Om arbeidsgiveren:

NTNU - knowledge for a better world

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) creates knowledge for a better world and solutions that can change everyday life.

 

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering

We conduct research and teaching in civil and transportation engineering, technical planning, structural engineering, water and wastewater engineering and hydraulic engineering. Graduates from our programmes become employees – in both the public and private sectors – with a sustainability mindset combined with competitive knowledge and skills. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is one of eight departments in the Faculty of Engineering.

Do you want to impact how we facilitate a mission-based research programme in a university context?

If you have a degree in bioprocess or chemical engineering and wish to play a key-role in establishing a collaborative framework for mission driven activities in a traditional academic university setup, this role could be exactly what you have been looking for.

You will have the opportunity to work closely with research projects without being a researcher yourself. You will expand your skill set in research coordination and operate from a central position of nearly all business-critical decisions, with the opportunity to make a tangible personal impact – for example, on how our Mission Lead teams work.

You will do this in a new type of research organization, where the mission is to combine the very best of academia and industry. By joining the Novo Nordisk Foundation Biotechnology Institute for the Green Transition (BRIGHT) at the Technical University of Denmark, you will play a pivotal role in delivering projects and initiatives that promote sustainability of society and the planet.

You will support researchers who are passionate about sustainability and reducing environmental impact through biomanufacturing. Your coordination support and administrative project management will assist BRIGHT in advancing technologies for developing robust microbial cell factories and scalable bioprocesses that convert CO₂-derived feedstocks into high-volume chemicals (referred to as the ‘BRIGHT Mission 1B programme’). This multi-year, mission-based initiative consists of joint efforts between multiple groups covering the entire innovation pipeline, from metabolic tools and design, strain engineering, process design, fermentation, downstream processing, multi-omics, techno-economic validation, and business development. We aim to establish new industrial routes for essential chemicals in a low-carbon economy through interdisciplinary collaboration.

Coordination, facilitation, and preparation of advanced reports on scientific outputs
At BRIGHT, every research project is designed “with the end in mind” for the knowledge gained. If a project does not have the potential to lead to development of a sustainable bioproduct, it will not be initiated. This is exactly why we aim to bridge academia and industry in a way never seen before —and you will play a key role in turning this vision into reality.

The BRIGHT research program is organized into three missions, each with specific deliverables. Each mission is jointly led by a leadership team consisting of a Technology Lead (professor) and a Business Lead (industry expert/business developer). Each mission includes a number of dedicated research projects.

Your primary focus will be to support the mission leadership team of Mission 1B (aimed at bio-based production of commodity chemicals) and ensure overall alignment across projects. A key part of your role will be to develop and implement a Mission management framework with best practices – developed in close collaboration with the mission leadership team and the Center’s Support Units.

Your primary tasks will be to:

• Assist mission leadership teams with scientific coordination meetings incl. preparation and follow-up
• Drive systematic follow-up on management decisions across all projects
• Gather and prepare materials for decision-making – status reports, data overviews, and similar
• Prepare advanced reports on scientific outputs from research groups and group leaders
• Support smooth collaboration with external industry partners – coordination, follow-up, etc.
• Ensure alignment, identify synergies, and foster cooperation across all three missions
• Support external fundraising goals to help mission teams identify relevant funding opportunities and prepare robust applications.

You can expect approximately 7- 10 travel days per year to meet partners, attend relevant conferences, and similar activities.

As a result of your integration into the research environment, you will also be the go-to person for general research coordination tasks at BRIGHT, such as nominations for research awards, coordinate scientific seminars, contribute input to BRIGHT’s communication officers on disseminating mission research internally and externally, including filtering of external communications to ensure that beneficial info reaches the relevant researchers.

Master’s degree or PhD with insight into bioprocess or chemical engineering research
In this role, you must have hands-on knowledge of how researchers work and think, enabling you to communicate effectively within a research environment. As a support function, you should naturally thrive in a facilitating and enabling role.

