Senior Researcher in Waste Management and Public Scientific Advice
1 month ago
If you want to boost your career as researcher, educator and provider of scientific advice within waste management, resource engineering and circularity, here is the chance We offer an opportunity to join the faculty at one of the world's leading university departments in resource and environmental engineering. At DTU Sustain you work at the forefront of science providing solutions to major societal challenges related to climate change, circularity, sustainability, and environmental quality.
DTU Sustain has been very productive and successful during the last decades within waste management, resource engineering and circularity. Currently 7 faculty members focus on these topics, and fortunately we are now able to add one more senior researcher within this area. The position is defined below, and candidates should be able to collaborate with the existing faculty members, but also add new expertise and dedication to the group.
Your overall focus will be to strengthen DTU Sustain's competences within the areas of waste management, resource engineering and circularity, and especially be a key resource in the group's contract with scientific advice to the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Current topics in the group are emission monitoring, landfill biocovers, organic waste management, textile and plastic waste, carbon capture and LCA modelling. Your expertise can contribute to further development of these topics but potentially also add new relevant topics.
Responsibilities and qualifications
You will interact with academia, students, public authorities, consultants, and industrial partners in Denmark as well as abroad.
We expect that you have a strong background in one or more of the topics, preferably with an engineering (or similar) background or experience. Your primary tasks will be, in collaboration with the group, to:
- Provide public sector consultancy to inform decision making with regards to waste management, for this proficiency in Danish in both oral and writing is key.
- Perform research at an international level in the cross-field of waste, resources, sustainability, and circularity.
- Develop and contribute with new experimental approaches and methods (waste characterization, laboratory experimentation, field monitoring).
- Develop concepts for sustainable waste management in a rapidly changing world (climate, energy, resource limitations, land-use-restrictions, etc.).
- Develop insight into specific waste problems and/or specific waste technologies to contribute to the data-based system modelling constituting a common platform for our research.
- Contribute to research in the group and with colleagues in related sections (materials, environmental assessment, etc.).
- Develop and promote the EASETECH tool, for which previous in-depth working knowledge is a requirement and must be documented in the application.
- Teach and supervise BSc and MSc student projects and be supervisor for PhD students covering a broad range of waste related topics.
- Interests in sustainability (e.g., LCA) and circularity.
You must contribute to teaching at the Department. DTU employs two working languages: Danish and English. Since the position requires immediate work in connection to the contract with the Danish EPA, you are expected to master both languages.
Application procedure
Please submit your online application no later than Sunday, 1 September :59 Danish time).
