Senior Research Scientist/Research Scientist at the DTU-ESA Spherical Near-Field Antenna Test Facility

We seek a highly experienced or highly talented person for a Senior Research Scientist or Research Scientist position who will have a central role in developing the field of antenna measurements and the DTU-ESA Facility at the Department of Electrical Engineering.  

The DTU - ESA Spherical Near-Field Antenna Test Facility is operated by the Department of Electrical Engineering as an external reference laboratory for the European Space Agency (ESA). We perform high-accuracy antenna calibrations and measurements for ESA, for ESA contractors and for Danish and European academia and industry. 

Responsibilities and tasks 
You will be employed in the Electromagnetic Systems group, and become a member of the research team involved in antenna measurements and the operation of the DTU - ESA Facility. The Electromagnetic Systems group covers areas of fundamental importance for modern wireless communication and sensing system; these include electromagnetic field theory as well as microwave, antenna, component and circuit technologies.    

The main responsibilities and tasks of the position are: 

  • Conduct high-accuracy spherical near-field antenna measurements
  • Maintain and develop the antenna measurement capability and expertise
  • Perform research and development projects in the field of antenna measurements for publications in journals and at conferences
  • Establish contact and collaborations with internal and external partners
  • Participate to antenna measurement projects with external partners; in particular with ESA
  • Participate to teaching activities and supervise student projects

For the Senior Research Scientist position, we expect the candidate to be highly experienced with theory and practice of near-field antenna measurements, and that she/he can start contributing to the tasks above soon after employment.   

For the Research Scientist position, we expect the candidate to be highly talented with theory and practice of antenna measurements, and that she/he can start contributing to the tasks above after some training.  

Qualifications 

  • Candidates must hold a PhD degree or similar.
  • Candidates for a Senior Research Scientist position should have experience as assistant professor/researcher/postdoc or similar qualifications
  • Didactic/pedagogic training is desired but not necessary

    Applicants must possess and document an experimental expertise in antenna measurements as well as a theoretical expertise on antennas and antenna measurements; documentation should be in the form of publications in international scientific journals. The experimental expertise must include an understanding of the operation principles of microwave instruments such as antennas, network analysers, signal generators and receivers, mixers, multipliers, switches, and transmission lines as well as data acquisition for systems of such instruments; it must also include an understanding of the uncertainties of measurements. 

    Applicants must be ready to actively and constructively engage in collaborations with colleagues in the Electromagnetic Systems group and with external partners from Danish and European academia and industry.

    Assessment 
    In the assessment of the candidates consideration will be given to:  

    • scientific production and research potential at international level
    • innovative skills and talent for generating new ideas
    • communication skills and ability of providing scientific advice to public sector authorities
    • willingness to promote and utilize research results
    • an all-round experience basis, preferably including international experience
    • the ability to contribute to development of internal and external cooperation 

    We offer
    We offer an interesting and challenging job in an international environment focusing on education, research, public-sector consultancy and innovation, which contribute to enhancing the economy and improving social welfare. We strive for academic excellence, collegial respect and freedom tempered by responsibility.
