Brief description of the Centre/Research Group

• The work team represented by the César Martín-Gómez has been working for years on projects that involve the integration of building services and energy systems in complex architectonical cases. Building services here involve fire safety, water management, electricity, data networks, HVAC and renewable energies.

• These research works include architecture and urbanism, history and biology, learning and complex buildings. It is not a mess but a puzzle where the keyword is integration.

• The UNESCO research lines are: 241109 - Regulation of human temperature; 330500 - Construction technology; 330503 - Large buildings and skyscrapers; 330506 - Civil engineering; 330517 - Industrial and commercial buildings; 330537 - Urban planning; 330800 - Environmental engineering and technology; 3322 - Energy technology; 332900 - Urban planning; 550601 - History of architecture; 550624 - History of technology; 580100 - Educational theory and methods.

• Since 2009, the team has participated in 9 research projects: 5 private, 3 regional, 2 national and 1 European, with an income of over 800,000 euros.

• The activity of the team has allowed the publication of more than 33 articles in indexed journals, 24 books or book chapters, and 56 collaborations in Congresses.

Project description

How will fire protection facilities look like in buildings in the year 2100? And water management? Will waste management be really integrated into buildings? How? And how would the power generation be then? Will HVAC systems have been replaced by other technologies that we don't even imagine now? Will electricity continue to go through wires? Do you want to solve these questions or others even more difficult? Then, this is your proposal.

The researcher would apply for a MSCA-Individual fellowship (deadline 09 September 2020). If successful, the researcher would get a full-time research position at University of Navarra, one of the top rated universities in Spain (Number 1 in employability) for a period ranging 1-3 years depending on the subtype of grant and the interests of the applicant.

Research Areas

• Architectural Engineering

Applications

• Researcher with a PhD degree or equivalent research experience in the field of the project. She/he should not have resided or carried out main activity in Spain for more than 12 months in the last 3 years before the deadline of the call (09 September 2020. MSCA-IF-2020).

• CV and letter of motivation. Include a concept note of the research proposal (up to 1 page).
