The School of Engineering is one of the six schools of Aalto University. The main task of the School of Engineering is to renew technologies related to the technical industry and the built environment through scientific research, technological innovation and inspiring education. Our objective is to create new knowledge, information and solutions to serve the goals of sustainable development. Our research topics are highly relevant to the surrounding society, connecting theory with practice. Collaborative projects with the technological industry and the surrounding society have been a trademark for decades. Our research focus areas are Multidisciplinary Energy Technologies, Sustainable Built Environment, Marine and Arctic Technology, Mechanics and Materials and Systems Design and Production.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Aalto University School of Engineering invites applications for
Assistant or Associate Professor in Sustainable Large-Scale Implementation of Wind and Solar Power (Tenure Track)
We are seeking outstanding individuals who have a strong background and broad understanding on the challenges and solutions of sustainable large-scale implementation of renewable energy systems, especially focusing on utility-scale wind and solar power and solar energy (excluding bioenergy). In the middle of the green energy transition, we need to actively work for pushing our current climate, food, water etc. systems back within their planetary boundaries, making it critical to consider the impacts large scale deployment of renewables has on, e.g., land use, biodiversity and critical material demand. This position does not encompass wind or solar PV material research or electrical engineering aspects of power generation, nor bioenergy research. Position also excludes research on fluid mechanics and CFD modeling. The competences for these excluded fields should come from the research partners and collaborators.

We are looking for applicants with
-
A positive, solution-based “We can do it!” attitude.
-
a doctorate in renewable energy technologies, especially on wind power and wind power deployment, combined with land-use, siting analysis (e.g., GIS) and/or environmental (LCA, biodiversity and nature impact) and societal (social acceptance) analysis competences and understanding their role in a system limited by the planetary boundaries and social foundation.
-
a proven ability and passion to carry out high-quality research and publish in top venues of the discipline
-
potential to attract research funding and build up your own research team
-
an interest and capability to collaborate with industry
