Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Develop and integrate the Neighbourhood Information Platform (NIP) to support evidence-based urban planning and policy development. Contribute to research on semantic data infrastructures, data harmonisation pipelines, and spatial analytics within a Horizon Europe-funded project.
Applicants should hold a PhD (or be near completion) in Computer Science, Urban Informatics, Data Science, GIS, Civil Engineering, or Architecture. Specialist knowledge in digital urban systems, geospatial data, or BIM/CIM is required, along with experience in interdisciplinary research.
The role will focus on the development and integration of the Neighbourhood Information Platform (NIP), a cloud-based decision-support ecosystem that integrates spatial datasets, digital building information, environmental indicators, and social sensing data to support evidence-based urban planning and policy development.
You will contribute to research activities in urban data integration, semantic data infrastructures, and digital platform development, including the design of data ingestion and harmonisation pipelines, interoperability frameworks, and ontology-based data models. You will also support the development of analytical and decision-support tools, including spatial analytics, scenario modelling, and visualisation components for sustainable urban planning.
The postholder will work closely with a consortium of 17 European partners across academia, industry, and public authorities, contributing to technical development, research outputs, project deliverables, and dissemination activities.
In addition to research activities, there will be opportunities to contribute to the wider activities of the School of Architecture and Built Environment, supporting its academic mission and collaborative research environment.
This is a fixed-term position for 30 months, funded through a Horizon Europe project.
The role is based within the School of Architecture and Built Environment at Northumbria University:
https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/academic-departments/architecture-and-built-environment/
The School of Architecture and Built Environment is part of the Faculty of Engineering and Environment and is internationally recognised for research and teaching in architecture, construction project management, civil engineering, urban planning, and digital construction.
The School has a strong and growing research profile in digital built environments, smart cities, data-driven design, building information modelling, and sustainable infrastructure, with active participation in major UK and European research programmes, including Horizon Europe projects.
Research within the School is highly interdisciplinary and externally engaged, working closely with industry, local authorities, and international academic partners to address global challenges in urban transformation, sustainability, and digital innovation.
You will have specialist knowledge and/or experience in areas such as digital urban systems, geospatial data, BIM/CIM, data integration, semantic data modelling, or development of digital platforms and decision-support systems. Experience working with heterogeneous datasets and/or interoperability frameworks in the built environment is highly desirable.
You should also have experience working in collaborative, interdisciplinary research environments and be comfortable engaging with international research partners.
For more information, please see the person specification.
