This is the first academic job posting on my blog. I'm posting it for my friend and colleague Pierre Pinson. I consider his group a top research group in the area of energy analytics. Knowing Pierre in person and working with him closely on several initiatives, I trust that whomever takes the job will enjoy working with him and have a bright future in the academic world. The original posting is HERE on DTU website.
The Department of Electrical Engineering at Technical University of Denmark seeks highly talented applicants for two positions as Assistant/Associate Professor within Energy Analytics & Markets, with particular interest in optimization, networks, game theory and forecasting, as well as application to various problems in renewable energy integration and energy markets. Alternatively, the successful applicants may be employed as Researcher/Senior Researcher.
Responsibilities and tasks
You will take active part in developing and carrying out research at our Centre for Electric Power and Energy as a member of its Energy Analytics & Markets group. This Centre has received increased recognition internationally for its contribution to both methodological and application-related aspects of modern power system engineering. A key area of focus is on integration of high shares of variable and partly predictable renewable power production through the design of appropriate market mechanisms allowing for efficient and reliable power system operation, while ensuring a proper redistribution of increased social welfare.
The Energy Analytics & Markets group is currently involved in a number of cutting-edge projects for the design and operation of such electricity markets (‘5s’ – Future Electricity Markets), for the generalization to multi-carrier energy markets (CITIES – Center for IT-Intelligent Energy Systems in Cities, and EnergyLab Nordhavn), or for the proposal of new approaches in energy analytics. The group also has leading expertise in renewable energy analytics, more particularly in the modeling and forecasting of renewable energy generation at various spatial and temporal scales. You will contribute to the internal collaboration at the department, external collaboration with industrial partners and take part in management of research and innovation activities. Collaboration is to be expected with other Departments at DTU, e.g., DTU Compute and DTU Management Engineering.
You will take part in the department’s education within the electrical engineering programs at bachelor, master and PhD level.
Qualifications
Candidates for an
You must be good at collaboration with colleagues, students and external partners. Experience from participation in large international/national projects would be an added advantage.
Assessment
In the assessment of the candidates, consideration will be given to
For the specific position consideration will be given to documented experience (at high international level) with at least one of the following topics:
Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed with the relevant union. You should expect to be working both at Risø (in Roskilde) and at Lyngby Campus according to agreement with your immediate superiors.
