Staff Scientist
Chalmers University of Technology strives for academic excellence while addressing the challenges and needs of society and industry. We offer a creative and dynamic environment for research, education, innovation, and applied science. We are now looking for a Staff Scientist to join our team and help strengthen our ongoing research.
About the role
As a Staff Scientist, you will become part of a professional research environment where your specialist competence contributes to the quality and continuity of ongoing and planned scientific work. You will support research activities with your expertise and work closely with colleagues and research leaders.
We are looking for a Staff Scientist with specialist knowledge in Urban Morphology, Urban Analytics and Social-Ecological Sensing. You will provide scientific and methodological support in spatial modelling, the integration and analysis of spatial, longitudinal and sensor-based datasets, and empirical studies using field-based sensor technologies. A key part of the role is to contribute to the development and maintenance of a shared research infrastructure supporting projects across the research group.
Your responsibilities
As a Staff Scientist, you will provide advanced scientific, technical and methodological support to strengthen the group's research activities.
Your responsibilities include:
Develop, implement and maintain methods, datasets and spatial models for the quantitative analysis of the built and natural environment.
Develop and maintain workflows for integrating, processing and analysing large spatial, longitudinal and sensor-based datasets.
Develop and implement methods for social-ecological sensing, including field-based collection and processing of data on ecological conditions, environmental exposures, human activity and health.
Integrate sensor observations with spatial models to support empirical validation, model development and longitudinal monitoring.
Contribute specialist methodological expertise across the research group and collaborate with researchers in urban ecology, biodiversity, environmental health and related fields.
Provide scientific and methodological support to PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers in collaboration with the group's research leaders. This may also include co-supervision of PhD candidates, with a focus on specialist support.
Contribute specialist expertise to joint scientific publications and the communication of research findings.
Contribute to external research proposals and collaborations that strengthen the group's established and planned research activities.
Qualifications and merits
To qualify for this position, you should have:
A doctoral degree in Urban Planning, Urban Design, Architecture, Urban Studies, Geography or another closely related field, with a research profile relevant to quantitative urban morphology and/or social-ecological urban research.
Strong expertise in the quantitative analysis of urban form and spatial structure, including experience with GIS and spatial modelling.
Advanced experience in geospatial data processing, analysis and visualisation, including the integration of data from multiple spatial and temporal sources.
Experience developing and applying quantitative methods and reproducible analytical workflows, including programming in Python, R or similar.
Experience with empirical data collection and/or sensor-based methods relevant to studying environmental, ecological or human processes in urban environments.
Experience conducting advanced scientific analyses and contributing to peer-reviewed research.
Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively across disciplinary boundaries and provide scientific and methodological support within a research environment.
Proficiency in written and spoken English (Swedish language courses are offered).
The following qualifications are considered meritorious:
Experience with field-based sensing and monitoring, for example environmental, acoustic, pedestrian or mobility sensing.
Experience integrating sensor observations with GIS-based spatial models, including model validation and longitudinal monitoring.
Expertise in areas relevant to Social-Ecological Urbanism, such as biodiversity and urban ecology, environmental exposure and health, pedestrian movement or human-environment interactions.
Experience developing and maintaining spatial databases, data infrastructures or automated geospatial workflows.
Experience with longitudinal spatial analysis and large or complex geospatial datasets.
Experience co-supervising junior researchers and contributing to interdisciplinary research proposals.
Peer-reviewed publications in leading journals.
Experience in writing research applications.