As you will be joining a newly established organisation with a unique mission, you must be comfortable working in a setting without previously established SOPs and templates for everything – your role will be to develop best practices for research coordination and leadership team support. Your function will be coordination and leadership support in an organization operating on the interphase between a traditional university layout and a mission driven set-up. This, combined with your cross-organisational focus, requires strong overview and a highly structured approach to your work. At the same time, you should be pragmatic, solution-oriented, and patient in driving long-term results in a complex environment.

Additionally, your CV includes:

• A Master’s degree or PhD within a natural science discipline and experience with bioprocess engineering
• Experience collecting, assessing, and presenting university/research performance KPIs
• Experience working in a complex stakeholder environment
• Fluency in written and spoken English (Danish is an advantage but not required)

Your new team
You will work closely together with the Mission 1B Technology Lead and Business Lead. Organisationally, you will be part of the Center’s Strategic Support Organisation. We are 12 dedicated colleagues committed to high standards of service and professionalism. Together, we are responsible for executive management support, fundraising, project administration, finance, people operations, and communications.

Our work environment is friendly and welcoming, and here the word “we” is far more important than “me.” We actively support your individual professional development through coaching, relevant training, task-specific courses, etc..

Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). You are employed as an Academic Officer. In addition, supplements can be negotiated in accordance with DTU’s salary structure for academic staff employed in technical-administrative positions at DTU (AC TAP): https://www.inside.dtu.dk/en/human-resources/during-employment/salary/salary-structures

Starting date is 01-10-2026 (or according to mutual agreement). The position is a full-time position.

Application and contact
Please submit your online application no later than 16 August 2026.
Open the “Apply now” link, fill out the form and attach your application in English as one PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration including CV, cover letter, diploma and if relevant list of publications.

If you would like additional information about the position, please contact Head of Administration, Hanne Varmark, at +45 9351 0658 or Mission 1B Technology Lead, Professor Alex Toftgaard Nielsen at altof@dtu.dk

Defence Nordic søger en dygtig, energisk og nyhedsskarp journalist, der vil være med til at udvikle et nyt erhvervsmedie om forsvars- og sikkerhedsindustrien i Norden.

Mediet har kun været i luften i få måneder. Men det vokser hurtigt, og ambitionen er klar: Defence Nordic skal levere relevant, skarp og uundværlig journalistik til beslutningstagere i og omkring den nordiske forsvarsindustri.

Defence Nordic er en del af Nordiske Medier, men modsat vores andre medier, skriver vi på engelsk og henvender os til læsere i hele Norden. Stoffet er både nordisk og internationalt, men vores blik er især rettet mod de vigtigste virksomheder i Danmark, Sverige, Norge og Finland og mod de internationale aktører, der samarbejder med, køber fra eller investerer i den nordiske industri.

Som journalist på Defence Nordic skal du sammen med dygtige kolleger finde de vigtigste nyheder, de skarpeste vinkler og de mest relevante historier for en professionel målgruppe. Vi skriver konkret, effektivt og med perspektiv, og vi sætter en ære i at levere kvalitetsindhold, som vores læsere kan bruge.

Forsvarsindustrien er i markant udvikling, og banen er stor, når det handler om den gode historie. Vi dækker blandt andet virksomheder, kontrakter, store udbud, investeringer, strategi, teknologi, M&A, regnskaber, industrisamarbejde, eksport og internationale partnerskaber. Vi skriver også om sikkerhed i bredere forstand – f.eks. beskyttelse af kritisk infrastruktur, cyber og dual use-teknologi.

På Defence Nordic er vi både konstruktive og kritiske i vores tilgang. Målet er hver dag at levere unik kvalitetsjournalistik, som vores abonnenter ikke kan undvære.

Redaktionen består i dag af to journalister, men vi trækker også på vores nordiske kolleger og freelancere. Vi foretrækker, at redaktionen som nu har base på redaktionen i København.

