Job Category: VIP AJob Description:Are you looking to fulfill your dreams and ambitions for excellent research, while being embedded in a collaborative and social environment? Then this position is right for you!The Department of Wind and Energy Systems at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) invites applications for a position as Professor in the area of Impact Assessment for energy systems and technologies.In the department, we conduct mission-oriented research and education with the aim to enable the transition to a fully sustainable energy system. We offer a multidisciplinary, international, and friendly atmosphere, encouraging creativity, diversity, and teamwork. You will have a great opportunity to build strong networks with internationally known researchers at DTU and other universities as well as industrial partners.We are building up capabilities in technology and policy impact assessment building onto our existing optimization models and tools with the aim of developing a comprehensive understanding for whole-system impacts of different energy technology innovations and policy interventions. This will inform our existing research and industry collaboration towards effectiveness. It will open up multi-disciplinary research opportunities in Impact Assessment as such.Responsibilities and qualifications
Your task will be to lead research in the field of impact assessment of energy technologies and policies within energy systems. The interdisciplinary research can draw from operations research, systems engineering, mathematical modelling, data science, economics and political analysis. The work will require quantitative analysis and modelling that integrates and handles various interdependent data such as technology characteristics, cost distributions and components, material choices, sizing of components and plants, wake and cluster effects of renewable plants, time series resource data, regional resource potential curves, technology mixes in systems, interdependencies with demand, PtX and fuel and storage options – and brings these together into a comprehensive assessment framework including technical, economic and social evaluation criteria. Feedback loops to existing optimization models in the department shall be established. Furthermore, an improved understanding of the impact of our research activities will be employed to inform the department strategic focus and improve the quality of research applications.We seek candidates with experience in energy impact analysis, such as regarding the introduction of new technologies or technology innovations in energy systems, as well as the effect of energy and climate policies on technology design choices. The evaluation will entail impacts including costs and benefits, market values, emissions reductions and materials consumption against different long-term energy scenarios, with the aim of determining system needs for future technology innovation, including production characteristics, provision of system services, value creation, and maximization of co-benefits.You must demonstrate the ability to develop quantitative models and operational tools for energy systems analysis and have the ambition to connect different tools and/or their inputs and outputs for comprehensive assessment. You should be interested in technology development, and the interplay between investment, operation and optimization of technologies. Knowledge about economic principles and the functioning of energy markets is beneficial.We welcome innovative candidates, who are able to implement ideas, are able to collaborate across disciplines, and who have demonstrated excellence research management. Dissemination of the research, scientifically and in the public domain, will be an important responsibility. Interest in commercialization of research-based products related to software, data and services is expected.You must demonstrate the ability to attract external funding from public and private sources and to deliver excellent research and education results. Successful collaboration with industry is a prerequisite. Experience in teaching and supervision of PhD students, as well as Bachelor and Master students should be listed.Besides research, you are also expected to take a leading role in teaching at the BSc, MSc and PhD levels. You will develop teaching activities to support DTU’s ambition about having Europe’s best engineering education.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.Depending on the capabilities and interests of the selected candidate, as well as the overall development of the research area, the position may encompass line management responsibility. Successful candidates will be expected to build a group around their research area.You will be assessed against the responsibilities and qualifications stated above and the following general criteria:

• Documented experience and quality of teaching and curriculum development
• Research impact and experience, funding track record and research vision
• International impact and experience
• Societal impact
• Innovativeness, including commercialization and collaboration with industry
• Leadership, collaboration, and interdisciplinary skills
• Communication skills

Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union.Further information

Your complete online application must be submitted no later than 8 July 2025 (23:59 Danish time).Applications must be submitted as one PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration. To apply, please open the link “Apply now”, fill out the online application form, and attach all your materials in English in one PDF file. The file must include:

• Application (cover letter) addressed to the President
• Vision for teaching and research
• CV including employment history, list of publications indicating scientific highlights, H-index and ORCID (see

) including documentation of teaching experience * Academic Diplomas (MSc/PhD)You can learn more about the recruitment process .Applications received after the deadline will not be considered.All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, disability, race, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply. As DTU works with research in critical technology, which is subject to special rules for security and export control, open-source background checks may be conducted on qualified candidates for the position.DTU Wind and Energy Systems, which used to be a division of Risø National Laboratory (until 2012), has undertaken basic research, teaching and commercial activities in all aspects of wind energy since the mid-1970’s. DTU Wind and Energy Systems is now a department under the Danish Technical University, and the world’s largest public research institute for wind energy and energy systems, with 450 staff members with a strong portfolio of national and international research projects. The department is internationally recognised as being in the forefront of wind energy technology and smart energy systems research. DTU Wind and Energy Systems has coordinated many of the very large wind-energy related research initiatives at EU level such as European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) Joint Programme Wind.DTU Wind and Energy Systems currently has 4 divisions, namely: i) Materials and Components for Wind Energy, ii) Wind Turbine Technology, iii) Wind Energy Systems, and iv) Electric Power and Energy. Each division has approximately 100 employees. At DTU Wind and Energy Systems, we educate and train the next generation of engineers for a sustainable energy future. We collaborate with global leaders in industry and public authorities around the world to research and develop new technologies and services to power the green transition.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.
