Job Description

How can future microgrids and grid-edge energy systems operate autonomously, securely and resiliently as increasing numbers of energy resources are interfaced through power-electronic converters?

In this tenure-track position, you will establish an independent research profile in microgrids and grid-edge control, with particular emphasis on the modelling, control and coordination of converter-based resources and loads. Your research will contribute to new methods for distributed and autonomous operation across grid-connected and islanded systems, including challenges related to stability, islanding, black start, restoration and changing grid conditions.

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.

Responsibilities and qualifications

Your overall focus will be on the control and operation of future microgrids and grid-edge energy systems through intelligent and autonomous control of power-electronic converters. You will develop converter-level modelling and advanced control methods that enable individual converter-based resources to adapt to local conditions, coordinate with other resources, and collectively support stable and resilient system operation. This includes distributed and hierarchical control, autonomous decision-making, and operation across changing grid conditions, including grid-connected and islanded modes.

Your primary tasks will be to:

  • Conduct research in microgrids and converter-based grid-edge control, with particular emphasis on intelligent and autonomous control of power-electronic converters, distributed coordination and resilient operation of converter-dominated energy systems.
  • 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 funding for your research.
  • Build collaborations with academics within and outside DTU, and with private and public sector experts.

You should have a research background in power electronics, control engineering, electrical engineering, power engineering or a closely related field. A key qualification is experience with modelling and control of power-electronic converters and an interest in applying converter-level intelligence to the control and operation of microgrids and grid-edge energy systems.

Relevant additional experience may include distributed or hierarchical control, embedded or real-time control, microgrids, islanded operation and restoration, coordination of distributed energy resources, energy management, or data-driven methods for monitoring and control.

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.
