Kongens Lyngby
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented Ph.D. candidate to join our team and work on our Neuro-Lightning project funded by Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond (DFF) Sapere Aude Grant. The project aims to understand the plasma physics of lightning on microsecond time scales using neuromorphic imaging techniques, a new technique developed for use in other areas but has yet to be applied to lightning research.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with researchers in Denmark, Spain, Switzerland, and France to explore the inner plasma physics of lightning using a newly designed optical imaging system based on neuromorphic imaging techniques. You will participate in designing, building, and calibrating a multispectral neuromorphic imaging system to measure natural and laser-triggered lightning at the Säntis Tower in Switzerland. The project is a collaboration between DTU Space, Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA)-CSIC, and École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). You will be co-supervised by a professor from EPFL in Switzerland, where you will spend your external research stay.
Responsibilities and qualifications
You will focus on the first application of the multispectral neuromorphic camera in a close-range lightning experiment and compare its performance with that of conventional cameras to characterize the optical features of streamers and leaders in natural and laser-trigged lightning. Your primary tasks will be to:
The candidate in some of the following areas is expected:
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
Approval and Enrolment

Assessment
The assessment will be based on the grades (translated into the Danish grading system), the CV, cover letter and the references.
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. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
Salary and appointment terms
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union. The period of employment is 3 years.
Starting date is May 1st, 2024 (or according to mutual agreement). The position is a full-time position.

DTU Space is Denmark's largest space research institute and a recognized international institution. With space as the starting point, we develop new technology, conduct research, educate engineers and PhD candidates, and provide advice, innovation and collaboration nationally and internationally. We link natural science closely with the development of new technology and work with both Earth observation and exploration of the universe. We use satellites, spacecrafts, drones and airplanes to study phenomena on Earth and in space.
Technology for people
DTU develops technology for people. With our international elite research and study programmes, we are helping to create a better world and to solve the global challenges formulated in the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Hans Christian Ørsted founded DTU in 1829 with a clear mission to develop and create value using science and engineering to benefit society. That mission lives on today. DTU has 13,500 students and 6,000 employees. We work in an international atmosphere and have an inclusive, evolving, and informal working environment. DTU has campuses in all parts of Denmark and in Greenland, and we collaborate with the best universities around the world.
