DTU Tenure Track Researcher in Experimental High Pressure Phase Behavior for CO2 Storage and Other Sustainable Applications DTU Chemistry

DTU Chemistry invites applications for a tenure-track researcher position within the field of experimental high pressure phase behavior.

The position involves conducting advanced measurements of high-pressure phase equilibria and thermophysical properties related to CO₂ storage and other high-pressure processes supporting sustainable technologies. The successful candidate will also contribute to the development and improvement of experimental methods and measurement techniques in this field.

High-pressure phase behavior and thermophysical properties are essential for the reliable design and safe operation of CO₂ storage and other sustainable high-pressure geological CO₂ storage properties such as phase equilibria density and viscosity govern injection performance plume migration and long-term other sustainable applications including hydrogen storage and supercritical processing accurate high-pressure data are crucial to reduce uncertainty and ensure both technical performance and environmental integrity.

Responsibilities and qualifications
The researcher will be responsible for maintaining and operating the high-pressure experimental facilities in our laboratory and for conducting high-pressure phase behavior measurements across a range of research projects. The position also involves further development of high-pressure measurement techniques as well as active participation in project proposal preparation and project management.

You must contribute to 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 to master both.

The ideal candidate should have:

• A strong track record in measuring high-pressure phase equilibrium and thermophysical properties.
• Experience in the development and implementation of novel high-pressure measurement techniques.
• Demonstrated ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary research environment.

Project management experience is an additional advantage.

As formal qualification you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).

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

• Research experience
• Experience and quality of teaching
• Research vision and potential
• 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.
