Postdoc in Engineering Systems Design and Project Manager for H2020 Project Eurito

DTU Management Engineering invites applicants for a 2-year position as Post-Doc in Engineering Systems and Project Manager at DTU for the H2020 EURITO project on Research and Innovation Indicators. The applicant should start ideally in December 2018 or as close as possible thereafter. The position will be based in the Engineering Systems Division led by Professor Anja Maier.

The Engineering Systems Division is growing fast and is characterised by a vibrant and supportive research environment with engaged staff and strong research collaborations with leading universities and industry worldwide. Our research focuses on understanding and improving the ways in which engineering systems are designed, managed, and operated throughout their life cycles. Our research spans the boundaries of 1. interdisciplinary engineering design, 2. engineering project, programme and portfolio management, and 3. related policy, public engagement and strategic processes.

The Post-Doc will be expected to conduct research and to be the connector and project manager for the DTU part of the EURITO project, a three-year (2018-2020) European Union Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Action, with Nesta (UK) as project consortium co-ordinator and with DTU (Denmark), FOKUS Fraunhofer (Germany), and Cotec (Spain) as project partners.

EURITOs overall objective is to enhance the design of research and innovation policies (R&I) in Europe. This is to be achieved by developing a new set of system-level indicators for innovation and research activities, as well as analytics and visualisations based on open data sources and novel methods. Examples of mined data sources include publications, patents, industry registries, company websites, data traces within social networking and community websites (e.g. Meetup.com and Twitter). Examples of analysis methods include network and content analysis, interactive data visualisation dashboards, or immersive analytics. Within the consortium, DTU work package leads on tasks connected to data collection and analysis, with a particular focus on analytics and information visualisation.

You will have the opportunity to develop and conduct your research within engineering systems design. The H2020 project is situated within (data-driven and visual) systems design, research and innovation indicators, and policy-making.
