DTU Sustains section Climate and Monitoring offers a 2½-year position as a post-doctoral fellow in detection and quantification of fugitive emissions with focus on direct emissions of greenhouse gases.
You will be a part of a larger project (KhaosGuard – Innovations in remote sensing for better measurement of greenhouse gas emissions), which is a collaboration with DTU Fotonik, manufacturers of laser products, leading providers of gas measurement services and consultants with a global outreach.
The problem addressed is direct emissions of greenhouse gases from industries, utilities, agriculture etc. Minimizing those emissions is of great importance in the effort to mitigate climate change. To minimize direct emissions, accurate and cost-effective measurement methods and instrumentations are needed to asses emissions from various processes, components etc. and to inform facilities in case of defects, which cause increased emissions. We will develop and test both vehicle-based, drone-based and fence-line monitoring applications of laser detection of gaseous emissions from various sources.
KhaosGuard is a 4-year project supported by Innovation Fund Denmark’s Grand Solutions program. The project so far has been in a development phase. You will enter the project in the beginning of the testing phase, where we will conduct the first tests at different facilities such as wastewater treatment plants.
Responsibilities and qualifications
The successful candidate will develop, test and apply our measurement systems as part of a team at DTU Sustain of senior scientists and technicians, other young scientists and PhD students. You will collaborate with another, similar team at DTU Fotonik who are developing the equipment used. Your user feedback is key in the development of measurement methods. The field research requires mobility and work at various locations in Denmark and possibly elsewhere. Scientific programming (for example using R and/or Python) will be needed for process automation for organisation of the data streams and post-processing chains.
As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).
We offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment.