Om dig

Du er en dygtig journalist, der elsker at finde nyheder og vinde den daglige nyhedskamp. Du har blik for den gode historie, kan arbejde selvstændigt med egne vinkler og er en sikker interviewer.

Du skal kunne skrive sikkert og professionelt på engelsk. En stor del af arbejdet foregår på engelsk, og du skal være i stand til at interviewe på engelsk med professionelle kilder i og uden for Norden.

Det er en fordel, hvis du har erfaring med eller viden om forsvarsindustrien, men det er ikke et krav. Det vigtigste er, at du er nysgerrig, lærenem og har lyst til at forstå en branche, hvor udviklingen går stærkt, og hvor journalistikken gør en forskel.

Du skal have ambitioner om at sætte dagsordenen med din journalistik. Du skal grave, når der er noget at grave i, og du skal kunne forklare komplekse emner, så de bliver relevante og brugbare for læserne. Vi er bedst, når vi går i dybden med en sag og viser forståelse for den branche, vi dækker.

Du er god til selv at finde nyheder og nye vinkler. Du skriver konkret og levende og kan skære dine historier til, så vi ikke spilder læsernes tid. Du må gerne have erfaring med erhvervsjournalistik, regnskaber, strategi, teknologi, industri eller politisk regulerede brancher – men først og fremmest skal du have journalistisk drive.

Det er naturligt for dig at publicere digitalt og bruge nyhedsbreve, sociale medier og trafikdata aktivt i arbejdet med at få journalistikken ud til læserne. Du må gerne synes, at en god dag er en dag med stærke historier, relevante vinkler og masser af læsere.

Holdånd er vigtig for os. Vi hjælper hinanden, deler viden og står sammen i kampen om nyhederne.

Ansættelsesvilkår

Vi tilbyder gode ansættelsesvilkår med løn og pension efter gældende overenskomst og dine kvalifikationer.

News-driven journalist for Defence Nordic

Defence Nordic is looking for a talented, energetic and news-driven journalist to help develop a new business media outlet covering the defence and security industry in the Nordic region.

The media outlet has only been live for a few months. But it is growing quickly, and the ambition is clear: Defence Nordic must deliver relevant, sharp and indispensable journalism to decision-makers in and around the Nordic defence industry.

Defence Nordic is part of Nordiske Medier, but unlike our other media outlets, we publish in English and address readers across the Nordic region. Our coverage is both Nordic and international, but our focus is particularly on the most important companies in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland — as well as the international players that cooperate with, buy from or invest in the Nordic industry.

As a journalist at Defence Nordic, you will work with skilled colleagues to identify the most important news, the strongest angles and the most relevant stories for a professional audience. We write with clarity, efficiency and perspective, and we take pride in delivering high-quality content that our readers can use.

The defence industry is undergoing significant development, and there is no shortage of strong stories to pursue. We cover companies, contracts, major tenders, investments, strategy, technology, M&A, financial results, industrial cooperation, exports and international partnerships. We also cover security in a broader sense — for example the protection of critical infrastructure, cyber and dual-use technology.

At Defence Nordic, our approach is both constructive and critical. Our goal is to deliver unique, high-quality journalism every day — journalism that our subscribers cannot do without.

The editorial team currently consists of two journalists, but we also work closely with our Nordic colleagues and freelancers. We prefer the editorial team to remain based, as it is now, at our newsroom in Copenhagen.

About you

You are a skilled journalist who loves finding news and winning the daily news race. You have a strong instinct for a good story, you can work independently with your own angles, and you are a confident interviewer.

You must be able to write confidently and professionally in English. A large part of the work takes place in English, and you must be able to conduct interviews in English with professional sources both inside and outside the Nordic region.

Experience with or knowledge of the defence industry is an advantage, but not a requirement. What matters most is that you are curious, quick to learn and eager to understand an industry that is developing rapidly — and where journalism makes a difference.

