About this position

DTU Construct at the Technical University of Denmark is advertising a Postdoc in Marine Structures in Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark. The project is part of a recently granted Horizon Europe collaboration and focuses on developing next-generation digital twins for offshore wind infrastructures using physical and data-driven models.

The research will strengthen competencies in marine structures, structural health monitoring, finite element analysis, data analytics, and structural reliability. Core tasks include developing and calibrating finite element models, fusing strain/vibration/environmental data into reconstructed structural states, building data-driven surrogate models, and creating a reliability re-analysis framework for continuous failure-probability updates and risk-informed decision support.

The position is a two-year postdoctoral appointment. The role is based at DTU in Denmark and involves collaboration with academic and industrial partners across Europe. The post also includes contribution to research-based teaching and supervision of MSc students.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a PhD degree or equivalent and should have a strong background in marine structures, structural health monitoring, or a related field, with substantial experience in finite element analysis and/or data analytics. Strong collaboration, independent working, and dissemination skills are emphasized.

Funding/terms: salary and employment conditions follow the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations; salary supplements may be negotiated according to DTU’s scientific staff structure. No stipend amount is listed.

Application deadline: 1 September 2026 at 23:59 Danish time. Applicants must submit one PDF online containing a cover letter, CV, academic diplomas (MSc/PhD in English), and a publication list.

For more information, the contact person is Associate Professor Yanlin Shao ([email protected]) at DTU’s Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering.
