Built Environment

Built Environment department at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is driven by our ambitions to make a difference. Sustainability, in its
broadest definition, is the cornerstone of our research and education.
We take the lead in (re)shaping the built environment and making it
futureproof, safe, healthy, inclusive and with respect for planetary
boundaries.

Built Environment department at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is in an outstanding position to do so because we house the entire spectrum of technology, engineering, design and human behavior disciplines in the built environment, with world class experimental facilities, on all scale levels. This allows us to address societal challenges from a unique integral perspective.

Scientific career

After a PhD, many scientists opt for a postdoctoral period, often in another country or at another university, mostly for several years. It is an opportunity to broaden and deepen your research skills, contribute to the research field, and build up a track record. TU/e also offers (international) postdoctoral researchers the opportunity to enhance their research experience.

After your postdoctoral experience, you can apply for a Development Track as an Assistant Professor. TU/e encourages talented scientists to develop into assistant and associate professors. Successful associate professors can eventually take the step to a professors’ position.
