• Demonstrated successful collaboration with peers in the field.
• Track record of obtaining external funding.
• Strong publication record in leading journals with evidence of broad impact.
• Fluency in Danish and/or English, with expectation to master both over time.
• Research experience.
• Experience and quality of teaching.
• Research vision and potential.
• International impact and experience.
• Societal impact.
• Innovativeness, including commercialization and collaboration with industry.
• Leadership, collaboration, and interdisciplinary skills.
• Communication skills.
**Qualifications**
Required Degree(s) in:
• Plasma Physics
• Closely related field
**Experience**
Other:
• Substantial expertise in designing radio frequency (RF) and microwave-based heating systems for magnetic confinement plasma devices.
• Solid theoretical understanding of wave propagation in plasmas.
• Hands-on experience with the development and operation of plasma devices (e.g., tokamaks, linear plasma systems).
