Research Assistants (2 Posts) The Bartlett School of Architecture , Building, Environmental Design and Planning. Faculty of the Built Environment University College London Spatial analysis and simulation We are aiming to fill two research posts working on related aspects of the theory of urban and architectural space. Both posts are on the RA1A scale at a starting salary in the range #20,865 - #26,361 p.a. including London Allowance, and are to be filled as soon as possible. The objectives are to develop new methods of analysis of spatial fields at the scale at which people and social organisations interact with the built environment. A demonstrated ability to program research software with excellent graphical user interfaces is essential. One post will concentrate on the development of analytical methods, and a background in a mathematical discipline such as physics or electronic engineering would be an advantage the second will concentrate on the development of simulation techniques using spatially aware agents, and a background in psychology or neuroscience would be advantageous. Both posts will be of 2 years duration in the first instance, subject to an initial 3 month probationary period. The proposed work is related to a programme of research taking place at the VR Centre for the Built Environment and the Space Syntax Laboratory and has been recently supported by the award of Platform funding by the EPSRC. Ideally candidates would have a doctorate in an appropriate field, however relevant previous experience in software development and research will be taken into account.
