Associate Professor or DTU Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Data Aquisition in Water Systems
7 days ago
Would you like to boost your career as a researcher and educator in the area of data acquisition in water systems? Here is an opportunity for you. We offer the opportunity to join the faculty at one of the World's leading university departments in environmental and resource engineering.
At DTU Sustain, you will work at the forefront of science providing guidance and solutions to major societal challenges related to climate change, circularity, sustainability, and environmental quality.
Team players in environmental and resource engineering
Your overall focus will be to strengthen DTU Sustain's competencies within the areas of monitoring water quantity, water quality, and flooding; developing and/or deploying cost-effective distributed sensors, integration of data management systems, and digital twins of water systems.
You will work in our new section of Water Systems, which develops methods to guide water management in urban, peri-urban, and coastal areas. This includes process understanding and modelling technologies for the whole water cycle including infrastructure components focused on drainage, stormwater management, and water supply (including water reuse and water fit for purpose), and their interrelations with surface and groundwater. Climatic risks have special attention, including extreme rainfall and sea surges as well as rising groundwater levels, flooding, drought, and heatwaves. The assessment of water management strategies at different spatial scales and including different technology options interfacing with the energy and food sectors (e.g., multifunctional land-use for climate change adaptation and power-to-X), the development of treatment technologies, and monitoring and control approaches for water and pollutant fluxes will also be key areas of focus.
The section currently consists of five closely collaborating faculty members and associated PhD students and Postdocs. To boost our research and teaching activities in a growing field, we are hiring three new faculty colleagues to collaborate with us. This announcement targets one of these three positions.
Responsibilities and qualifications
New sensing methods and the integration of various data sources are key to a better understanding of hydrological and water quality processes and ultimately also for effective and sustainable management of water resources in cities. In this position, you will perform high-level research on data acquisition in water infrastructures and natural water bodies in urban and peri-urban areas, addressing a wide range of water quality indicators and water matrices.
Your educational background could be within environmental engineering, electrical engineering, quantitative hydrology, earth sciences, or data science, supplemented with a strong Danish and/or international platform.
Your primary tasks will be to:
- Teach and supervise BSc and MSc student projects, and be a supervisor for PhD students covering a broad range of water monitoring related topics.
- Perform research at an international level on the use of cost-effective monitoring technologies for environmental monitoring and modelling.
- Develop new monitoring approaches based on the application of newly developed sensing technologies to various water matrices and water usage problems in combination with modeling tools or methods (laboratory, field).
- Contribute to research and funding acquisition within the section, with colleagues from other sections in the department and beyond.
- Lead and contribute to innovation activities in collaboration with SMEs and/or DTU's startup accelerator program (DTU Skylab). Interact with academia, public authorities, consultants, water utilities, and industrial partners in Denmark as well as abroad.
- Interests in data science, remote sensing, and the combination of machine learning and physical-based models for data validation and interpretation are beneficial but not a must.
We are looking for scientific talent with the skills and ambitions to see the sky as the limit and world-class as a natural guiding light. To succeed, you must enjoy creating results via knowledge sharing and constructive collaboration with due respect to professional and cultural differences – and be open to giving and receiving feedback with an open mind. As a teacher, you must enjoy coaching and be able to communicate in an inspiring and motivating way – you set the standard for the engineers of the future.
You will be responsible for 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 a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent). If you are applying for the associate professor position, you should also have academic qualifications equivalent to those obtained by holding an assistant professorship and documented didactic/pedagogic training.
You will be assessed against the responsibilities and qualifications stated above and the following general criteria:
- Experience and quality of teaching
- Research experience
- 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 1 April 2025 (or according to mutual agreement). The position is a full-time position, but part-time employment may be negotiated if relevant for the position.
The assistant professor position is part of DTU's Tenure Track program. Read more about the program and the recruitment process here .
