PhD Position in New Meanings of Value in the Built Environment

Pays-Bas
Posted 1 Jahr ago

We are looking for a doctoral candidate for a fully funded position (0.8 – 1.0 FTE) to conduct individual research focused on understanding new meanings of value in the built environment.

In commercial property markets the focus is placed on assessing real estate as an investment asset. This type of thinking leads to discussions in industry and studies in academia centered around the identification of market and investment values, return and risk assessments, or financial portfolio management. Research demonstrates that this type of thinking limits investments that could yield in energy efficiency in buildings or broader sustainable and circular actions in real estate. Expenditures supporting these actions are often seen as affecting investment returns, creating tangible and hidden costs and risks to the investor and therefore lacking a compelling business case.

Traditional appraisal methods are too focused on determining property values based on physical building-specific features (e.g., size of the building, energy consumption, or number of rooms), taking a perspective of an exchange value of a building but ignoring intangible aspects that can create a different value for the customer. As value is traditionally understood as a monetary expression of customers’ willingness to pay, those intangible aspects of a tangible asset (building) should also be included in pricing and appraisal.

Therefore, a value-based pricing approach could be a potential way to encourage commercial real estate markets to move away from cost and competition to more value-based logics. A value-based approach is common for service and customer-experience driven economies where value is understood as subjective (and changing) to the user/buyer. However, this type of approach requires a different view to what we define as value and/or different approach to the overall valuation process. With this research, we aim at creating a framework that could serve as a tool for further development of new valuation/appraisal approaches for commercial real estate. To reach this, multiple steps need to be taken:

  • Untangling value understanding of commercial buildings to different stakeholders and trade-offs they are willing to make
  • Identifying the potential and limitations of value-based approach in comparison to traditional appraisal methods
  • Defining metrics that could capture previously identified value properties/attributes
  • Formulating suitable measures for improved commercial real estate value appraisal

This research would require knowledge and understanding of economic and business administration perspective, knowledge on commercial property markets and systems thinking in order to understand the complexity of the built environment and take a holistic approach towards it.

As part of the TU Delft, faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, department of Management in the Built Environment, we focus on rethinking, developing and applying new economic and financial value concepts for a future-proof built environment. We are constantly searching for adjustments in the system to enable flexibility and resilience of the built environment, creating benefits for people, industry and the society as a whole. As a PhD candidate, you will join our competent team with different backgrounds in economics, financial and civil engineering, management and architecture.

Requirements

  • Dutch is a plus because we will conduct case studies and interviews with the Dutch practice;
  • Theoretical and practical skills in various research methodologies, preferably in qualitative research (e.g., interviews, focus groups and content, thematic, interpretative analysis) and soft systems modelling (e.g., agent-based modelling, scenario planning) and motivation to conduct academic research and obtain a PhD degree
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills;
  • Good academic writing skills, strong communication abilities, independent attitude paired with an ability to work in an interdisciplinary research team;

PhD Candidate: The Ethics of Sustainable Decision- making in Surgical Operating Rooms

Pays-Bas
Posted 1 Jahr ago

Surgical operating rooms contribute considerably to the emission of greenhouse gases, pollution and waste. Clinicians, hospitals and patients, however, have to weigh the benefits of reducing the environmental impacts of medical treatments against many other considerations such as costs and health benefits. Which moral principles can guide us on how to include environmental considerations in these decisions?

After thoroughly investigating the state of the art at the crossroads of environmental and medical ethics, you will perform moral analysis to find answers to the following kind of questions. What are the respective responsibilities of hospitals, individual medical professionals, governments or patients, given the fact that environmental problems are social dilemmas? To what extent is a health professional in position to balance the common good against the wellbeing of patients? How does green decision-making fit the four principles of ethics in healthcare that are commonly distinguished since Beauchamp and Childress's seminal analysis, i.e. autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice? The objective is to formulate practical guidelines.

This project is part of a larger NWO-funded research project called CAREFREE (Creating A healthieR Environment for FutuRE patiEnts)) led by Maastricht University. The overall objective of the CAREFREE project is to increase the sense of urgency among stakeholders to behave more sustainably. The project has a multidisciplinary approach, combining methods from social psychology, ethics and philosophy, sustainability, surgery, anaesthesiology, pharmacology and toxicology, health economics and operations research. Therefore, you will collaborate in a multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary setting, obtaining insights from and offering insights to researchers and actors in other fields than your own, such as psychologists, economists and clinicians.

This position is free of teaching duties.

