Do you share our mission of 're-inventing cities' and want to join us to work on solutions for the city’s urban challenges? Here you'll find our open positions and internships.
To what extent does the built environment affects aircraft noise, heat stress, wind flow patterns and air pollution? The Urban Sensing Lab is a research facility near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (Hoofddorp) built of stacked shipping containers representing three streets and court yards.
The team is looking for a junior researcher who is keen to support the interdisciplinary research team, consisting of researchers in the fields of building acoustics and environmental technology. As a junior researcher, you will collaborate with postdocs, and will be responsible for data collection and data analysis. In respect to data collection, computational research, and data analysis, you will assist researchers from both the acoustics and microclimatic teams. Find out more about the position here>>
A central concern in smart city systems is the occurrence of function creep: the practice where tools designed with a specific use in mind, quickly get used for other goals as well. Actions such as software updates, cyberattacks, over-ambitiousness at government agencies, or hostile take-overs can change smart city systems to work beyond their intended goals. Which intervention should be used to prevent this? And how we can easily spot whether undesired use of smart city systems actually occurs?
