Jobs

Here you find a series of open positions in the research groups supporting the development of CEA.

 

  • Starting in September 2021 or under agreement, we are looking for a talented individual to join a new research project: Building-Integrated Agriculture (BIA) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC). Through urban agriculture and urban design, this research opportunity supports Singapore to meet the “30 by 30” Goal of food self-sufficiency. The research outcome will be integrated into the City Energy Analyst platform.

    Please note that we exclusively accept applications submitted to email: building.integrated.agriculture@gmail.com.

    Questions regarding the position should be directed to Dr Zhang Qianning via akizhang@nus.edu.sg (no applications) or Dr Shi Zhongming via shi@arch.ethz.ch (no applications).
