The Research Group for Food Allergy at the DTU National Food Institute is looking to recruit a talented and highly motivated postdoctoral researcher for research and innovation projects in immunotherapy.

As our new colleague in the Research Group for Food Allergy at DTU National Food Institute, you will be part of a dynamic and highly ambitious research and innovative environment, with many national and international collaborators from both academia and industries. We offer a vibrant, collegial, and team-oriented research environment with an international atmosphere encouraging creativity and ambitious research.

Do you want to contribute to developing more sustainable materials for underwater acoustics? Piezoelectrics are key materials in sonars used in underwater exploration and monitoring. The state of the art materials are based on lead oxides, which poses an environmental threat during fabrication and end of life. A consortium of European sonar manufacturers, piezoceramics producers, universities and research institutes have now received funding from the European Defence Fund under the European Commission to develop more sustainable sonar materials. We therefore have an opening of at DTU Energy for a postdoc position on fabrication of lead-free piezoelectric materials for sonars with controlled shapes. Your tasks will be to develop reproducible and scalable synthesis routes for such materials. This will include using techniques such as molten salt, hydrothermal and solid state synthesis, additive manufacturing, structural, microstructural and functional characterization. You will collaborate closely with other scientific and technical staff in the department and other European partners in the consortium. 

Would you like to contribute to a new revolution in heating and cooling systems in buildings? Are you looking for an ideal springboard for a future career as a scientist in either academia or industry? The department of Energy Conversion and Storage (DTU Energy) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is looking for a postdoc for a 12-month position in the field of thermoelectric generator integration in building walls, which might just be the right project for you. Thermoelectric Generators (TEG) made of non-strategic materials can lead to a widespread, cost-effective deployment. This project explores converting temperature differences in buildings into electricity using flexible TEG generators, potentially generating 10-20 W per square meter. Our project addresses challenges in optimizing heat transfer, cost-effectiveness, and integration with façade panels. We aim to create scalable, sustainable building solutions. 

The project is integrated in an international project financed by the Innovation Fund Denmark. It is led by the Danish SME TEGnology ApS and also involves partners based in Switzerland. The overall goal is to integrate existing, flexible TEGs in façade panels, to test their potential for exploiting temperature gradients for producing electricity and predict their long-term performance under real operating conditions. The project also includes modeling of heat transfer and optimization of waste heat harvesting. Your role will be to simulate the heat transfer processes between façade panels and thermoelectric generators, focusing on maximizing waste energy recovery efficiency. You are also expected to contribute to the characterization of the thermoelectric generators after field testing and to implement the results of accelerated fatigue tests in heat transfer models to predict the long-term behavior of the façade-TEG composites. 

As a Senior postdoc, you will be able to contribute to designing your own project focusing on implementing cutting-edge algorithms for graph machine learning to integrate and analyze metaomics and metabolomics data. As a researcher, you are expected to publish high-impact papers in leading scientific journals. Additionally, as a senior profile you will help to coordinate projects and provide supervision for junior researchers in the team and contribute to the general data science strategy at the Centre. Further, you will be encouraged to collaborate with fellow researchers, fostering a collaborative and innovative research culture.

The main focus of the postdoc work is development and characterization novel materials including catalysts and polymer membranes for high temperature polymer fuel cells. You will work closely with colleagues from DTU Energy, Danish industrial and international partners within a polymer fuel cell project. The project targets include lifting lower TRL material production (catalyst synthesis and membrane fabrication, developing medium TRL MEA manufacturing (structures and methods), and providing high TRL reference MEAs in industrial stacks and test capacity for validation of the materials/components in operational environment.

DTU Aqua is looking for a postdoc within Veterinary Epidemiology to work with different aspects of aquatic animal epidemiology. Your work will primarily be within a research project where the aim is to develop a best practice protocol for virus surveillance on farm level. One aspect of this is the validation of use of eDNA from water samples compared to tissue samples for early detection of disease. Another is to perform “what if” scenario modelling to compare suitability for different sampling protocols in farms in non-endemic and endemic areas. 

In another project, the aim is to quantify biologic and economic effects of diseases in aquaculture, within the European Partnership on Animal Health and Welfare. Here, the focus will be on notifiable infectious diseases and evaluating cost and effect of surveillance and of different control measures as stamping out or vaccination.  In the partnership, you will be working together with fish health experts, experts on animal health economics and veterinary epidemiologists from several partner institutes in Denmark and Europe: https://www.eupahw.eu/

For this modelling project, we are looking for a postdoc to further develop high performance computing numerical methods in our state-of-the-art open source micromagnetic model, MagTense. MagTense is based on a core implemented in the Fortran programming language, and it relies on the platform CUDA for parallelization of the computation over several GPUs’ cores, and has interfaces with Matlab and Python for ease of use. However, powerful as it is, MagTense is at present limited in its capability to model complicated magnetic systems for two reasons. First, all magnetic sources in a simulation interact, leading to computational resources scaling with the number of sources squared – which is inherently problematic numerically. Secondly, the differential equation used to evolve a magnetic system forward in time might be stiff, thus requiring special numerical techniques. 

You will research and realize numerical techniques that can be used to solve or alleviate the above problems and use your developed methods to model and determine the ideal nano-composites. In collaboration with Aarhus University, you will get to validate your modelling results against experiments. You will also get to supervise a PhD-student hired on a similar topic. Your techniques will be published in the open source MagTense framework, and will be used in powering future beyond-state-of-the-art simulations within magnetism.

Your overall focus will be to strengthen the department’s competencies within structural health monitoring and damage inspection using computer vision and deep learning technologies. You will work with colleagues nearby and with academic and industrial partners in Denmark as well as abroad. Your primary tasks will be to:

• Develop computer vision, image processing and deep learning methods for damage detection of wind turbine blades considering varying conditions such as sunlight, temperature, wind, etc.
• Develop GUI tools for the developed methods. 
• Publish high-quality journal papers. 
• Supervise MSc student projects and be co-supervisor for PhD students.

The focus of this position will be the investigation of meteorological phenomena impacting the wind energy sector, in particular with respect to wind resources and wind conditions. For example, investigating how large-scale wind farm clusters may impact atmospheric and sea conditions over different time and space scales, investigating how wind farm yields may be impacted by proximity of neighbouring wind farm clusters, and understanding different kinds of extreme meteorological events and how these may impact wind energy based power and energy systems. As well being involved in research projects you will take part in highly relevant scientific advice projects, applying your scientific knowledge. 

The central competences required in this research are meteorology, mesoscale modelling, analysis and interpretation of meteorological datasets. We are also interested in hearing from researchers with oceanographic, as well as meteorological, science background.  

DTU Aqua invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral position to develop and apply emulators for Earth System Models (ESMs), with a particular focus on the role of the biological carbon pump in oceanic carbon cycling and climate feedbacks.
