Senior Researcher in Modelling of the Ionosphere
2 days ago
DTU Space is seeking applications for a senior researcher in space research, with a focus on physical processes taking place in Earth's polar ionosphere and magnetosphere. The position involves computational modelling of these processes, as well as the collection, processing, modelling, and interpretation of observed data. The Division of Geomagnetism and Geospace at DTU Space is renowned for its groundbreaking work on Earth's magnetic field, pushing the limits of both fundamental research and practical applications.
Responsibilities and qualifications
The successful candidate will be expected to conduct original research aimed at improving our understanding of the interaction between Earth's magnetic field and the solar-terrestrial environment, particularly in Earth's polar regions. This includes analysing and interpreting magnetic data gathered from ground-based sources (such as the Greenland magnetometer array operated by DTU Space) and satellite data (e.g., magnetic field measurements, plasma convection, plasma density, and temperature).
The ability to communicate effectively with colleagues and work collaboratively as part of a team to achieve ambitious goals is essential. Additionally, the candidate will contribute to research-based teaching and supervise student projects within DTU's Earth and Space Physics and Engineering study program.
Required Skills
- Expertise in the physics of the polar ionosphere and magnetosphere.
- Experience working with geomagnetic data, plasma convection measurements, and auroral observations using particle or optical instruments.
- Expertise in data processing and inverse modelling techniques.
- Proven ability to secure external funding.
- Demonstrated ability to publish at the highest level in international peer-reviewed research literature.
- Presentation skills suited for sharing research findings at international conferences.
- Passion for working on complex and challenging topics.
- Strong collaboration and teamwork skills.
Teaching Responsibilities
You must contribute to teaching at the Department. 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 a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) as well as academic qualifications equivalent to those obtained by holding a position as a researcher or postdoc. To be appointed as a senior researcher, you must have completed a didactic/pedagogic education. If you do not have the necessary education, then it is possible to complete this requirement within a period of two years of appointment.
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.
Application procedure
Please submit your online application no later than 2 March 2025 (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
- CV including employment history, list of publications indicating scientific highlights, H-index and ORCID (see )
- 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. As DTU works with research in critical technology, which is subject to special rules for security and export control, open-source background checks may be conducted on qualified candidates for the position.