You should have the ambition to set the agenda with your journalism. You must be ready to dig when there is something to dig into, and you must be able to explain complex topics in a way that makes them relevant and useful to readers. We are at our best when we go in depth with a story and show a real understanding of the industry we cover.

You are good at finding your own news and developing new angles. You write clearly and vividly, and you know how to sharpen your stories so we do not waste our readers’ time. Experience with business journalism, financial statements, strategy, technology, industry or politically regulated sectors is welcome — but above all, you must have journalistic drive.

Publishing digitally should come naturally to you, and you should be comfortable using newsletters, social media and traffic data actively to get journalism out to readers. Ideally, you think a good day is a day with strong stories, relevant angles and plenty of readers.

Team spirit is important to us. We help each other, share knowledge and stand together in the daily battle for the best stories.

Terms of employment

The SDU Metaverse Lab is seeking a new colleague to join our team. Our focus is on the interface of technology and people, working across domains to create experiences and technologies that enable people to shape and engage with the future. We seek a new colleague to support the strengths of the lab across all forms of interactive technologies, while unlocking new opportunities to provide societal benefit through cutting-edge technical research.

 

1 The SDU Metaverse Lab

The Metaverse Lab is an interdisciplinary research, academic, and impact-generating organisation. Unconstrained by disciplines, the Metaverse Lab sees engineers, scientists, designers, artists, and practitioners focusing on creating experiences and technologies that enable people to shape and engage with the future. In the Metaverse Lab, staff and students work together with companies and organisations on projects across disciplines in an environment designed for collaboration and technology transfer. Our research is motivated by a single aim: delivering science and technology for the benefit of society at scale. Within the broad interdisciplinary space of the Metaverse Lab, our work converges on three interconnected themes.

In Human-AI Interaction, we develop AI systems that work with and alongside people - from multi-agent logistics and swarm control in hospital settings to adaptive AI decision-making, affective computing for emotion-aware support systems, and AI-driven game environments including game twins: lightweight interactive counterparts of real-world processes designed to explain complex ideas, lower barriers to entry, and build awareness and resilience.

In Digital and Technical Literacy, we investigate how children, students, and educators can be better prepared for the digital transformation of the labour market - through STEM education programmes, teaching materials for primary and secondary schools, teacher training in emerging technologies, and AI-powered educational tools.

In Health and Wellbeing Technology, we build computational methods that improve how healthcare is delivered and experienced - including AI systems for capturing and structuring clinical conversations, causal AI for medical interventions, and game-based approaches to therapeutics and diagnostics.

Across all three themes, we work closely with industry, healthcare, defence, and public-sector partners to ensure our research translates into real-world impact.

Our faculty leads the Game Development and Learning Technologies Bachelor's degree, as well as the Interactive Technologies and Games MSc programme, working with students, visitors, and our many partner companies and organizations. Our students form the crucial front-end engineering link between back-end engineering and the actual users of information systems, with deep technical expertise and design skills who can ensure systems are useful and impactful - and ready for the future. Our alumni have gone on to share their unique skills and competencies across the Creative Industries and beyond.

The degree comprises a 3-year BSc plus a joint MSc programme with the Software Engineering section at the same institute. At its heart, the programme is a technical software engineering degree, but with a heavy emphasis on front-end design and thinking. The degree covers a diverse range of situations with an emphasis on game design and game development, including AI fundamentals and advanced techniques, VR/XR, web programming, hardware and robotics, learning technologies, and advanced interaction technologies. We place a heavy emphasis on semester projects in teams and integrate these projects directly into our courses. The degree is taught primarily in English. Some courses can be taught in Danish if the lecturer speaks Danish and there are no native-English speaking students in the class in question.

Bouw mee aan de toekomst van de horeca

HUGGO is een Belgische startup die het aankoopproces van horecazaken volledig digitaliseert.
