Research Scientist in Structural Analysis and Design Optimization of Wind Turbine Rotor Blades

jobbeskrivelse:
A Research Scientist position is available at the Department of Wind Energy – Section for Wind Turbines - at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). Responsibilities and tasks The goal of the research is to develop new and improve existing probabilistic methods for wind turbine design which lead to reduced uncertainties and improved reliability. The main focus areas will be probabilistic models for environmental conditions, design loads and material properties, Impact of aero-servoelastic models on design, structural reliability and predictive O&M with health monitoring. It is required that the research is published as journal papers and presented at scientific conferences. Most of the work will be done in national and international funded research projects, and seeking additional external funding means will be encouraged. It is expected that up to 25% of the work time will be spent on teaching activities, including teaching on the course “Probabilistic methods in wind engineering” and co-supervision of PhD and M.Sc. students. Qualification •Good knowledge in at least one and preferably all of these disciplines: •Specialization in structural reliability •Candidates should have a PhD degree in Mechanical engineering or allied discipline •Statistics and probability theory •Reliability •Time series analysis •Structural dynamics •Aero-elastic modelling and design •Wind turbine design standardization •finite-element modelling • Work experience with wind energy is an advantage •Good teaching skills are an advantage •Ability to work independently towards the research goals •Fluency in communicating, reading and writing English Assessment In the assessment of the candidates consideration will be given to •scientific production and research potential at international level •innovative skills and the ability to generate new ideas •the ability to communicate at all levels such as the provision of scientific advice to public sector authorities •experience in teaching and education •an all-round experience basis, preferably including international experience •the ability to contribute to development of the department’s internal and external cooperation We offer We offer an interesting and challenging job in an international environment focusing on education, research, public-sector consultancy and innovation, which contribute to enhancing the economy and improving social welfare.
