Assistant or Associate Professor in Fluid Mechanics Job Description

SDU Mechanical Engineering (SDU ME) invites applications for a position as Assistant or Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering. SDU ME is part of Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Southern Denmark, located at the main campus in Odense.

The application deadline is October 31, 2024, at 11.59 PM/23.59 (CET/CEST)

SDU ME embraces a wide field of expertise within fluid mechanics and heat transfer, multiphysics optimisation, mechanical design and construction, and structural dynamics monitoring. We offer educational programmes at both Bachelor and Master levels. We create research and development in collaboration with internal and external partners and industry.

To complement our team, we are looking for an Assistant or Associate Professor within the field of fluid mechanics and heat transfer, preferably with experience in one or more of the following fields:

  • Numerical methods for fluid mechanics and/or multiphysics
  • Experimental fluid mechanics and/or heat transfer
  • Turbulent and/or multiphase fluid dynamics
  • Fluid-structure-interaction and/or conjugate heat transfer

The ideal candidate will have experience with both numerical and experimental fluid dynamics.

The successful candidate is expected to support the growing activities in fluid mechanics and heat transfer as part of the Multiphysics Simulation and Optimisation (MSO) research group, and be in charge of experimental equipment, such as conventional and heated wind tunnel, Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer (LDA/PDA), Shadowgraph imaging techniques, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), heat sink and thermal conductivity measurement.

The successful candidate will contribute to both on-going research projects and to defining and establishing new projects together with colleagues and industrial partners. The candidate must be able to compete for national and international research grants. Especially for applications for Associate Professor level, documented experience in winning research grants is a requirement.

In addition, the candidate shall contribute with competence and dedication to teaching of existing and new courses at Bachelor and Master level and supervise Bachelor, Master, and PhD students. Our engineering programmes are a combination of theory courses and projects, and you will be involved in both activities.

As an Assistant Professor, you will complete a Lecturer Training Programme that equips you with the necessary tools to conduct effective and inspiring teaching, and through successful completion be able to apply for future open positions into Associate Professor level at SDU ME.

The candidate must have:

  • PhD degree in a relevant area of engineering or physics
  • Experience in theoretical, numerical, and/or computational fluid mechanics
  • Postdoctoral or industrial research experience
  • Good communication skills in English
  • Documented teaching experience for applications at Associate Professor level

In addition, experience with as many as possible of the following is valued:

  • Conventional and heated wind tunnels
  • Advanced optical tools for flow and sprays such as LDA, PDA or PIV
  • Numerical and/or computational fluid dynamics
  • Convective and conjugate heat transfer
  • High heat flux cooling
  • Microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices
  • Single and multiphase turbulent flow
  • Boundary layer theory
  • Spray formations and droplet transport
  • Participation in national and international academic networks of researchers
  • Team-working skills in addition to self-motivation and the ability to work independently

Appointment as assistant professor is temporary and for an initial 3-year period.

Employment as assistant professor requires scientific qualifications at PhD level at the time of employment.

Appointment as associate professor is permanent.

Employment as an associate professor requires academic qualifications at PhD level as well as scientific and teaching qualifications at a level achievable based on satisfactory completion of a period of employment as assistant professor/researcher but may be achievable by other means.

The preferred starting date is February 1, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.

We expect non-Danish-speaking candidates to learn to speak Danish within a few years.

Applications will be assessed by an assessment committee. Shortlisting may be applied. Only shortlisted candidates will receive a written assessment.

Interviews and tests may be part of the process.

Assessment of the candidates is based on the application material. Please include the following documents in English:

  • Motivated application (at most 2 pages).
  • Certificates/Diplomas (master’s and PhD degree) – Danish and/or English.
  • Complete list of publications.
  • Publications most relevant for the position (at most 5 publications). Please attach as one PDF-file for each publication (only full text publications (i.e. no links) can form the basis for assessment of the application).
  • List of supervised projects and acquired third party funding, if any.
  • References.
  • Documentation of other qualifications with relevance to the position.

UPLOAD GUIDE: Motivated application shall be uploaded as ‘Cover letter’, Curriculum Vitae shall be uploaded as ‘Resume’. All other documents shall be uploaded as ‘Miscellaneous documents’.

The application deadline is October 31, 2024, at 11.59 PM/23.59 (CET/CEST)

Formalities:

  • According to the University of Southern Denmark’s internal guidelines, there must be at least three qualified applicants to a position before it can be filled.
  • Documents must not contain a CPR number (civil registration number) – in this case, the CPR number must be crossed out.
  • The application and CV must not exceed 10 MB.

The University of Southern Denmark wishes to reflect the surrounding community and therefore encourages everyone, regardless of personal background, to apply for the position.

The University of Southern Denmark was established to create value for and with society. Whether our contributions come in the form of excellent research, innovative solutions, education or learning, we must make a positive difference to society and contribute to a sustainable future. We do this by cultivating talents and creating the best environments for research and learning. It is therefore crucial that SDU retains, develops and recruits talent. At the same time, we need to ensure consistently high quality in all our activities – and we can only do that with the right people. The University’s researchers, lecturers, students, managers and technical/administrative staff are the foundation of our success.
