If you have a strong desire and will to establish yourself as a scientist, and you are looking for the best possible foundation for fulfilling your dreams and ambitions, it could be right here!

At DTU Energy, you can break new ground at the absolute scientific forefront and become an internationally leading expert in the development and application of novel computational techniques to bridge atomic-scale materials design with simulations, synthesis and experiments. Using for example machine learning and autonomous workflows integrating data from all parts of the materials discovery and innovation cycle, you can play a key role in the development of a closed-loop optimization framework capable of accelerating the discovery of sustainable energy materials for a greener world. Join us in developing next-generation battery materials and electrocatalysts for sustainable production of fuels and chemicals – with the potential of influencing lives of people and businesses all over the world.

The position is part of DTU’s Tenure Track program. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility. We develop talent by offering a career mentor, state-of-the-art research infrastructure, and postgraduate teacher training. DTU’s Tenure Track is an appointment of at most six years, during which you will receive career support in the form of professional and personal guidance. At the end of the tenure track appointment you will be evaluated by an external assessment committee, who will assess your appointment to a permanent Associate Professorship.

Become a leading expert in autonomous materials discovery
Your overall focus will be to strengthen the department’s competences in the development and application of novel computer- and AI-based methods to accelerate and bridge atomic-scale materials simulations with automated synthesis robotics, simulations and experiments at longer time and length scales. A long-term ambition will be to develop an autonomous closed-loop infrastructure capable of orchestrating the discovery, synthesis and characterization of new electrochemical energy materials and interfaces.

You will work closely with colleagues at DTU as well as leading national and international collaborators in academia and industry. As a start, part of your research is expected to relate to ongoing long-term fundamental research initiatives, such as the large-scale European project Battery Interface Genome – Materials Acceleration Platform (BIG-MAP) and the Villum Center for the Science of Sustainable Fuels and Chemicals (V-Sustain), both lead by DTU.

You are expected to develop your career and establish yourself as an independent scientist. You must contribute lively to the development and application of novel computational approaches to push the forefront of scientific research and innovation in accelerated/autonomous materials discovery and development.
