We are an international department with 18 employees, and we emphasize knowledge sharing and helping each other with tasks.

  • Contribute to the strategic development of the faculty's collaboration with industry and other relevant stakeholders.
  • Assist researchers in establishing a competitive consortium consisting of both national and international partners.
  • Actively contribute to the writing and coordination of applications for external funding, including being primarily responsible for writing parts of the applications 
  • Assist researchers in preparing business plans, market analyses and value calculations in connection with collaborative projects.

We expect your educational background to be an engineer or a master's degree - possibly with a PhD within a relevant subject area. We emphasize:

It is a great advantage if you have a personal network with key people in companies and knowledge institutions within the engineering field in Denmark and preferably internationally.

You are outreaching, opening doors and creating opportunities for collaboration for TEK's research environments. You are ready to meet researchers and external collaborators at eye level and have the desire and courage to enter into discussions at a highly qualified level and argue your case.
