DTU Electrical Engineering at Technical University of Denmark invites applications for a position as Professor (with special responsibilities) in Renewable-based Power Systems.

The successful candidate will join our Center for Electric Power and Energy (CEE) that has received increased recognition internationally for its contribution to both new theoretical concepts and application-related solutions of modern power system engineering. A key area of focus is on integration of high shares of variable renewable power production while maintaining an affordable and reliable energy system.

Your research field shall be on one or more topics within the area of renewable-based power systems and their modelling and control. The topics can be for example large-scale wind power integration, optimal operation of power systems with renewables (congestion management, voltage control, etc.), application of data-driven methods for power system operation, integration of power systems with various other energy infrastructures (heating, gas, mobility etc.), or other relevant topic.

CEE strives for academic excellence in research, education, and innovation within electric power and energy, and as a professor, you are expected to contribute to our common goals through your activities and in close and rich collaboration with your colleagues at the centre.



Your tasks include developing a visible and internationally recognized research programme within your research topic related to renewable-based power systems. You will develop cutting-edge research plans, secure major external funding for your ideas, and carry out successful research projects to realize your plans.

Your research will contribute to CEE's overall research aim, namely the development of new knowledge and solutions, which enable the most integrated, marked-based, and flexible energy system based on digital technologies and renewables in a reliable and affordable manner. Specifically, your research will contribute to the three overarching research themes of the centre: 1) Digital energy solutions, 2) Interconnected energy system and 3) Optimized electric energy technologies.

You will contribute to an attractive teaching programme and must be committed to excellence in education, as well as promote, execute and apply modern teaching methods.

As an integrated part of your work, you are expected to build-up a close and confident collaboration with colleagues at DTU, and thereby benefitting from DTU's stronghold position within energy research and activities within for instance electricity markets, smart grids, wind energy, artificial intelligence etc. We expect you to have the ability to motivate your colleagues to be their best and achieve ambitious goals. Additionally, you will contribute to strengthen CEE's international academic network and developing our strategic partnerships with the industry.

The professor is expected to participate in teaching at the BSc, MSc and PhD levels. For international candidates, DTU can provide Danish language courses enabling the candidates to teach in Danish within 2-3 years.

You have the ability to take leadership and build up an outstanding research programme within one or more topics as described above. This implies an excellent record of accomplishments in terms of original scientific production at international level.



You have potential to contribute to innovation and entrepreneurship, and you have documented research management skills, including developing and realizing research plans, building collaborations, attracting funding, and successfully managing research projects.
