Associate Professor in Radioecology

Technical University of Denmark - DTU Sustain - Department of Environmental and Resource Engineering

Location: Lyngby - Denmark
Salary: Based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Permanent
Placed On: 10th September 2024
Closes: 3rd November 2024

If you want to boost your career as a researcher and educator within one or more areas of radioecology, radiation physics and consequence modelling, here is the chance! We offer an opportunity to join the faculty at one of the world’s leading university departments in environmental engineering. At DTU Sustain you work at the forefront of science providing solutions to major societal challenges related to climate change, circularity, sustainability, and environmental quality.

DTU Sustain has been very productive and successful during the last decades within radioanalytical chemistry, environmental radioactivity and tracer studies using radionuclides and has established a strong competence in this field. The radioecology and tracer study group is world-wide well-known for its work in environmental monitoring of radioactivity, radiochemical analysis and radiotracer studies. 

Responsibilities and qualifications

Your overall focus will be to strengthen DTU Sustain’s competences within the areas of environmental radioactivity assessment, radioecology and consequence modeling. Current topics in the group are monitoring of radioactivity in environment and food, ocean water circulation and marine environment studies using natural and anthropogenic radioisotope tracers, radioanalytical methodology, radiological characterization for various waste samples from decommissioning and operation of nuclear facilities, radioecology and radiation risk assessment. Your expertise can contribute to further development of these research topics but potentially also add new relevant topics.

You will interact with academia, students, public authorities, consultants, and industrial partners in Denmark as well as abroad.

Employment implies original research at the highest international level within one or more of the following research themes:

  • Radioecology 
  • Radiation Physics
  • Consequence modelling 
  • Techniques for analysis of radionuclides

For the position the potential for contributing to the group and for world-class performance within the area is key in the evaluation process. Candidates are not expected to meet all the wishes nor perform within all the topics listed below.

We expect that you have a strong Danish and/or international platform and strong background or experience within the topics. 

Your primary tasks will be, in collaboration with the group, to:

  • Perform research at an international level in the cross-field of waste, resources, sustainability, and circularity.
  • Build up, develop, and contribute with new experimental approaches and modelling methods (laboratory experimentation, data interpretation). 
  • Contribute to research in the group and with colleagues in related sections (materials, environmental assessment, etc.).
  • Enhance the competence of group in the following fields: 
  • Radioecological risk assessment. 
  • Consequence modelling
  • Investigations of dispersion of radioactivity in the ecosystem, ocean, atmosphere and terrestrial
  • Measurement techniques for radionuclides (gamma, alpha and beta radiation, dose rate) 
  • Provide public sector consultancy to inform decision making with regards to environmental radiation safety.
  • Teach and supervise BSc and MSc student projects and be supervisor for PhD students covering a broad range of waste related topics.

You must 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 to master both.

As formal qualification you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) as well as academic qualifications equivalent to those obtained by holding an assistant professorship and documented didactic/pedagogic training.

Application procedure

Please submit your online application no later than 3 November 2024 (23:59 Danish time)
