Iraq

The University of Kurdistan Hewlêr (UKH) is the first and only public, English-medium, and independent University in Iraq. The University was founded in 2006 by the current President of the Kurdistan Regional Government, His Excellency Nechirvan Barzani. It is dedicated to being the region’s leading centre of excellence in research and teaching and is committed to the dissemination and application of knowledge to further the industrial, economic, cultural, environmental and social development of the region.

Over the past fifteen years it has grown to over 2,200 students and around 180 staff. Through a cadre of highly motivated and internationally trained and recognised academic and research staff, UKH provides research training (MSc’s and PhD’s) and generates research that will advance knowledge and inform policy and decision makers in the region.
Hence, research at UKH focuses on and engages in promoting and supporting sustainable development and responding to market needs in the region and beyond.

The School of Social Sciences (SSS) is one of four schools at UKH and is home to a cohesive team of faculty members with strong academic credentials and extensive experience. Since its inception, the goal of the School of Social Sciences (SSS) has been to prepare students to become leaders of the Kurdistan Region and Iraq, but also to understand and meet the challenges of our globalised world.

The English Language Department is one of departments in SSS and offers three degree programmes, two at the undergraduate level and the other at the postgraduate level - BA in English, BA in English and Foreign Languages (German, French, Russian, Italian and Spanish) and at the postgraduate level the department offers two streams; the MA in Applied Linguistics/TESOL or the MA in English Literature.

We are looking to appoint a Lecturer/Assistant Professor/Associate Professor/Professor in Applied Linguistics. UKH is making significant investment in new academic positions to support its strategic development within the next five years to enable the School to be a key player in the field of English, Applied Linguistics and TESOL, nationally, and internationally.  The role holder will contribute to the success and the growth of the School, especially in the areas of specialisation.

PhD Position in Hygrothermal Building Physics for Resilient Renovations 

About the Position

Climate change is introducing unprecedented challenges to the built environment. In the Nordics, warmer summers and frequent heatwaves present new risks of overheating in buildings that were not designed for these conditions. Additionally, extreme rainfall and changing humidity levels may accelerate the degradation of facades in existing structures. To ensure a sustainable future, our buildings must be resilient, healthy, comfortable, sustainable, and energy-efficient. Addressing these complex challenges requires an interdisciplinary approach and systemic solutions.

This PhD research project at the Department of Civil Engineering will examine how hygrothermal building physics can inform material-based renovation strategies to address these demands. This work might involve a collaboration with TalTech in Estonia, and other foreign institutions. Research activities may include experimental testing on building materials, on-site measurements in existing buildings, and numerical simulations. The role may also involve supporting Master’s thesis students in their research and contributing to funding proposals.

The PhD funding duration is three years, with the possibility of a one-year extension upon mutual agreement. Contract is first made for two years, and then continued upon successful progress of the studies and research. There will be a compulsory midterm review which will be completed during the second year. More information: Midterm review of doctoral studies.

Qualifications

The position is open to candidates with a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering, Architectural Engineering, Energy Engineering, or related fields. We advise applicants to apply after obtaining their Masters’degree, but if your graduation is expected shortly, we may still consider your application.

The applicant for doctoral studies must satisfy the admission requirements of Aalto University, please see Aalto Doctoral Programme in Engineering - How to apply. Do note that the applicants are not expected to apply to the Aalto doctoral programme at this point – only the successful candidate will do this at the next application window.

Strong written and spoken English skills are required.

Preferred Experience

Experience in any of the following fields would be advantageous in the selection process:


	Dynamic hygrothermal or HAM (heat, air, and moisture) simulations
	Energy/Building performance simulations
	Laboratory testing on materials (especially earth-based, bio-based, or other porous materials)
	Experimental research related to building physics
	Programming (e.g., Python, MATLAB)
	Indoor comfort analysis
	Life cycle assessment
	Heritage conservation
