Applicants are being sought for a PhD at the School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Newcastle University to develop a spatial data model and resulting software system for an integrated GIS/BIM (Building Information Model) representation of cities across multiple scales. This PhD research will extend work on geometric entity representation within existing accepted industry standards (e.g., IFC, CityGML and GeoBIM) to develop the urgently required data model and resulting software to represent the topological linkages between the internal flows of resources within buildings and their connectivity to the broad-scale fabric of a city, and in particular the infrastructure networks and systems they rely upon. Proof of concept studies will be based on the Newcastle University Science Central Urban Observatory development and also the Ordnance Survey building employing a range of sensor data. The PhD is being funded by EPSRC with additional support from Ordnance Survey. The studentship provides funding for up to 4-years, covering the cost of UK/EU tuition fees, plus a tax-free stipend of £17,000 per annum. There will also be an additional £3,500 per annum for research training, conference attendance and travel. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to undertake an industrial 3-month placement within the Ordnance Survey research team at the end of year 2. Each year there will be further 1-week placements at Ordnance Survey. Further details, including how to apply, are available online at http://www.ncl.ac.uk/ceg/study/postgraduate/scholarships/funded/769/ The application deadline is 31st August.
