Dear building simulation experts,

We are recruiting for an Assistant Professional Researcher (the
research-track equivalent
of the Professor position) within the Center for the Built Environment
at the University of California Berkeley.
We are seeking
a person to lead research on heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC) systems, building performance simulation, occupancy detection, and
plug load management.

*Responsibilities*

The successful candidate?s main duties and responsibilities will consist of:

- Participating in and leading research projects in building science
that include building performance simulation, laboratory experiments, field
studies of occupant comfort, energy performance, and other aspects of
building performance.
- Developing research capabilities and directions for the HVAC and
building performance assessment team at CBE; identifying trends in research
and helping to develop the corresponding team capabilities required to take
on the associated research challenges.
- Identifying funding opportunities at government agencies, industry and
philanthropic organizations; leading proposals to apply to those
opportunities.
- Overseeing simulation or experimental design and set-up, including
data acquisition systems, calibration, physical measurements, human and
building performance assessments, and simulation methods.
- Supervising and conducting experiments in laboratory settings, field
studies, or simulation contexts.
- Overseeing and conducting comprehensive data analysis including both
qualitative and quantitative data, and design tool development.
- Writing technical documents and presenting research results, as well
as preparing project reports for funding agencies and/or industry partners.
- Writing articles for refereed academic journals, industry
publications, and/or conferences.
- Managing research project budgets.
- Supervising and training graduate students and other team members
working on research projects.
- Participating in standards and code development and with professional
associations, for example, ASHRAE or IBPSA.
