We seek a dynamic and outgoing leader and professor to
head our Centre for Acoustic-Mechanical Micro Systems
(CAMM). CAMM is a joint centre between DTU Electrical Engineering and DTU
Mechanical Engineering. It is sponsored by the Danish
Hearing Aid industry and has presently a staff of 10 scientists working in the
area spanning from micro mechanical systems to acoustic technologies.
The research activities are in the
following areas:
- The development and application of numerical methods applicable to
acoustic, mechanical systems and interaction between the two in the form
of multiphysics systems.
- The development and
application of methods within one or more of the areas of fluid dynamics
applied to airflow over small objects, material properties and process ability
of thin-walled components, development of new types of materials with
specific properties.
- The development and
application of methods within one or more of the areas of contact models
for finite element calculations (FEM), FEM applied to moving structures,
BEM applied to acoustics in lossy media, simulation of air flow around
small objects, FEM applied to
material properties and processing conditions.
- Synthesis tools for
small scale acoustic and multiphysics systems – for example using
automated synthesis tools based on shape and topology optimization.
The research
should also form the basis for educational initiatives, e.g., new courses and inspiring
supervision of students. Moreover, the
activities are expected to lead to innovation in area.
Responsibilities and tasks
As professor you are expected to be
instrumental in further developing the centre as an internationally leading
centre within the field. You will work together with the managements of DTU
Electrical Engineering and DTU Mechanical Engineering and with industrial
partners to create a centre that serves as a unique platform for the
development of the field of acoustic mechanical micro systems – a field
focusing on the acoustic and mechanical parameters involved in the process of
analysing and designing small audio systems and other miniaturized systems
involving acoustics. Special attention is given to the interdependence between
acoustic and mechanical parameters.
The position involves the following
primary areas of responsibility:
- You will lead and develop CAMM’s scientific
efforts in an inspiring and dynamic way in all areas of its research
activities.
- You will oversee the educational responsibilities
of the centre and help to establish a number of courses that will ensure
that students become familiar with the field.
- You will stimulate collaboration between
scientific and technical staff in the centre and those not directly part
of the centre including relevant acoustic and mechanical centres and
sections across DTU and industrial partners.
- You will actively stimulate innovation in CAMM
including student innovation.
- You take a deep interest in building up CAMM´s
portfolio in areas that support further technological development within
the area of personalized audio systems and other areas where micro systems
are involved.
A position as professor with special responsibilities involves all the
usual duties associated with a full professorship, as well as fixed-term specific
duties associated with the position.
The
professor is expected to participate in teaching at
the BSc, MSc and PhD levels. For international
candidates, DTU can provide Danish language courses enabling the candidates to
teach in Danish within 2-3 years.
Qualifications
You should already have obtained well-documented
international recognition within your research field. Employment implies
original research at the highest international level within one or more of the above-mentioned
research themes.
As the successful candidate, you should preferably be
able to document experience with teaching at all university levels from
bachelor to PhD. Moreover, familiarity
with modern web based teaching methods will also be seen as an advantage.
We expect that you have some experience
with innovation processes in the form of knowledge transfer to industry or
filing of patent ideas.
Experience in the management of a
medium-sized research team is essential and you should enjoy close contact with
industrial stakeholders. Outstanding communication skills are required.
Experience in obtaining research funding is also a requirement.
Assessment
In the assessment of the candidates, consideration will be given to:
- Documented experience
and quality of teaching and curriculum development
- Research impact and
experience, funding track record, and research vision
- Societal impact
- Documented innovation
activities, including commercialization and collaboration with industry
- International impact
and experience
- Leadership and
collaboration
- Communication skills
Consideration will also be given to:
- ability to form strong and productive
collaborations with both university partners and commercial partners.
- track record of interdisciplinary research
