Tenure Track Researcher in Advanced Turbomachinery
Overview
The Technical University of Denmark offers a tenure track position for a researcher in advanced turbomachinery within the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering. This role is situated in the Section of Thermal Energy, which partners with academic and industrial entities to optimize energy conversion technologies that aid the green transition. Research focuses span power generation, refrigeration and heat pump systems, internal combustion engines, biomass utilization, energy storage, electrified transport systems, and industrial electrification, with a specific emphasis on high-efficiency turbomachinery and thermodynamic cycle innovation.
Who can apply
Candidates must be early-career researchers looking to build an independent research profile. Applicants are required to have demonstrated research experience at the postdoctoral or researcher level in turbomachinery, supported by a strong profile in thermal sciences grounded in a mechanical engineering background.
Requirements
The position requires experience in the conceptualization, modelling, design, and optimization of turbomachinery. Applicants must have a proven ability to lead the publication of research results in leading international journals, along with experience in developing competitive research proposals. Teaching and supervision experience is necessary, alongside strong interpersonal skills for working independently and collaboratively in an interdisciplinary setting. Experience with industrial collaboration or externally funded research projects serves as an advantage.
What you get
The role involves strengthening the department competences in turbomachinery modelling, analysis, optimization, and experimental investigation across power generation, heat pump and refrigeration systems, and thermo-mechanical energy storage. Appointees collaborate with colleagues at the university as well as domestic and international academic and industrial partners, and develop competitive research proposals.
