OPEN CALL: PhD Positions at Umeå School of Architecture

Umeå School of Architecture (UMA) at Umeå University is excited to announce four PhD positions in architecture. As we celebrate the relaunch of our doctoral programme, we invite candidates from around the globe with an interest in contributing to research in areas such as sustainable design, social inclusion, and climate adaptation.

At UMA, you will be part of a vibrant community where creativity, sustainability, and interdisciplinary collaboration are at the core of our philosophy. These positions offer a unique blend of academic excellence, hands-on research opportunities, and the chance to contribute to the broader architectural discourse.

The PhD Programme in Architecture aims to educate architectural scholars who are not only deeply knowledgeable in their specific areas of research, but also adept at navigating the complex intersections of architecture, urbanism, landscape, and technology from both a theoretical and practice perspective within diverse cultural, social, and political contexts. Through collaboration with their peers, PhD students can nurture and advance their individual projects within a supportive environment of collective research.

For full details, including complete project descriptions, eligibility criteria and instructions on how to apply, please visit our website or contact Director of Doctoral Studies, Daniel Movilla Vega at daniel.movilla@umu.se. The application deadline is April 28, 2024.
