Job description

To complement our recent new hires of PhD researchers and faculty members, the DCM team is now hiring another Tenure Track Assistant Professorship in the complementary area of organisation studies in the built environment. In this Tenure Track position, you will be part of the DCM team in pursuit of its mission: to develop useful academic concepts, tools and principles for the management of the design, construction, renovation and maintenance of architectural (re)developments to meet the demand for a high performance, flexible, sustainable and circular built environment.

You will have demonstrated potential for developing research leadership in organisation studies in the built environment in the context of sustainability transitions (including, though not exclusively, circularity, energy transition, digital transformation). In particular, we welcome applications from candidates who are familiar with the fields of project studies and innovation studies to contribute to new ways of working drawing on project (temporary organising) and process (permanent organisation) perspectives. Furthermore, you are able to connect your expertise with current industry and technological developments, where longstanding challenges of process integration, life-cycle thinking, and project and information management across the value chain have the potential to be addressed by framing new value propositions and translating these into practice. You will also have an interest in and preferably experience of interdisciplinary research and education, and meaningful engagements with industry and societal stakeholders. You will build your personal academic profile, recognized by the international academic community and communities of practice. To this end, you will:

  • publish in authoritative international journals, play a role in international conferences and networks, and collaborate with the professional community in developing applications of your academic findings.
  • initiate and co-author proposals for research grants and funding, and be responsible for particular courses, educational tasks and coordinating activities in teaching in both the BSc. and MSc. Programmes within the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment.

A Tenure Track is a process leading up to a permanent appointment with the prospect of becoming an Associate and/or Full Professor. It offers young, talented academics a clear and attractive career path. In Delft, you will have the opportunity to develop into an internationally acknowledged and recognised academic, for which you will be supported by a structured career and personal development programme. For more information about the Tenure Track and the personal development programme, please visit: https://www.tudelft.nl/en/about-tu-delft/working-at-tu-delft/tenure-track/.

Requirements

Applicants should have a PhD degree obtained at an internationally recognised institution, with research skills in fields relevant to the AEC industry in general, and organisation studies relevant to the AEC industry in particular. We are open to a broad range of fields including e.g. economics, engineering, innovation studies, management and organisation studies, science and technology studies, and studies of sociotechnical and sustainability transitions. Applicants should also demonstrate an interest in the areas that the section is seeking to grow influence in (as described in the job description above), evidenced in the academic peer-reviewed publications. In addition, the applicant should have thorough knowledge of and clear ideas for expanding the field of design and construction management. Practical experience with managing AEC projects or processes will be highly valued, as well as experience in teaching academic courses and supervising graduation research projects. The applicant should also be able to show management and administrative skills required for the position, and demonstrated competence in written and spoken English, and the willingness to learn Dutch.

Conditions of employment

A tenure-track position is offered for six years. A Tenure Track offers young, talented academics a clear and attractive career path. Based on performance indicators agreed upon at the start of the appointment, a decision will be made by the fifth year whether to offer you a permanent faculty position.

Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment

Architecture and the Built Environment

The Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment is looking for an assistant professor in the interdisciplinary field of Design and Construction Management. TU Delft’s Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment strives to make significant contributions to solving some of the world’s most pressing societal problems. It does so by conducting original design, engineering and management research in and for the built environment, and by providing Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD programs to students from all over the world. The faculty’s internationally-renowned position (ranked 3rd in the world and 1st in the Netherlands according to the QS subject rankings in 2021) highlights the excellent facilities, offering an interdisciplinary network for its 500 employees and 3.000 students. The faculty generates ideas, solutions, and knowledge for and with all relevant industries in the pursuit of a sustainable, resilient and enabling built environment.

With its academic research and education programs, the Department of Management in the Built Environment (MBE) helps to meet the growing demand for architects, urban planners and building engineers with knowledge and skills related to managing design, planning, and (re)development processes in the built environment.

Design and Construction Management (DCM)

The Architectural Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is facing higher performance demands for its products and services with respect to the transition to a more sustainable and more highly-urbanised built environment. To respond to these challenges, the Design and Construction Management (DCM) section takes a whole-life approach to contribute to ongoing sustainability transitions and the goals of creating a circular economy that emphasises greater responsiveness, reliablity, quality and resource efficiency. We therefore undertake research and education around new ways of reconfiguring work processes in designing, constructing, renovating, maintaining, adapting and decommissioning the built environment. These new ways of working also call for new approaches to understand organisational transformations that facilitate more integrative methods of connecting people and technologies to drive better built environment and societal outcomes.

The DCM section’s ambition to address social, environmental and technological change in producing future built environments is realised by engaging with four challenging themes. These include examining questions of (1) technological change and its impacts on ways of designing, constructing and managing built assets; (2) institutions, institutional work and institutional change; (3) how people cope with organisational and technological change, and (4) configurations of system-of-systems in producing the built environment.
