Do you want to help lead green and sustainable societies?
DTU Electro invites applications for a position as full professor in Power Magnetics. The position focuses on magnetic components modelling, optimization, and integration to achieve high-efficiency and high-power-density converters for various power electronics applications.
We need a professor in Power Magnetics to strengthen the department’s research and education in power electronics, particularly related to magnetic materials, components design, and applications.
You will be part of our Electronics Group conducting both fundamental and applied research within power electronics, converter-based power systems and IC design – all contributing to the green transition and a sustainable future as well as technology for improving people’s lives.
You will play a key role in:
- Conducting research and education in power magnetics, utilizing advanced tools and methodologies to understand the physical behaviours of magnetic components under high-frequency conditions, including skin and proximity effects, magnetic core loss, and parasitic capacitance and inductance,
- Focusing on the power magnetic components modelling, optimization, and integration to develop high-efficiency and high-power-density converters.
- Developing integrated magnetics technologies for micro-inductors and micro-transformers used in monolithic power converters.
- Leading and communicating research in magnetics for power electronics, while innovating in applications such as data centres, EVs, and wireless power systems.
- Establish outstanding, externally funded research programs.
- Engaging in teaching and supervision across all student levels.
- Collaborate closely with other faculty members, as well as faculty from other DTU departments and other universities.
You have gained international recognition within the research field and demonstrated the ability to collaborate across disciplines e.g. Physics, Nanofabrication, as well as Photonics.
Your track record proves your ability to attract prestigious national and international funding, lead reputational research projects, and publish and disseminate research at a high international level. You are a dedicated and experienced teacher for whom the education of students is a key responsibility. You are keen on the further development of the collaboration with national and international research institutes and industries through collaborative projects to strengthen and develop power electronics in Denmark.
You value visionary and meaningful communication, and you are motivated by delivering and take lead in engaging teaching at the BEng, BSc, MSc and PhD levels. The position will involve teaching in existing courses and developing new relevant course materials by bringing the newest results from your research into our teaching to educate the new generation of graduates within electrical engineering.
You will develop teaching activities to support DTU’s ambition of 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.
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.
