Department of Engineering at Aarhus University, Denmark, has an open position in the Civil and Architectural Engineering Section for a full Professor of Computational Methods in Civil Engineering. Applicants are expected to have a general academic profile in civil engineering, and to be engaged in top civil engineering research and teaching.

Aarhus University has made an ambitious strategic investment in a 5-year recruitment plan to increase its activities significantly within research and education in the engineering sciences with the vision of bringing Aarhus University into the global engineering elite. Therefore, the University seeks exceptional innovative and visionary engineering researchers to be part of this build-up to strengthen and develop Civil and Architectural Engineering at Aarhus University. This full professorship is one of several positions within this strategy.

The position is available from August 2017 or as soon as possible thereafter. Responsibilities include developing an innovative strategic research agenda together with colleagues and external partners, nurturing and leading excellent research activities, contributing to an inspiring and industrially relevant education at undergraduate and graduate levels and expanding industrial collaboration. 

The successful candidate has a strong documented talent and experience in the fields of computational mechanics related to building structures and soil with focus on computational methods, structural dynamics, soil dynamics, wave propagation in solids and structures, soil-structure interaction, and material modelling for soil and construction materials.

The ideal candidate is expected to contribute to the development of the Civil Engineering research programme in general, and in particular to develop a research group in computational methods that connects the other research groups. More specifically, the candidate is expected to:

  • Be able to drive the build-up of internationally competitive research activities, and/or contribute to strengthening the current research activities.
  • Hold an exceptionally strong research profile demonstrating his/her international stature in structural and geotechnical engineering
  • Have an internationally recognized research profile in computational methods
  • Have significant teaching experience in the domain on both MSc and PhD level  
  • Actively contribute to the establishment of an externally funded research programme in computational methods and soil-structure interaction. 
  • Develop and enhanced interdisciplinary collaboration within the Department, and between the Department and relevant national and international research communities

Applicants are expected to demonstrate a distinguished publication record evidenced by appropriate bibliometric parameters in prestigious construction-related journals. A pre-existing strong international research network is required from successful candidates, along with experience in attracting new research funding. A long-term strategic research plan must also be included in the application.
