The Master of Advanced Studies ETH in Architecture and Digital Fabrication (MAS ETH DFAB) seeks to extend its teaching team with a coordinator and lecturer. The MAS ETH DFAB is a one-year, full-time educational programme positioned within a vibrant multidisciplinary research environment, jointly organised by the Chair for Digital Building Technologies (DBT) led by Prof. Benjamin Dillenburger and Gramazio Kohler Research (GKR) led by Prof. Fabio Gramazio and Prof. Matthias Kohler.

Furthermore, the MAS is the educational programme of the National Centre for Competence in Research (NCCR) Digital Fabrication, one of the world’s leading interdisciplinary research clusters on digital fabrication and robotics in architecture. It is also strongly linked to the  Institute of Technology in Architecture (ITA) and the Architecture Department (D-ARCH) of ETH Zurich.

The MAS ETH DFAB program introduces students to state of the art computational design, digital fabrication technologies, material innovation, and sustainable design principles. This comprehensive postgraduate course prioritizes practical experience, seamlessly connecting digital design to physical fabrication with an emphasis on robotics and the most recent architectural technologies. Tailored for professionals in architecture, engineering, and allied sectors, the MAS ETH DFAB equips its graduates with the specialist knowledge required to bring forward digital technologies in the architecture and construction field.

As a member of the MAS ETH DFAB teaching team, your role consists of the curriculum design, comprehensive planning and daily instruction of the 18 students enrolled in the MAS ETH DFAB program. The program is divided into three trimesters as follows.

First Trimester: Focuses on skill development, with an emphasis on object-oriented programming, computational design, robotic path planning, and fabrication. Your responsibilities include preparing exercises, classroom teaching, and providing individual support to students.

Second Trimester: In this phase, students collaborate to design and fabricate an architectural demonstrator using cutting-edge technology developed by ongoing research at GKR and DBT. Your tasks involve planning the trimester, creating tutorials to teach research technologies to students, and mentoring them in architectural design.

Third Trimester: Students embark on developing their own research thesis, collaborating closely with researchers at DBT, GKR as well as with external researchers and companies. Your role involves supporting both students and tutors, and supervising your own thesis projects.

This position is a unique opportunity to creatively investigate and teach new state-of-the-art methods to drive future evolutions of architecture and digital fabrication.
