BEMÆRK: Ansøgningsfristen er overskredet
As a result of recently funded projects, we are building a cross disciplinary research group. We are looking for a chemical engineer (or similar) with extensive business experience, as a part time advisor (special consultant).
Our goals are to develop a local method for mineralising CO2, to convert it back to solid, where it will remain stable on the long term. Even with the very best alternative energy sources and conversion of CO2 into products, current air and ocean CO2 levels will need 1,000 to 10,000 years to return to preindustrial levels. To reduce climate change and ocean acidification, CO2 must be converted to solid and put back into the Earth, where it came from in the first place.
At DTU Physics, we are running several projects in parallel, that range from very fundamental investigations of mineral-organic compound-water-gas properties, to applying research results and designing an industrial CO2 trapping process. The need is urgent, the task is challenging, and a multidisciplinary approach is essential - our highly motivated team includes students and senior scientists: chemists, physicists, nanoscientists, materials scientists, mineralogists, geoscientists, engineers and others.
The job
Your overall responsibility is to help the group leader and advise the team on what needs to be done on the path to creating a company. We expect the position to be 2 or 3 hours a week for the next 3 years.
Our expectations of you
We are looking for a curious, enthusiastic colleague who has an interest in nature, enjoys solving problems and working together, to meet the projects’ goals. We expect you to have:
- an education in chemical engineering
- a degree in business
- experience in management
- experience in creating a startup
- leadership skills
- communication and personal interaction skills
- excellent in English and Danish
Flexibility is essential. An existing network is an advantage. We are looking for a team player who can also work independently, who is motivated to help make, and be part of, a dynamic environment and who has a positive, supportive and creative outlook.
We offer
DTU is among the leading technical universities of Europe and the top in the Nordic countries. The CO2 projects will unite researchers from several DTU departments as well as national and international researchers from a number of fields. The atmosphere in the research group is friendly and supportive, allowing us to produce groundbreaking results, of interest to science and essential for industry. Our mission is to derive new fundamental understanding and use it to solve society’s problems. Our aim at a startup company is well supported by DTU’s focus on technology for people.
Salary and appointment terms
Appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). Salary will be determined by the applicant’s qualifications and in agreement with the relevant union.
The position is for up to 3 hours a week. It starts as soon as possible and is for 3 years.
The workplace is the DTU Lyngby Campus.
