jobbeskrivelse:

The Department of Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark invites applications for a position as Associate Professor in Modelling of Urban Water Systems.

The Associate Professor will serve in the Urban Water Systems (UWS) section, one of five sections comprising the Department: Air, Land & Water Resources, Environmental Fate & Effects of Chemicals, Residual Resource Engineering, Urban Water Systems and Water Technology. 
The Urban Water Systems section focuses on managing the urban water cycle with respect to quantity and quality of raw water, potable water, stormwater and wastewater. Strong collaborative relationships exist with the other sections as well as with other DTU departments through Water DTU, Centre for Water Activities at DTU.

The ideal candidate should work at the interface between science and engineering, be responsive to societal needs, have experience and ability to work in a collaborative international research environment, interact well with industrial partners, and be an outstanding and committed educator. The candidate must demonstrate personal qualities of leadership, flexibility, scientific curiosity, and have the ability to work collaboratively in teams, identify and develop new research areas, think holistically and in an interdisciplinary manner.

Responsibilities and tasks
The Associate Professor shall strengthen the Department’s research and research-based teaching in the field of modelling of water supply and/or urban drainage networks in climate-adapted cities of the future. Relevant research areas could include:

• Rainfall-runoff, drainage and flood occurrence in urban environments
• Hydrologic-hydraulic modelling of urban drainage networks and green infrastructure for cloudburst mitigation, environmental protection, and added amenity value
• Data assimilation for water supply and urban drainage network models, including appropriate computational techniques
• Model identification, sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification techniques
• Now- and forecasting of water quantity and quality for real time warning and control
• Risk and sustainability assessment methods applied to urban water systems

This position has natural link to research activities taking place at the Water Technology and Air, Land & Water Resources sections. Furthermore, the position will focus on reinforcing or creating new research links both internally at DTU and with other leading research institutions, as well as on establishing/strengthening research /innovation collaborations with industrial, utility and municipal partners.

The Associate Professor is expected to lecture at the bachelor, master and PhD level, and contribute to further development of B.Eng. and continued education activities on urban drainage and climate change adaptation. Lecturing is to be conducted in collaboration with other faculty members.
