Introduction

ETH Zurich is one of the leading universities of the world with a strong focus on science and engineering. In 2010 it established the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) in collaboration with the National Research Foundation (NRF) to do interdisciplinary research on pressing problems.

The centre currently runs several research programmes with the Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) as one of the programmes. It is home to a community of over 100 PhD, postdoctoral and Professorial researchers working on diverse themes related to sustainable cities and resilient infrastructure systems. In the course of their work, researchers actively collaborate with universities, research institutes, industry, and government agencies with the aim of offering practical solutions.

Project background

The project “Comparative Ecology of Cities” is centred on the proposition that urban pattern-process-function relationships provide valuable knowledge to advance the science of urban planning. The project builds upon emerging theoretical and empirical evidence that patterns of human settlement systems (urban patterns) shape social and ecological processes (urban processes), and such processes in turn, dictate the key demands of urban living such as social relations, mobility, economic exchanges, biophysical environment, ecological conditions, etc. (urban functions). The project will investigate such pattern-process-function relationships across a number of cities to develop generalizations that can be used as urban planning and design principles to guide sustainable urban development, which will be tested in design studios. The main methods employed are remote sensing, spatial pattern analyses, data mining from global datasets, applications of mechanistic and empirical models, and statistical modelling for 5 key domains: urban climate, hydrology, biodiversity, public health and social-economic exchanges.

Job Description

• To coordinate the synthesis phase of the project by integrating information from the different domains of the study, which are in progress to identify trade-offs and synergies, and develop the guidelines and decision making tools for application of the results in land use planning and management.
• To work with team members to publish scientific papers related to the synthesis work.
• To assist in the completion of project report and presentation.
• To assist in project administration.

Requirements

• PhD in relevant disciplines, such as, urban climatology, urban system science, urban hydrology, and urban planning.
• Minimum 2 years of relevant working experience.
• Experience in interdisciplinary project work post PhD and a track record of interdisciplinary research will be evaluated positively.
• A track record in publications commensurate with distance from PhD.

We look forward to receiving your online application with the following documents:

A dossier containing the following pdf documents:

• Your CV, including the publication list
• A motivation letter
• Minimum of 2 referee letters
• 2 samples of publications

Applications via email or postal services will not be considered.
