Professor in Inorganic Chemistry

DTU Chemistry invites applications for a position as full professor in Inorganic Chemistry. The position focuses on new contributions to sustainable chemistry.

We need a professor in Inorganic Chemistry to strengthen the department’s research and education within advanced materials chemistry, e.g., catalysis, energy-related, or environmental applications.
The professorship is a part of the section for Organic and Inorganic Chemistry and is expected to interact closely with the other faculty members, as well as faculty from other DTU departments and other universities.

You will play a key role in:

• Investigating the interplay between advanced synthesis, characterization, and extensive understanding of materials with unique and superior properties adapted to the target applications
• understanding complex chemical systems at the molecular level by using state-of-the-art tools in experimental chemistry
• initiating, supervising, and communicating fundamental and applied research in the field of inorganic chemistry

Your track record proves your ability to attract national and international funding, lead large-scale international research projects, and publish and disseminate research at a high international level.
You are keen to further develop the collaboration with national and international research institutes and industries through collaborative projects to strengthen and develop inorganic chemistry in Denmark.

You will get a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment, collaborating and networking with research colleagues from all over the world. The position offers academic freedom, tempered by responsibility, in an ambitious department with recognized academic excellence, innovation, and education within advanced and applied chemistry.

You have gained international recognition within the research field. You are able to combine high-level research and publication activity with the exploitation of research results in interaction with industry.

We are among the internationally leading departments of chemistry within several topics under the main areas: physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and organic chemistry. We are responsible for research-based teaching at the BSc, MSc, as well as PhD level. We actively support career paths through talent management, and we culture internal collaboration between scientists and scientific disciplines. The Department has 150 employees including presently 25 faculty members.

You are expected to take a lead role in teaching at the BEng, BSc, MSc, and PhD levels. 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
