All, KieranTimberlake, a Philadelphia based research and architectural design firm, is seeking an Urban Ecologist to join our office.
The Urban Ecologist will work as an integrated member of design teams to collect, organize, and synthesize information of environmental systems and processes across a range of spatial and temporal scales. The Ecologist will generate data-driven graphical and statistical analysis as it relates to various research topics, which may include the following: site and regional ecology; hydrology and geology; delineation and characterization of microclimates; field data collection methodologies including sensor networks; building environmental impact assessments; ecosystem services and other forms of economic assessments of environmental impacts and benefits; and the human health implications of design decisions. Data generated by the Urban Ecologist will be prepared graphically, and it will become actionable toward decision making within the project team and be applied in the formation of design solutions. The Urban Ecologist may also proactively identify and initiate research addressing design challenges on a variety of scales. The result of these proposals will be experiments integrated into all phases of architectural project delivery including design, construction, and building operations. In the execution of this process, the Urban Ecologist may engage research peers from industry and academia, form peer groups, and seek partnerships or funding through granting agencies. He or she may also prepare findings for publication and communication to internal audiences, particularly architectural designers, and external audiences including clients and peer groups. You can find the full listing, including position requirements and how to apply at the following link: http://www.kierantimberlake.com/pages/view/293 If you have the ability, confidence, and desire to inquire about the limits of the possible and to seek novel solutions for architecture that offer value across social, environmental, and aesthetic agendas, please apply. Sincerely, Roderick
