丹麦科技大学海上风能气象学博士后职位
The Wind Energy Department at DTU is seeking a candidate for a Postdoc and a Researcher position in the field of offshore meteorology in the field of wind energy meteorology.
Job description
You will be a member of the meteorology section aimed at basic research in the field of boundary layer meteorology, assessment of wind resources for power generation and of wind loads on turbines and various other structures. Our day-to-day work ranges from the development of models and software, field measurements and assessment studies. We also study environmental problems related to the transport of air borne pollution and turbulence exchange of matter during interaction between the atmosphere and terrestrial or marine surfaces.
You will work with a team analyzing offshore meteorological conditions from meteorological observations, satellite remote sensing and possibly atmospheric mesoscale model results to wind energy problems, both in research and commercial projects. You will be expected to collaborate with other groups within the Wind Energy Department, in cross disciplinary projects. As well as developing and implementing new ideas within wind energy meteorology, you would be expected to write scientific articles, project applications, attend and contribute to conferences, workshops and project meetings.
Qualifications
The applicant should have:
- PhD in meteorology, climatology or other closely related
- Experience in analysis offshore meteorological data such as meteorological observations from masts and satellite remote sensing data
- Experience with data programming and/or processing software (e.g. MATLAB, IDL, NCL, R, Fortran, C, or C++) and scripting (e.g. Python, Perl, C-shell), and familiarity with Linux environment
- A strong understanding of atmospheric marine boundary layer processes
- A good record of peer-reviewed scientific publication
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English
- Ability to work independently and to efficiently deliver results on time
- Ability to work as part of a team in a multi-disciplinary environment
- Ability to take initiative, prioritize and work under set deadlines
Optional:
Experience with wind energy resource assessment or other meteorological applications to wind energy or renewable energy
- Experience in supervision of Master and PhD students
- Experience with handling large amounts of satellite data and other large data set such as e.g. atmospheric model results.
We offer
We offer an exciting and challenging job in an international environment with many possibilities for professional and personal growth. DTU Wind Energy is a family friendly organization with flexible working hours.
Assessment
In the assessment of the candidates consideration will be given to:
