Demolition Take Down: Assemblages are recruiting a Research Assistant to join their team!
Apply by Wednesday 11th November.

The Research Assistant will work with TU Dublin School of Architecture, Building and Environment in close collaboration with the project partners Islander Architects and Fingal County Council. This role is fully funded by Creative Ireland’s Creative Climate Action Fund III.

The Research Assistant will be required to undertake research and analysis in the project area of existing buildings, embodied carbon and adaptive reuse, as part of the project’s research team.
The role will involve research and analysis (including embodied carbon metrics, good practice case studies and policy) and contributing to the development of building case study mapping processes and the development of Climate Impact Assessment (CIA) Frameworks for embodied carbon analysis. This work will identify and record not just the material value of existing buildings, but also their cultural and social value.

The deadline for applications is Wednesday 11th November at 5pm (Irish time). The role will be mostly based in TU Dublin Bolton Street campus with allocated time at the project study area of Balbriggan.

Further information is available here.
