Chair and Institute of Sustainability in Civil Engineering

Our Profile:

The Institute of Sustainability in Civil Engineering (INaB) deals with the topics of environmental protection and sustainable development.

The protection of our planet and its sustainable development are on the political agenda, but the implementation of these goals remains a major challenge in daily practice.

We are therefore involved in sustainability assessment and research to implement methods that lead to the measurement and improvement of sustainability performance in areas such as buildings, mobility, the food and têxtile industries.

In this way, we want to contribute to social change so that future societies and ecosystems can coexist resiliently and in harmony with each other.

Your Profile:

You have a university degree (Master's degree or equivalent) in engineering and a completed PhD (or equivalent qualification).
You should also have several years of practical experience in the field of sustainability in the construction industry.
You have experience in international working groups involving public and private stakeholders e.g. the UN and EU umbrella programs.
You have acquired proven expertise in sustainability assessments across various sectors, based on the Life Cycle Thinking approach.
In particular, practical knowledge of Life cycle assessment, Social life cycle assessment, Life cycle thinking, environmental product declarations (EPD), sustainable building schemes (LEED, BREEAM etc.) is required.
Ideally, you are already familiar with the university landscape and have gained experience in teaching and in related pedagogic processes as well as in the acquisition and implementation of thirdparty funded projects. Experience in collaborations with developing countries, in particular African countries, is a plus.
You have the ability to work in an international team and support international exchange activities and students.
Besides research and academia related activities, you have experience in organizational and administrative tasks.
You show independence and personal responsibility in carrying out tasks with a focus on respecting deadlines.
You are willing to participate in the "Teaching at RWTH" program offered by Excellent Academic Teaching at the Center for Teaching and Learning Services (CLS).
