We seek an ambitious internationally renowned scientist to lift the research area at the Department to an international level through a full professorship. If you are looking for the best possible place to fulfil your dreams and ambitions, then consider this your opportunity to break new ground at the absolute forefront of utilizing the possibilities offered by digitalization to create healthy and sustainable foods.

We conduct research in sustainable and value-adding technological solutions in the area of food and health for the benefit of society. The vision of the department is to prevent disease and promote health, develop new and better food products for a growing population, and create sustainable technological solutions. We believe that innovative development of digital twin solutions to control the quality and resource use in food processing is crucial to reach the goals of healthy and sustainable foods.

Responsibilities and qualifications
The ‘digital twin’—as a research approach—is in its initial stage, but a very high priority at the department. You will lead the development and deployment of digital twin solutions for transdisciplinary applications. You will create a clear vision and direction for the research field, contribute to the development of the research group of around 15 staff members, and promote collaboration both within DTU, on a national level as well as internationally. The research group disposes over a state of art food-tech laboratory and pilot plant. Further, neighbouring research groups run high-class chemical analytical facilities.

Outcomes of your research will yield optimized food processing operations, reduced food quality loss in the supply chain, recipes for new food products with complex composition and characteristics, and optimized uses of food and bioprocessing waste streams.

The successful candidate should have a clear vision for the development of digital twin as a research approach within food processing and quality. You should have a clear understanding of which collaborators at other research institutions to engage with, which industries to initiate collaboration with, and how to advice governmental agencies with the newest knowledge in the food engineering field.

In order to be able to fulfil these aims, you should be an experienced leader of food or bioprocess-tech research projects with a digitalization theme, in charge of analytical infrastructure, and have experience with management.

You are expected to take a lead role in teaching at the BEng, BSc, MSc, and PhD levels and you will be involved in scientific advice for authorities as well as working closely with industrial partners. You will be expected to learn Danish and be able to teach in Danish after 3 years. DTU can provide Danish language courses.

You will be assessed against the responsibilities and qualifications stated above and the following general criteria:

  • Documented experience and quality of teaching and curriculum development
  • Research impact and experience, funding track record and research vision
  • International impact and experience
  • Societal impact
  • Innovativeness, including commercialization and collaboration with industry
  • Leadership, collaboration, and interdisciplinary skills
  • Communication skills

We offer
