Job Description

Do you want to establish an independent research profile at the intersection of power electronics, advanced control and energy-system integration? In this tenure-track position, you will develop converter technologies and control methods that support efficient, robust and adaptive electrified systems.

You will join an international team with collaborators from diverse disciplinary and national backgrounds and opportunities to engage in international research projects and partnerships. We offer a vibrant, welcoming, and diverse environment with an international atmosphere, encouraging creativity, empathy, team working, superb academic collaborations, and outstanding links to the front-running Danish energy sector.

The position places you centrally in collaboration with PowerLabDK, a successful research and innovation platform that combines modelling, simulation, laboratory testing and system-oriented validation across multiple experimental facilities.

Responsibilities and qualifications

Your overall focus will be to develop a coherent research programme connecting advanced power-converter technology, adaptive control and system integration. You will contribute to strengthening our research and education while developing your own scientific profile in collaboration with colleagues, students and external stakeholders.

Your research may address advanced power-converter topologies and technologies for power and energy system applications, including converters based on emerging wide-bandgap semiconductor technologies, as well as modelling and control, and their integration into future energy systems. Relevant directions include high-performance and adaptive control, real-time implementation, diagnostics and condition monitoring, as well as the interaction and coordination of converters in applications such as Power-to-X, energy storage, renewable generation and electrified demand.

Your primary tasks will be to:

  • Conduct research in high-performance power converters, control and grid integration.
  • Prepare and teach relevant courses within areas related to your expertise.
  • Be active in our development of experimental facilities and tools related to lab validation, modelling, control and energy systems integration.
  • Supervise BSc and MSc as well as PhD students and contribute to other educational activities.
  • Contribute to attracting research funding.
  • Build collaborations with academics within and outside DTU, and with private and public sector experts.

You should have a research profile in power electronics, control engineering, electrical engineering or a closely related field. You are expected to have research experience in power-converter modelling, design or control and an interest in connecting converter-level methods with experimental validation and system-level behaviour.

You must 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 formal qualification you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).

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. In addition, supplements can be negotiated in accordance with DTU’s salary structure for scientific staff: www.inside.dtu.dk/en/human-resources/during-employment/salary/salary-structures

The expected starting date is as soon as possible or according to mutual agreement. The position is a full-time position.

The position is part of DTU’s Tenure Track program. Read more about the program and the recruitment process here.
