Research Opportunities at the SENSEable City Lab
Projects carried out at the lab are intended to help us learn how the cities are used and thus make better use of their resources and improve their design.
The Lab's researchers come from various disciplines such as physics, architecture, urban planning, the arts, electrical engineering, and computer science. This allows performing technological development with an emphasis on behavior as well as functionality and form, and evaluating design in terms of both emotion and use.
The SENSEable City Laboratory has funded positions for PhD and Master Students, post-doctoral fellowships. We also host visiting scholars and PhD students.
Successful candidates would have interest and expertise in one or several of the following: human-computer interaction, data fusion (e.g. semantic web), signal processing, city planning, and design. Applicants with other backgrounds will be considered as well.
Students are expected to be physically based at the Lab and to develop their thesis as part of one of the Lab's research projects.
