Dear all,
the Chair of Computer Science in Architecture (InfAR - Planning Systems) at the Bauhaus-University Weimar is offering a position for a teaching assistant / PhD Candidate (50%, 20h / week). The position starts at 01.10.2016 and is initially limited to 2 years. The position can be extended up to 100% (40h / week) if the candidate is able and willing to work in a research project on simulation of urban developments in emerging countries.
Task description:
You are teaching basic and advanced concepts for using parametric modelling in planning and design contexts in seminars for bachelor- and master students (architecture & urbanism). The seminars contain a theretical and a practice-oriented part. Theory includes design modelling, algorithmic geometry, generative design principles and optimization. The practical part focuses on the usage of the parametric modelling tool Grasshopper for Rhino and basics in scripting (C# or Python programming components in Grasshopper). The seminar is accompanying design studios. The main focus of these design studios lies on parametric urban modelling in the context of emerging cities in Ethiopia. An Examplary work can be seen here: https://issuu.com/ademus/docs/syn_2016-07-12_final_all/1
Currently we are starting a research project on the simulation of urban developments in emerging countries. In case the applicant is able and willing to take part in this project the position can be extended as described above.
Requirements:
You hold a university degree in computer science, architecture, civil engineering or similar. You have strong skills in geometrical modelling, sound knowledge in programming (e.g. C#, Python), are detail-oriented and able to think at an abstract scientific level. Your English skills (spoken and written) are very good. Furthermore you are highly motivated, showing individual initiative and willingness for multidisciplinary teamwork.
