Postdoctoral Researcher
Life Cycle Energy Modelling & Information Management in Buildings
ITOBO is a Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) Strategic Research Cluster targeted towards Sustainable and Optimised Building Operation (2008-2010). ITOBO will undertake research in Information and Communication Technology that will support the development of a holistic, methodological framework for life-cycle oriented information management and decision support in the construction and energy-management sectors. The domain-specific goal is to develop future smart buildings that operate in an energy efficient and user-friendly basis while reducing its maintenance costs.
The successful candidate will lead a team of PhD researchers (x4) in the development of integrated life cycle holistic environmental & energy management systems for buildings (software and hardware) underpinned by rigorous standardisation procedures.
A relevant track record and a deep understanding of building physics, building energy simulation and building information modelling is essential whilst experience in modelling building occupant behaviour and building management systems (BMS) is desirable.
The duration of the post will be for a maximum of period of 36 months and the successful applicant will be invited to take up the post as soon as possible.
Salary Scale: �40, 578-�49,341 p.a. commensurate with experience.
