Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark DTU - Technical University of Denmark Full time
Job Description

The Geodesy and Earth Observation division at DTU Space invites applications from skilled and experienced researchers to work on Greenland Ice Sheet changes. The role focuses on developing advanced methods to enhance the understanding of the Greenland Ice Sheet, peripheral glaciers, and their contribution to sea level rise using finite element models such as the Ice-sheet and Sea-level System Model (ISSM), field observations, and various remote sensing products.

This involves the collection, processing, modelling, and interpretation of geophysical and satellite data, as well as teaching and supervising students. The successful candidate will be expected to communicate effectively with colleagues and work collaboratively to achieve ambitious goals.

The position is part of DTU's Tenure Track program, which provides a unique opportunity for talented researchers to develop into leading experts in their field.

Responsibilities and Qualifications
  • You should be highly motivated, self-driven, and possess strong work ethics, team spirit, and excellent collaboration skills.
  • Your primary focus will be on the collection, processing, modelling, and interpretation of geophysical and satellite data, as well as teaching and supervising students.
  • You will be expected to communicate effectively with colleagues and work collaboratively to achieve ambitious goals.

Required Skills and Qualifications
  • Research experience, skill in mathematical modelling of relevant physical glacier processes (ice sheet and mountain glaciers), with proficiency in MATLAB/Python/Fortran, and related software tools.
  • Experience with satellite remote sensing, including both optical and radar techniques.
  • Experience in conducting field campaigns and data processing.
  • Demonstrated ability to publish at the highest level in the international peer-reviewed research literature.
  • Experience and quality of teaching, supported by a minimum of five years of experience in academia or research.
