You will be part of a dynamic research team working on topics relevant to the Sustainable Built Environment (SBE). The SBE team focuses on building energy modelling and simulation, decarbonization strategies for the built environment and R&D of green building technologies such as HVAC systems, thermal energy storage, data-driven building control systems and other novel solutions for the urban built environment sector.

This position is to recruit a member of the research team to work on a project on sustainable indoor farming.
• * Key Responsibilities:
• ** You will need to actively support SBE projects at ERI@N in terms of project R&D, technology evaluation, project coordination, and stakeholder interfacing.
• The role will include the following: + Perform as subject matter expert for ongoing projects e.g. in CFD or energy modelling; coordination with project partners, industry and other external stakeholders. + Provide inputs for conceptualization of research proposals related to sustainable urban solutions, green buildings, low-carbon district level solutions and agritech applications. + Lead in preparation and submission of new research proposals.

+ Conduct research, analysis and assessment on embodied carbon for buildings, urban farming and other applications. + Lead technical analysis and research on green building technologies, decarbonization strategies for new and existing buildings and smart building systems incorporating AI/ML/energy analytics. + Engage stakeholders at management and working levels internally as well as with external funding agencies, collaborators and industry partners, including delivering presentations and guiding discussions or workshops as necessary.

+ Lead in authoring of technical publications for completed or ongoing research projects.
• You will be an integral part of the SBE team and will need to participate in project discussions especially related to project implementation details.
• Familiarity with green building technology, HVAC system study and optimization, sustainable building design, building energy modelling, CFD modelling, BIM and embodied carbon/lifecycle assessment for built environment applications is preferred.
• Knowledge in EN 15978 or similar standards for carbon assessment or lifecycle analysis.
• Prior experience in sustainability standards and green building accreditations would be advantageous.
• * Job Requirements
• ** PhD degree in engineering (e.g. Mechanical, Clean/Renewable Energy or Building related) or sustainable buildings design.
• Experience in sustainable design/analysis for the built environment, Green Mark or LEED projects, M&E construction and development (min 2yrs preferred).
• Proficient in MS Office applications, CFD software, BIM software and energy modelling software.
• Should be a very hands-on person, willing to take on non-routine tasks.
• Possess good communication (written and verbal) skills. Able to manage multiple stakeholders and work under tight timelines.
• Positive attitude, ability to work independently as well as in a team.
