WORKPLACE DESCRIPTION

Institute of Mechanical and Electrical engineering covers research and education spanning from fundamentals to applications of engineering science. All our courses are taught in English reflecting the fact that more than half our students and staff are internationals. The Centre for Industrial Mechanics is located at SDU’s beautiful campus in Sønderborg, in the inspiring building of Alsion, which is a centre for science, culture and learning in the heart of Sønderborg and perched on the strait of water separating the island of Als from the mainland. The university has very close relations to the industry in Sønderborg, Southern Denmark and Northern Germany. A significant fraction of the projects in the centre are conducted in close cooperation with the industry, which count world leading companies in growing fields such as e-mobility, automation, climate solutions and energy efficiency.
At the Centre for Industrial Mechanics, research, education and innovation are performed in teams of scientists and support staff with competences spanning a wide range of fields including applied cyber-physical systems, mechanical structure integrity and life assessment, heating and cooling, energy systems including PtX, modelling and mechatronic prototyping.

To complement our team, we are looking for three associate professors within mechanical engineering, covering the academic fields of :

• Computational Fluid Dynamics including capillary flow,
• Flow and simulation for hydraulic systems,
• Additive manufacturing of polymers and metals.

The ideal candidates will push our research and innovation agenda as part of the team and will take charge of teaching one or more of the following topics: Mechanical and/or mechatronics projects, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, CFD, and similar courses at bachelor and master levels, and depending on position, mentoring junior research staff and students.
