Every system is dependent on reliable performance of its components and here you have the chance to define the next generation of high voltage components - cables transformers overhead lines switchgear and accessories. The work is supported by comprehensive laboratories state-of-the-art tools and strong collaborations internally and externally. We offer an inclusive environment that values creativity teamwork and personal growth and we encourage you to bring your vision and ambition to the table.

We are committed to helping you grow into a leading academic within your will be our key academic person within high voltage engineering and you are expected to grow in the position and develop a recognized portfolio of activities within teaching student supervision research and innovation in close collaboration with industry and academic colleagues. Applicants applying for the position as DTU Tenure Track Assistant Professor will receive guidance and support to build a strong academic profile and prepare for promotion to Associate Professor.

Responsibilities and qualifications
As Associate or Assistant Professor you will strengthen our research education and innovation in high voltage engineering with focus on high voltage components design performance life time and optimized utilization.

This field encompasses the design principles insulation coordination reliability and lifetime performance of highvoltage components - cables joints and terminations bushings transformers switchgear and insulators - across both AC and HVDC applications. Optimized utilization of these components is essential for future power systems. This draws on advanced diagnostics (e.g. partial discharges spacecharges under DC dielectric spectroscopy) multi-physics modelling (electro/thermal/mechanical/acoustical) plus upcoming machine learning tools which show promising potentials. Combined with possible High Voltage/Current lab testing and field validation the results ensure robust performance enable dynamic rating design of monitoring and maintenance strategies and improve failure prevention. We expect your scientific background to be aligned with the described field.

The position will benefit from ongoing partnerships and funding within among others insulation coordination in HVAC/DC grids reliable design operation and monitoring of cable accessories and failure and lifetime of composite HV insulators. We have a strong international focus actively engaging in global research collaborations partnerships and networks to advance knowledge and innovation in our field. The environment will enable you to quickly establish yourself in the role and accelerate both your professional development and research activities.

You will benefit from exceptional opportunities for experimental research through our comprehensive High Voltage Lab which is part of the PowerLab facilities (). The laboratory is equipped to handle a wide spectrum of AC and DC requirements including stationary AC voltages up to 800 kV and lightning impulse voltages reaching 1.2 MV and you will have access to a broad range of diagnostic and simulation tools. The labs are currently used for among others corona-tests electro-thermal model validation novel cable technology and lightning protection systems for wind turbines. The operation of the PowerLab infrastructures is ensured by a dedicated team of technicians and engineers.

Your primary responsibility will be to:

• Teach and supervise BSc and MSc students and contribute to course and curriculum development.
• Lead fundamental and applied research in collaboration with PhD students and relevant collaborators.
• Contribute to innovation and potential scientific advice activities.
• Attract research funding execute research projects and collaborate with academic colleagues and industry nationally as well as internationally.
• Contribute to the section division and department operation.

Youwill be responsible for the teaching of courses. 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 tocommunicate competently in candidates who are not fluent in Danish will be supported through language courses.

We place great emphasis on your personal qualities and expect that you:

• Act with high personal integrity in the best interest of the organisation
• Thrive in collaboration and teamwork with colleagues in an environment where we contribute help and support one another
• Are curious and proactive in exploring new solutions and technologies
• Are willing to take initiative and contribute to the development of our shared practices

As a formal qualification you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent)in electrical engineering (power systems highvoltage engineering power components or similar). If you are applying for the associate professor position you should also have academic qualifications equivalent to those obtained by holding an assistant professorship and documented didactic/pedagogic training.

You will be assessed against the responsibilities and qualifications stated above and the following general criteria:

• Experience and quality of teaching
• Research experience
• Research vision and potential
• International impact and experience
• Societal impact
• Innovativeness including commercialization and collaboration with industry
• Leadership collaboration and interdisciplinary skills
• Communication skills

For applicants to the Associate Professor position demonstrated leadership in research projects industrial collaboration and a record of securing research funding are expected plus documented teaching experiences beyond supervising students. For Tenure Track Assistant Professor applicants potential for independent research and willingness to develop teaching skills are prioritized.
