethz.ch).

 

Architecture is facing a digital transformation influencing all phases, from
early design, planning, construction, and operation, to the disassembly of
buildings. Artificial intelligence, extended reality, and digital
fabrication have the potential to drastically influence the way we design
and build. Theoretical and practice-oriented research is needed to
instrumentalize this development for addressing societal challenges and to
shape a sustainable digital building culture.

 

The new professor is expected to conduct ground-breaking disciplinary and
transdisciplinary research in architecture with strong expertise in
computational design and in one or more contemporary digital developments,
and to establish a research agenda with the potential to foster the
discipline’s future digital agency, critically addressing material,
environmental, and/or socio-economic challenges and the emerging potential
of digital technologies in architecture and the built environment.

 

Teaching will engage an encompassing view of digital design technologies’
impact on architecture and their future role within the building lifecycle.
The new professor is mainly responsible for teaching in the Bachelor’s and
Master’s degree programme in Architecture. The professor will be expected to
supervise doctoral students and to have strong interest in interdisciplinary
collaboration with professorships among the Department of Architecture and
throughout ETH. Close collaboration with the existing chairs at the
Institute of Technology in Architecture (ITA) is of particular importance as
well as strong interest in infrastructural synergies by collaborating with
the globally unique infrastructure for experimental research including the
Robotic Fabrication Laboratory (RFL), the Immersive Design Lab (IDL), and
the Zero Carbon Building Systems Lab.

 

Successful candidates are experienced in practice and/or academia whose
research and scholarship explore the digital transformation of design and
construction across the building lifecycle. Additional qualifications
include a university degree with a doctoral degree or comparable experience
in architecture practice as well as competence in leading a team and
excellent didactical skills. Contribution to the development of the
Department of Architecture beyond the boundaries of the discipline is
expected. In general, at ETH Zurich courses are taught in German or English.

 

Assistant professorships have been established to promote the careers of
younger scientists. ETH Zurich implements a tenure track system equivalent
to that of other top international universities.

 

ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer, values
diversity, and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.
