Postdocs in Trustworthy AI Foundation Models and AGI for Power System Control at DTU Wind and Energy Systems
Job Description
DTU’s Division for Power and Energy Systems is hiring two postdocs to develop next-generation machine learning tools for electricity grids. One will coordinate pilots in the new GenAISIS project and build trustworthy AI foundation models for secure operation and planning of real grids; the other will develop AI methods for autonomous design and verification of power-system controllers and use LLMs to orchestrate digital-twin simulations in the EU project ODEON.
At a glance
- Posts: Two postdocs
- Department: DTU Wind and Energy Systems, Power and Energy Systems
- Projects: GenAISIS and Horizon Europe ODEON
- Duration: 1 year
- Apply by: 30 September 2026
- Apply: 30 September 2026 (23:59 Danish time)
What the post involves
- Develop trustworthy AI foundation models for transmission and distribution grids and coordinate GenAISIS pilots
- Develop AI methods for autonomous design and verification of power-system controllers
- Design LLM-based orchestration of digital-twin simulations using energy data spaces (ODEON)
- Work with a Ph.D. student and international partners
Why this post matters
Grids with more wind, solar and batteries are harder to operate, and operators are cautious about AI they cannot trust. Building verifiable AI for grids is therefore both a research frontier and a practical need, and these posts sit in two large European projects.
What DTU is looking for
- A Ph.D. in power systems, electrical engineering, machine learning or a related field
- Experience applying machine learning to power or energy systems
- Ability to lead activities in collaborative projects
Nice to have
- Experience with digital twins, LLM agents or control verification
Pay and location
Salary follows the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations, with supplements negotiable under DTU’s salary structure for scientific staff; the ad does not give a figure.
How to apply
Apply through the official DTU page. The closing date is 30 September 2026 (23:59 Danish time). Apply online through DTU’s recruitment site with the documents the ad lists (usually a CV, cover letter, degree certificates and, for postdocs, a list of publications).
