Associate Professor in Modeling and Analysis of Thermal Energy Systems for the Built Environment (2024-224-05871)

At the Faculty of Engineering and Science, Department of the Built Environment, a position as Associate Professor in Modeling and Analysis of Thermal Energy Systems for the Built Environment is open for appointment from 1 August 2024 or soon hereafter. This position is located in Copenhagen.

Jobbeskrivelse
Research areas will be within energy-efficient HVAC in buildings and district thermal networks. The candidate will employ computational modeling and simulation techniques to design and analyse innovative system solutions across multiple scales, ranging from individual components to entire buildings and large-scale districts. The ideal candidate will possess the following skills:

• Demonstrated solid research experience in system simulation and mathematical modeling of HVAC systems, district heating/cooling networks, and thermal energy storage using the Modelica language.
• Strong knowledge of thermo-fluid dynamics and heat transfer mechanisms in buildings.
• Programming skills(e.g. Python), preferably related to the development of automated workflows in building/district energy simulations.
• Experience in indoor climate analyses(e.g. thermal comfortExperience in writing project proposals for national and international funds in the field of HVAC systems, district heating and cooling networks and thermal storage.
• Experience in writing project proposals for national and international funds in the field of HVAC systems, district heating and cooling networks and thermal storage.
• Experience of leading roles in research projects(e.g. work package/task leader)

Teaching will primarily be in Modelica-based simulation of building and district energy systems, indoor environmental quality, and building engineering systems, but also in other study programs at Aalborg University.
