Introduction

Future Cities Lab Global (FCL-G) is a research unit of the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) and ETH Zurich established in partnership with Singapore’s National Research Foundation (NRF), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), National University of Singapore (NUS), and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). FCL-G is home to 120 multidisciplinary researchers across hubs in Singapore and Zurich, organised in eight research modules.

The ‘Agropolitan Territories’ module focusses on the possible threats that urbanisation and agriculture pose to sustainable development. We focus on Monsoon Asia, a region that supplies most of the world’s staple crops (90% of the world’s rice, 45% wheat, and 25% maize), supports over half the world’s population, and is undergoing urbanisation with unprecedented speed and scale. Effects of those threats will be especially disastrous for both cities (increased poverty, ill-health, pollution) and countryside (increased depopulation, greenhouse gas emissions, soil degradation, deforestation, biodiversity loss) in Monsoon Asia and beyond if not properly managed.

Our approach to these threats is guided by a vision for agropolitan territories which hybridise urban and rural settlement patterns for sustainable regional development. The module will draw on expertise in data analytics, coupled human-natural systems, agroecosystem science and urban design. We will produce innovative planning concepts, architectural designs, and building prototypes for sustainable agropolitan territories, anchored in specified sites in China, India, and Indonesia.

Project background

This Zurich- and Singapore-based role is within the ‘Agropolitan Territories of Monsoon Asia’ research module of the Future Cities Laboratory Global (FCL).. Field work and on-site visits around monsoon Asia are expected during this post.

The role(s) focus on understanding land-use transitions from urban city centres to intensive monoculture crop plantations and to identify and create a typology of mixed land-uses that include settlements and agroecological production, also termed as ‘agropolitan territories’. These typologies will be assessed against as set of indicators of agroecological elements to understand how they vary with the range of agropolitan territories identified. The context of this work will be focused on both rice and palm oil production systems, a ubiquitous crop across Indonesia and Malaysia that is used for producing vegetable oils. We have identified cases in Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia (for the palm oil focus), and other regions in India, China and Africa to develop comparative studies of emerging agropolitan territories along several transects from the city center to the rural areas. Traveling and field trips are expected during the employment.

Previous experience doing field work in any of these regions and language proficiency to support it is an advantage.”

This role supports the coordination of module personnel, reporting and budgets specific to the selected case studies.

Note that the current FCL-G 5-year cycle will end on Nov 30 2025 and contract will terminate before then. Duration of contract will be adjusted to match, depending on starting date.

Task/Job description

The scope of work shall comprise of but shall not be limited to:

1) Research (75%)
