Overview
At the Faculties of Engineering, Science and Medicine, Department of Energy Technology a PhD stipend is available within the general study programme Mechanical Engineering. The stipend is open for appointment from September 1, 2010.
Job description
Integration and Optimization of Renewable Energy Systems for Housing
The PhD project is a part of a larger interdisciplinary project framework on the development of CO2 neutral buildings called ZEB (Zero Emission Buildings). See http://www.zeb.aau.dk for more information on the project framework – this PhD project is a part of the work package number two (WP2) in the overall project framework as described on the homepage (see the pane Project Descriptions).
The project takes its starting point in a one-family house. Based on consumption and requirement scenarios, the objective is to analyse and design an optimal energy system for future households. The project is expected to analyse various solutions and technologies in relation to a household’s energy system. In relation to the project, the following subjects are emphasised: optimisation of systemic energy concepts, including control, but also new component and technology possibilities.
Applicants for the PhD position should hold a Master's degree in mechanical or thermal engineering or other relevant field and should have a sound background in modeling of thermo-mechanical systems, thermodynamics and heat transfer. Good simulation skills are a requirement. Experience with laboratory work is advantageous but a non mandatory requirement.
For further information concerning the technical aspects of the stipend, please contact Associate Professor Mads Pagh Nielsen, phone: +45 2425 50 93 or Associate Professor Henrik Sørensen, phone +45 2757 5280 .
PhD stipends are allocated to individuals who hold a Masters degree. PhD stipends are normally for a period of 3 years. It is a prerequisite for allocation of the stipend that the candidate will be enrolled as a PhD student at the Doctoral School of the Faculties of Engineering, Science and Medicine, in accordance with the regulations of Ministerial Order No. 18 of January 14, 2008 on the PhD Programme at the Universities. According to the Ministerial Order, the progress of the PhD student shall be assessed every six months. It is a prerequisite for continuation of salary payment that the previous progress is approved at the time of the evaluation.
The qualifications of the applicant will be assessed by an assessment committee. On the basis of the recommendation of the assessment committee, the Dean of the Faculties of Engineering, Science and Medicine will make a decision for allocating the stipend.
For further information about stipends and salary contact Ms. Helen Kjerstein Kristensen, The Faculties of Engineering, Science and Medicine, phone: +45 9940 7373 .
The faculties have a research school, The Doctoral School of Engineering, Science and Medicine: www.phd.ins.aau.dk and a Network for all PhD students: www.pau.aau.dk
Agreement
Appointment and salary as a PhD fellow are according to the Ministry of Finance Circular of January 11, 2006 on the Collective Agreement for Academics in Denmark, Appendix 5, regarding PhD fellows, and with the Ministry of Finance Circular of June 13, 2007 on the employment structure at Danish Universities.
