Odense M
SDU Center for Energy Informatics (CEI) is an interdisciplinary industry-oriented research and innovation center with an international outlook. The center focuses on development of innovative digital energy solutions that can facilitate the transition towards a sustainable energy system. The center is part of the Faculty of Engineering (TEK), University of Southern Denmark, and located at the main Campus in Odense, Denmark.
CEI invites applications for a number of 4+4 PhD positions. To apply for the 4+4 PhD positions, it is required that the applicant is enrolled in one of the Master’s programmes at the Faculty of Engineering and has completed the first year at the time for enrollment. The starting date for the positions is September 1st, 2020. Application deadline is June 1st, 2020.
Profile and requirements
We are looking for highly motivated and ambitious students with excellent knowledge of English (written and spoken), who can work well in a team as well as independently and quickly acquire knowledge in new topics.
Preferred candidates are required to be enrolled to a TEK master’s programme in engineering or applied physics with documented educational experience in the topics of mathematics, physics, energy system engineering, statistics, optimization, control theory, mathematical modeling and basic programming such as MatLab or C.
The PhD projects
The announced PhD positions are part of implementing the center’s strategic research objectives within the following areas:
Automated data validation, proactive and predictive maintenance for energy systems and processes
The project aims to develop a diagnostic tool for data validation and reconstruction, automatic fault detection and diagnosis, and fault and critical event prediction for digital energy systems. The tool enables predictive maintenance which is a more proactive and efficient maintenance strategy than the currently used inefficient “wait until it breaks” maintenance approach. The development of the diagnostics tool and framework will be carried-out in close collaboration with industry and includes case studies from the center’s research and development projects.
Optimization of energy system design and operation through utilization of automated identification and quantification of demand-side flexibility
The project aims to develop and apply component-based energy system models for optimal system design and operation in a highly flexible distributed multimodal energy system. It will include development of methods for data-based automation of identifying the components flexibility with centralized and decentralized storage options. It will focus on consumers flexibility on various levels to allow for holistic optimization of operation in a future smart energy system. The project will include case studies from the center’s research and development projects on energy flexible buildings, building clusters, island systems, ports facilities and industries.
The application must include a research plan of max. 3 pages, indicating the candidates expected research for the 4-year PhD period. The plan must include problem motivation, state of art, research question, proposed methodology, and expected results. The research plan must address one of the two announced areas and indicate the applicants’ competence to execute the research plan. Research plans addressing other than the announced research areas will not be considered.

Further information is available by contacting Vice Head of Centre, Professor Christian Veje, at email [email protected].
Important information before applying
To be considered for the position it is required that the applicant is enrolled in a master's programme (kandidatuddannelse) at the Faculty of Engineering, SDU, and has completed the first year at the time for enrollment.
The 4+4 PhD fellowship programme is divided into a 22 months grant period followed by an employment period. When the master's degree (kandidatuddannelse) is achieved and you as least have attained a grad of 10 (Danish scale), you will be employed at the same terms as a 3-year PhD fellowship. Read about Work and salary conditions.
The enrollment and employment will cease without further notice at the end of the 4-year period. A PhD fellow is not allowed to have any kind of sideline employment, while enrolled as PhD fellow at the faculty.
Employment is governed by the Protocol on PhD Research Fellows signed by the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations.
The successful candidate will be enrolled at SDU in accordance with Faculty regulations and the Danish Ministerial Order on the PhD Programme at the Universities (PhD order), read more here.
