At the doctoral school of Engineering and Science a PhD scholarship is available within the general study programme Civil Engineering. The stipend is open for appointment from 1st of June 2026 in the Construction Management and Building Informatics Research Group, Department of the Built Environment at Aalborg University in Aalborg

Description

The generation and accumulation of waste is a global problem for which the construction industry, along with other industries, lacks sustainable solutions. Danmark accounts for 21 million tons of the 2.5 billion tons of waste generated annually (2016). The Danish construction industry contributes 58% of the Land’s total waste (Eurostat, 2020). The Knowledge Center for Circular Economy in Construction (VCØB) highlights three initiatives for better waste management: increased sorting, more targeted handling of different types of waste, and better control of hazardous substances (VCØB, 2021). Current research focuses either on reducing construction site waste or on mitigating its negative impacts with limited attention given to the development of tools and processes for planning and managing waste handling to increase reuse and recycling rates. The purpose of this PhD project is to develop measures to prepare the Danish construction sector for the requirements resulting from the implementation of FBK, A4, and A5.

Responsibilities
  • The impact of construction waste management system design on waste sorting performance, with the aim of reducing unsorted and abandoned waste
  • The potential of incorporating human behavioral factors into system design to improve on‑site waste management
  • The development and implementation of initiatives that enhance waste sorting quality and documentation practices
  • The application of analytical, computational, and simulation‑based methods to assess how changes in waste management processes can support compliance with certification standards, such as the Voluntary Sustainability Class
Qualifications

Candidate for this Stilling is expected to have a relevant engineering background, preferably within construction management or civil engineering. The candidate should have experience with qualitative research methods, such as conducting interviews and performing on‑site observations.

Strong analytical skills, the ability to work independently, and good communication skills in both written and spoken English are also expected.

PhD stipends are allocated to individuals who hold a Master’s degree. The stipend is normally for a period of 3 years. It is a prerequisite for alLokation that the candidate will be enrolled as a PhD student at the Doctoral School of Engineering and Science in accordance with the regulations of Ministerial Order No. 1124 of September 19, 2025 on the PhD Programme at the Universities and Certain Higher Artistic Educational Institutions.
