2 weeks ago


Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) Full time

At DTU Construct, we are looking for a researcher with researcher/post-doc experience within the field of thermal management and thermal energy storage applications. The position will include modelling, optimization and experimentation in research fields related to advanced thermal systems.
At DTU Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, we are looking for a researcher in the field of advanced thermal sciences focusing on thermal management of electric vehicles and electronic devices, heat transfer enhancement of thermal systems, and analysis of thermal energy storage systems and thermo-mechanical energy storage technologies.

The Section of Thermal Energy at the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering conducts scientific research in close collaboration with a number of industrial partners in the field of optimization of energy conversion systems with focus on the green transition of the energy system. The research covers, for example, thermal systems as units for power production, refrigeration, heat pumps, internal combustion engines, biomass utilization, energy storage and electric vehicles. The research involves advanced analysis, modelling and optimization of systems and components based on applied thermal-fluid methods. We seek a candidate with previous researcher/post-doc experience within the field of thermal management and thermal energy storage applications.

Responsibilities and qualifications
The position will include multi-dimensional heat transfer modelling, optimization and experimentation in research fields related to advanced thermal systems consisting of the following:

  • Electric vehicles and electronic devices
  • Sensible and latent heat thermal energy storage systems
  • Thermo-mechanical energy storage technologies

The work will be based on numerical modelling and simulation of components, cycles and systems, and experiments carried out in the laboratory and at industrial facilities. You will work with nearby colleagues, and with academic and industrial partners in Denmark as well as abroad. The tasks will also include the development of novel research proposals in collaboration with partners in academia and industry. To cover these tasks, we expect you to have a strong profile in thermal sciences based on a mechanical engineering background. It is essential to have experience with conceptualization, modelling, design, optimization and feasibility studies of electric vehicles and energy storage systems and their components. Moreover, you need to have experience of the development of research proposals and have proven the ability to lead work on publication of recent research results in international scientific media. Teaching and supervision experience is a further requirement. You should have a high level of interpersonal skills and have a demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a team across both the education and service sectors.

You must contribute to the teaching of courses. DTU employs two working languages: Danish and English. You are expected to be fluent in at least one of these languages, and in time are expected to master both.

As formal qualification you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).

You will be assessed against the responsibilities and qualifications stated above and the following general criteria:

  • Research experience
  • Experience and quality of teaching
  • Research vision and potential
  • International impact and experience
  • Societal impact
  • Innovativeness, including commercialization and collaboration with industry
  • Leadership, collaboration, and interdisciplinary skills
  • Communication skills

Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union.

Starting date is 18 November 2024, (or according to mutual agreement). The position is a full-time position.

The position is part of DTU's Tenure Track program. Read more about the program and the recruitment process here.

Application procedure
Your complete online application must be submitted no later than 11 September 2024 (23:59 Danish time). Applications must be submitted as one PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration. To apply, please open the link "Apply now", fill out the online application form, and attach all your materials in English in one PDF file. The file must include:

  • Application (cover letter)
  • Vision for teaching and research for the tenure track period
  • CV including employment history, list of publications, H-index and ORCID (see http://orcid.org/)
  • Teaching portfolio including documentation of teaching experience
  • Academic Diplomas (MSc/PhD)

Applications received after the deadline will not be considered.

All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, disability, race, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply.
