Assistant Professor in Floating Wind Technology

Are you passionate about scientific research in support of the green transition? Would you like to be part of our ambitious team in offshore wind energy at DTU Wind? 

We strive every day to break the scientific ground for tomorrow’s floating wind technology. We offer an exciting job in an ambitious environment. If you are looking for a strong platform to develop a research career based in fluid and offshore mechanics in constant interaction with colleagues, we encourage you to apply.

Responsibilities and qualifications

Your overall focus will be to strengthen DTU Winds profile in floating wind energy with a special focus on nonlinear hydrodynamic fluid-structure interaction and the interaction between the hydrodynamic and rotor-based motion response. Computational Fluid Dynamics will be an integral part of the scientific research including development of relevant solvers and re-simulation of model test results. 

You will be a member of the Fluid and Offshore Mechanics section, which has a strong track record in offshore aero-elasticity, numerical flow computation and experimental work. You will work with nearby colleagues and international collaborators and be an active contributor to the ongoing project formation and funding acquisition.

Your primary tasks will be  

• Contribute to teaching within Offshore Wind Energy
• Hydrodynamic remodelling of model test results in OpenFOAM
• Development of hydrodynamic load and response models
• Development of digital twin solutions in mid and high fidelity
• Planning and execution of physical model tests for floating wind turbines
• Scientific publication
• Contributing to grant proposals
• Supervision of MSc and BSc studies 

You must be responsible for the teaching of courses. DTU employs two working languages: Danish and English. You are expected to be fluent in at least one of these languages, and in time are expected to master both.

As formal qualification you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).

DTU Wind and Energy Systems is about taking the technology to the next level. About creating an impact for people and society through research and innovation. In collaboration with the entire energy sector to develop the most effective technology on the planet. We are organized in 4 divisions and 22 sections. The organizational set-up reflects the new role of wind power in the energy systems as well as the continued need for development of new wind turbine technology and materials and components research. We have more than 451 staff members of which 60% are researchers, 20 professors, 107 PhDs, 26 % women, 48 nationalities. 

Technology for people

DTU develops technology for people. With our international elite research and study programmes, we are helping to create a better world and to solve the global challenges formulated in the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Hans Christian Ørsted founded DTU in 1829 with a clear mission to develop and create value using science and engineering to benefit society. That mission lives on today. DTU has 13,500 students and 6,000 employees. We work in an international atmosphere and have an inclusive, evolving, and informal working environment. DTU has campuses in all parts of Denmark and in Greenland, and we collaborate with the best universities around the world.
