MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships at Faculty of Built Environment
The BEN faculty conducts high-quality scientific and applied research in the fields of architecture and civil engineering and provides higher education based on this research.
Our unique environment promotes collaboration and innovations and offers opportunities to pursue new avenues of multidisciplinary research and education. Our mission is to establish a reputation as a pioneer of research and teaching, both in architecture and in civil engineering, and achieve international visibility in our areas of expertise. We maintain close ties with the broader society and engage in extensive collaboration with industry and business.
The research in BEN is based on several state-of-the-art research infrastructures. Experimental research infrastructures are constantly being developed with the aim of responding to the demands of current research questions and the optimal usability of laboratories. The faculty's research infrastructures are in Rakennustalo building at the Hervanta campus of the University of Tampere.

Architecture
SPREAD – Spatial & Speculative Research in Architectural Design
SPREAD is a research group that combines practical knowledge and expertise with research in architectural design. It seeks for new ways of relating practical, theoretical and speculative knowledge in architectural design and research
Fernando Nieto Fernandez, Professor, Architectural Design
ASUTUT - Sustainable Housing Design
The Sustainable Housing Design research group ASUTUT conducts user-centric and process-oriented research that responds to and anticipates societal challenges in contemporary housing design in a rapidly changing world. Our aim is to help create more sustainable living environments, today and tomorrow. The group’s research topics include adaptable, flexible and inclusive housing design, models of co-housing and shared spaces, energy efficient and zero energy and zero carbon design, user satisfaction and performance evaluation and the impact of these diverse aspects on spatial and architectural quality and dwellers health and well-being. We also study how to best teach this knowledge in architecture education through pedagogical research.
We are open to innovative ideas by dynamic and outside-the-box thinkers. We are particularly interested in scholars working on energy and climate issues and bring their knowledge to the Nordic region (climate justice, climate change, overheating of buildings and passive mitigation etc.) and would seek to work together with Prof Jonathon Taylor at Urban Physics.

Low-Carbon and Healthy Buildings
We are open to innovative ideas by dynamic and outside-the-box thinkers. We are particularly interested in scholars working on energy and climate issues and bring their knowledge to the Nordic region (climate justice, climate change, overheating of buildings and passive mitigation). The position would be a collaboration between the ASUTUT and Urban Physics research groups.

Raul Castano de la Rosa, Dr Senior Research FellowTransport Research Centre Verne
Verne's core is to endeavor towards a more sustainable transport system and logistics and to educate professionals to this field. Verne’s research and education focus on transport system and logistics. We consider both passenger and freight transport in connection with the needs of people, business and society at large, the built environment and the infrastructure, transport policy and economics, and the development especially from the point of view of sustainability.
