- Fuldtid
The position is in the Meteorology and Remote Sensing section at DTU Wind and Energy Systems. We conduct our research on how remote sensing techniques can be used for wind energy applications. You will be part of a team that works with satellite observations of meteorological parameters such as wind, rain, and lightning. You will use the satellite observations and ground based remote sensing data to map wind resources offshore, in order to investigate wind farms and their impact on the wind climate around them, and to predict the damaging effect of rain and lightning on wind turbine blades.An important aspect of your daily work will be to participate actively in our current research projects, where you will manage projects and work packages, and interact with internal and external stakeholders. We expect you have profound experience in seeking funding for new projects to realize your own ideas and research objectives. You will have a large degree of freedom to plan, execute, and publish your research in collaboration with colleagues as well as external partners from the wind energy industry and other academic institutions.Your primary responsibilities and tasks:
- Retrieve wind, rain and lightning information from satellite observations.
- Analyze satellite-based data sets in combination with other data types such as ground based remote sensing observations, in situ observations, and outputs from weather models.
- Disseminate your results in international peer-reviewed journals and conferences.
- Participate in national and international research projects and take a coordinating role, when needed.
- Contribute to the ongoing teaching and training activities offered by DTU Wind Energy. 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.
- A strong background in meteorology, geophysics or similar.
- Experience with analysis of spatial data sets from satellites, ground based remote sensing, or weather models.
- Excellent project management skills including a flair for stakeholder management and coordination of complex projects and activities.
- Competent programming skills in Matlab or Python.
- Experience with High Performance Computing (HPC) is an advantage.
- Research experience
- Experience and quality of teaching
- Research vision and potential
- International impact and experience
