Are you passionate about technology implementation, interdisciplinary research, and industry collaboration within the field of extended reality? 

We invite you to join our section, Energy Technology and Computer Science, where you will work alongside approximately 25 colleagues with a mix of research and industrial experience. The section focuses on the convergence of three core domains—Energy, Computer Science, and Healthcare. We address two major societal challenges: strengthening the resilience of critical infrastructure, including the security and stability of energy systems and communication networks; and advancing social inclusion and reintegration by enabling equitable participation in society, education, and the workforce. This work is supported through accessible and assistive technologies, particularly for individuals affected by disability and illness. 

Responsibilities and qualifications

Your contribution will be within the field of extended reality and multisensory technologies preferably in several of the following areas:

• Extended reality (XR) and immersive technologies, including presence and user experience
• Multimodal interaction and human perception
• Application of immersive technologies in real-world contexts, including healthcare, learning, and simulation
• Contribution to development of interdisciplinary courses integrating technology, design, and application domains 

In this position, you will have the opportunity to further develop your skills across these areas, as well as other relevant fields. You will also contribute to the section’s research and development agenda through your professional experience and network. 

Your overall focus will be to strengthen the department’s education, research, and industrial collaboration within extended reality and multisensory technologies to fulfil the increasing demand for academic as well as industrial knowledge and competences across multiple engineering programs.

To do so, you will:

• Develop the field by identifying research, and industrial challenges and requirements
• Contribute to and take leadership at different stages of research and development projects
• Teach and supervise in multiple BEng - and part-time diploma-programmes within the above-mentioned fields

You must be responsible for the teaching of courses. 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. 

As formal qualification you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) as well as academic qualifications equivalent to those obtained by holding an assistant professorship and documented didactic/pedagogic training. 

You will be assessed against the responsibilities and qualifications stated above and the following general criteria: 

• Experience and quality of teaching
• Research experience
• Research vision and potential
• International impact and experience
• Societal impact
• Innovativeness, including commercialization and collaboration with industry
• Leadership, collaboration, and interdisciplinary skills
• Communication skills
