DTU Chemistry invites applications for a position as full professor in Inorganic Chemistry. The position focuses on inorganic and sustainable chemistry to obtain a deep understanding of decarbonization, green chemistry, and catalysis.

Responsibilities and qualifications

We need a professor in Inorganic Chemistry to strengthen the department's research and education in various aspects of inorganic chemistry, especially related to materials design and development as well as synthesis and reaction mechanisms. The professorship is a part of the section for Inorganic Chemistry and is expected to interact closely with the other faculty members, as well as faculty from other DTU departments and other universities.

You will play a key role in:

  • Research and education in materials chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis for sustainable chemistry, using state-of-the-art tools and methodology of experimental and/or theoretical inorganic chemistry to understand complex chemical systems at the molecular level.
  • Applying the tools of inorganic chemistry to develop novel materials and reactions for more sustainable processes and products.
  • Initiating, supervising, and communicating fundamental and applied research in the field of inorganic and sustainable chemistry.
  • Conducting innovative research at the highest international level and establishing an outstanding, externally funded research program.

Your track record proves your ability to attract national and international funding, lead international research projects, and publish and disseminate research at a high international level. You are a dedicated and experienced teacher for whom the education of DTU's students is a key responsibility. You are keen on the further development of the collaboration with national and international research institutes and industries through collaborative projects to strengthen and develop inorganic chemistry in Denmark.

You will get a rewarding and challenging position in an international environment, collaborating and networking with research colleagues from all over the world.
