High-voltage components will determine whether future power systems can integrate more renewable energy while remaining reliable, resilient and efficient. At DTU, you can build an ambitious research and teaching portfolio spanning high voltage, equipment, insulation systems, diagnostics, modelling and real-world system performance. We invite you to join DTU Wind and Energy Systems and help shape our future activities in high-voltage engineering. You will have the opportunity to develop your own scientific profile, contribute to the growth of the research area and educate the engineers who will design, operate and maintain. Your research opportunity Your overall focus will be to advance the understanding, design, assessment and utilisation of high-voltage equipment and insulation systems for future AC and HVDC grids and plants. We welcome candidates with a strong profile in high-voltage engineering, spanning areas such as high-voltage equipment and insulation systems, diagnostics and condition assessment, reliability and lifetime, modelling and dynamic utilisation of equipment, and emerging high-voltage technologies and materials. We are particularly interested in work that connects fundamental methods with experimental validation, field data or implementation in power systems. The scope is intentionally broad, allowing you to bring a distinctive scientific vision and complement and develop our existing activities. Experimental facilities and research environment You will have access to the High Voltage Lab within Power LabDK. The laboratory supports experimental research on both AC and DC equipment and includes stationary AC voltages up to 800 kV, lightning impulse voltages up to 1.2 MV, and a range of diagnostic and simulation tools. Current activities include corona testing, electro-thermal model validation, cable technologies and lightning protection for wind turbines. Power LabDK is supported by a dedicated team of technicians and engineers. The wider Power and Energy Systems environment provides opportunities to collaborate across power-system stability and control, HVDC, power electronics, resilience, advanced modelling, data and AI, energy markets, distributed systems and e-mobility. This enables high-voltage research to be connected with the broader challenges facing future power systems. You will be able to build on ongoing research activities, PhD projects and collaborations with academic and industry partners, providing a strong starting point for developing your own research programme. Your primary responsibilities You will: Develop internationally recognised fundamental and applied research within high-voltage engineering. Teach and supervise BSc and MSc students and contribute to course and curriculum development. Supervise PhD students and support the development of early-career researchers. Initiate and lead research projects in collaboration with academic and industrial partners. Attract external research funding and translate research challenges into coherent project portfolios. Use and contribute to the development of the High Voltage Lab and related Power LabDK facilities. Contribute to innovation, scientific advice and the collegial development of the section, division and department. Application procedure Please submit your online application no later than 5 January 2027 (23:59 Danish time) . To view the full announcement and to apply, please click on the 'Apply' button above.