Requirements

Specific Requirements
  • You hold a Master's degree in ethics or political philosophy.
  • You have a demonstrable interest in environmental and/or medical ethics.
  • You have a demonstrable interest and experience in academic research (e.g. through good thesis research).
  • You are highly motivated to conduct interdisciplinary research and interested in collaborating with scholars and practitioners in other fields.
  • You possess good collaborative and communication skills.

Additional Information

Benefits
  • It concerns an employment for 1.0 FTE.
  • The gross starting salary amounts to €2,541 per month based on a 38-hour working week, and will increase to €3,247 in the fourth year (salary scale P).
  • You will receive 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end-of-year bonus.
  • You will be employed for an initial period of 18 months, after which your performance will be evaluated. If the evaluation is positive, the contract will be extended by 2.5 years (4 year contract).
  • You will be able to use our Dual Career and Family Care Services. Our Dual Career and Family Care Officer can assist you with family-related support, help your partner or spouse prepare for the local labour market, provide customized support in their search for employment and help your family settle in Nijmegen.
  • Working for us means getting extra days off. In case of full-time employment, you can choose between 30 or 41 days of annual leave instead of the legally allotted 20.
Work and science require good employment practices. This is reflected in Radboud University's primary and secondary employment conditions. You can make arrangements for the best possible work-life balance with flexible working hours, various leave arrangements and working from home. You are also able to compose part of your employment conditions yourself, for example, exchange income for extra leave days and receive a reimbursement for your sports subscription.

Two-year Postdoc Position in Computational Social Science, Department of Political Science, Aarhus University

Danemark
Posted 1 Jahr ago

The Department of Political Science at Aarhus University invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to join a research team studying how and why politicians learn from policies from abroad. The position will focus on (1) theorizing the mechanisms underlying politicians' selection and use of policies from other countries to understand how they reconcile competing considerations (2) examining the selection and use of policies from abroad through computational analysis, (3) and on turning this research into high impact publications that advance our understanding of how and why politicians learn from policies from abroad. The position also includes teaching the equivalent to one course per year. The starting date is 1 February 2024 but can be flexible subject to mutual agreement.

The Research Project

The position is part of the research project “POLABROAD - How and Why Politicians Learn from Policies Abroad” led by Associate Professor Roman Senninger and funded by a grant from the Carlsberg Foundation. Important societal challenges, such as inflation, climate change, and pandemics, transcend national borders. As these shared problems affect different countries, policymakers often look to foreign policy solutions. But how and why do politicians select and use policies from abroad? Existing research studies international policy diffusion at highly aggregated levels (e.g., countries). Consequently, both academic and public debates lack a coherent understanding of the central actors who decide on the implementation of policies from abroad. Broadly speaking, the project seeks to understand the mechanisms underlying politicians' selection and use of policies from other countries with a focus on how they reconcile competing considerations. The primary responsibility of the postdoctoral researcher will involve an in-depth examination of whether and how politicians address foreign policies in parliamentary debates and other forms of communication (e.g., social media). This segment of the project employs robust and reliable research designs, with a strong emphasis on computational analysis.

The Job

The postdoctoral researcher will be employed as part of a research group and is expected to engage in collaborative research with Associate Professor Roman Senninger, as well as the other members of the research team. The postdoc will be expected to take a leading role in developing, designing, coordinating research and publishing research in high impact journals. Moreover, as part of the research group, the postdoc is expected to provide support  for project-related organizational and administrative tasks. The successful applicant will be part of a cutting-edge research project and a supportive research team. There will be excellent opportunities for intellectual development and mentoring as well as developing an independent research agenda within the context of the project. The project offers funding for a stay abroad, conferences, additional training, and good opportunities for developing a strong academic network. In addition to the outlined research tasks, the position entails teaching the equivalent of one course per year. Depending on the applicants’ prior teaching experience and the need for the applicants’ teaching capacity in the relevant years, a one-year extension in return for additional teaching might be negotiable. This extension will be decided by the Head of Department no later than one year after employment. The job comes with a competitive salary according to the Danish pay schedule.

Your qualifications

Applicants are expected to hold (or being close to completing) a PhD in political science or another field relevant to the project. In addition to this the applicant should:

  • have experience in studying political behavior
  • have experience with text data and computational analysis
  • have experience with programming (e.g., R or Python)
  • have experience with large-scale data management
  • have excellent command of spoken and written English
  • have an interest in understanding how politicians learn from abroad
  • have an interest in conducting collaborative research
  • have an interest in and the ability to acquire new methodological skills

As part of your application, you should attach a CV, proof of PhD degree (or the near completion of a PhD degree) and your best publication (could be an unpublished chapter of your dissertation, a working paper, or a published article). In addition to this, you should provide a short research proposal (1-2 pages) that outline potential avenues for research related to the project. The proposal should be relatively concrete, specifying research design and data collection.
