jobbeskrivelse:
DTU Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark invites applications for a position as Professor in Marine Hydrodynamics. DTU Mechanical Engineering is contributing to research, innovation and education within the following scientific areas: Structural and solid mechanics, fluid and hydrodynamics, applied thermodynamics, manufacturing technology, engineering design and product development, materials- and surface engineering. The staff consists of approximately 300 persons including a faculty of 55. The professor will be affiliated to the Maritime group in the Section for Fluid Mechanics, Coastal and Maritime Engineering (FVM) which is one out of six sections in the department employing 38 persons including presently a faculty of 11. The section runs a fluid mechanics laboratory and a large costal engineering laboratory. Responsibilities and tasks The opening of the new position as professor in Marine Hydrodynamics is a result of strategic considerations leading to an increased focus on research and education in maritime engineering. DTU Mechanical Engineering therefore seeks a professor with expertise in the following areas: •numerical methods for solving wave-structure interaction problems in the marine environment •risk-based design procedures for strength and safety of marine structures •advanced ship operation (Performance monitoring, Maintenance, Route optimization) •advanced offshore operations (Installation and maintenance of structures at sea) The new professor will be expected to take a leading role in defining the goals and long-term strategy of research, teaching and innovation activities in the Maritime group of the FVM section. Synergy and coordination of these activities with the Coastal Engineering and Fluid Mechanics groups within the section is also of high priority. Close relations to other research groups at the department and at other departments at DTU working in the field of fluid mechanics and hydrodynamics is also a priority. Furthermore, the professor is expected to attract research funding, to guide and advise junior staff, post-docs and PhD students and to strengthen the teaching activities of the section, especially in the maritime field. The successful candidate is expected to take a lead position in teaching at the bachelor-, master- and PhD levels. Qualifications Candidates are expected to have the following qualifications: •Documented experience in Ocean Engineering or a similar scientific field. •A high level of original scientific production at international level that has contributed to further development of marine hydrodynamics and maritime engineering. •An established record of attracting funding for research. •Documented and successful teaching experience at different levels within the university’s study programmes. •An established record of educating and advising post-docs, PhD and MSc/BSc students. •Documented experience in research management, including handling management assignments in national or international projects, research programmes, congresses etc. Assessment In the assessment of the candidates consideration will be given to •the ability to teach •scientific production at international level, research potential and ability to lead and develop a research team •the ability to promote and utilize research results •experience with innovation activities •an all-round experience basis, including international experience •the ability to contribute to the development of the Department’s internal and external cooperation •track record in attracting funding to the research area •visions within the research area Salary and terms of employment The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Confederation of Professional Associations.
