Dr Selcuk Cidik serves as Associate Professor in Construction and Project Management at University College London's Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction, where he leads the B.Sc. (Hons) Project Management for Construction programme. With seven years of industry experience in construction bidding and commercial management for major civil engineering contractors, he transitioned to academia in 2012 after initial roles as an assistant project manager. Prior to UCL, he held lecturing positions at Birmingham City University and London South Bank University.
He earned his Ph.D. in 2016 for research on 'The practice of interdisciplinary design in BIM-enabled projects', establishing his expertise in digital construction frameworks. His scholarly work examines value creation across construction project lifecycles through multi-level theoretical lenses integrating societal and stakeholder perspectives.
Dr Cidik's research program investigates the politics of social value in infrastructure using political ecology and non-representational spatial theories, systems approaches to building safety, and digital transformation impacts on organizational routines. His work bridges organizational studies, political science, and systems thinking to address circular economy implementation challenges and BIM-enabled collaboration dynamics in sustainable construction.
Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals dominant trends in circular economy applications (particularly green infrastructure retrofitting), socio-spatial dimensions of value creation, and digital compliance tools. Key thematic clusters include stakeholder power dynamics in infrastructure governance, spatial analysis of circular systems, and trust frameworks for BIM collaboration, reflecting his commitment to translating theoretical insights into practical sustainable construction solutions.
As an educator, he has supervised over 20 undergraduate and 60 master's students while teaching core modules including Construction Ecosystem and The Management of Construction Projects. His leadership extends to dissertation supervision across large cohorts and development of curriculum focused on innovation, technology, and management in the built environment.
