Join us in shaping the next generation of engineers as Assistant/Associate professor in Electric Power Systems

DTU Engineering Technology invites applications for a position as Assistant/Associate Professor in the area of Electric Power Systems in the newly started research group Supply and Infrastructure. The research group also encompasses the area of energy systems seen in the light of the challenging green changeover with electric power as a central energy carrier. Here you will contribute in defining and establishing the research group by defining research projects and research objectives – and you will contribute in the transformation of research into teaching in one or more of the following areas:

  • Electric Power engineering
  • Electrical Installations
  • Power electronics and drive systems
  • Communication systems for industrial applications
  • Communication systems for distributed and intelligent components in the electric power supply / installations

DTU Engineering Technology is located at DTU Ballerup Campus and is part of the Technical University of Denmark. We provide courses and instruction that feed into a number of DTU’s Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) Programmes as well as a range of continuing education formats, including Diploma Programmes. Our approach is research and development-based with a strong focus on professional practice, hands-on experience, problem solving and business readiness, qualifying our graduates to detect, analyse and find solutions to real-world challenges and technical problems across engineering disciplines and in practice-based, complex and development-oriented job functions.

DTU Engineering Technology has an extensive portfolio of industry-university collaborations at both student and faculty level. This forms the basis of our growing research field, technology implementation in engineering and engineering education, which focuses on synthesizing learnings from multiple single cases into the development of new methodology, theory and tools for technology implementation, primarily within the sectors of construction and design of the electric power infrastructure.   

The pedagogical concept of the Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) Programmes is based upon the internationally recognized concept CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate). This is a concept DTU has developed in global cooperation with other universities, ensuring that graduates have a high degree of professionalism and strong personal and interpersonal skills taught in an engineering context.
