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

At Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU), we are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team and contribute to the development of innovative teaching methods that promote student learning and conceptual understanding.

The successful candidate will be part of a strategic initiative aimed at enhancing student learning outcomes through the application of experimental teaching methods. The project focuses on investigating the impact of open experiments on students' construction of conceptual understanding, particularly in the context of introductory physics courses.

We offer a 3-year PhD position with a starting date of 1 December 2024. The research will be conducted within the framework of DTU's PhD education, with academic approval and enrollment in one of the general degree programs at DTU.

The PhD researcher will have the opportunity to work independently, plan and carry out complex tasks, and collaborate with international experts in the field. A 3-6 month stay at an international collaboration university is expected as part of the project.

Key responsibilities include applying systematic approaches to investigate and document the effectiveness of experimental teaching methods, comparing passive versus active learning environments, and conducting field studies and data analysis.

To qualify for this position, you must have a two-year master's degree or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree. Pedagogical training, preferably within high school or university teaching, is beneficial. Basic knowledge of learning, student motivation, and didactics would be beneficial. Experience with realizing experimental setups is advantageous.

We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment with a competitive salary range of approximately DKK 450,000 - 550,000 per annum depending on qualifications and experience.

Our benefits package includes access to state-of-the-art research facilities, opportunities for professional development, and a dynamic working environment with diverse colleagues from around the world.
