**Empa** is offering a Ph.D. position to develop a digital human avatar, focusing on occupants’ thermal comfort in buildings. This digital human model will simulate the intricate interactions between humans and their built environment, considering factors like body posture, solar radiation, and clothing. The project’s aim is to optimize energy efficiency and enhance occupant well-being in buildings. Candidates with a background in engineering and experience in modeling are sought. The research, bridging the nexus of digital humans and building design, will be conducted at Empa in St. Gallen, with the degree awarded by ETH Zürich.
