This postdoctoral position at CNRS is part of the ANR TOOLS4HYBCAT project on hybrid catalysis for converting biomass-derived sugars into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) . The selected researcher will focus on the chemical-catalysis side of a coupled process that transforms D-glucose into D-fructose enzymatically and then dehydrates fructose into 5-HMF using acid catalysis. The main scientific challenge is to select suitable chemical catalysts, immobilize them on appropriate supports or directly...

About this position

CarbonLab at Aalborg University is seeking one or more PhD candidates to help advance Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies. The project addresses the scientific and engineering challenges that remain before DAC can be deployed at very large scale, with a focus on developing energy-efficient, economically viable systems built on a deeper understanding of how materials, processes and system integration interact.

The PhD work is linked to two research directions: developing process-aware methods for evaluating emerging liquid and solid sorbents and DAC technologies, and building predictive frameworks that connect sorbent properties to process-level DAC performance. The goal is to move DAC development beyond empirical trial-and-error toward predictive, data-driven design and scale-up.

You will join CarbonLab, a research environment at Aalborg University dedicated to carbon capture, carbon removal and climate-positive technologies. The lab combines laboratory experiments, process modelling, experimental validation, techno-economic assessment, life-cycle assessment and system integration. The group is international and interdisciplinary, and PhD students are expected to contribute as active colleagues in a supportive research culture with room for initiative, collaboration and academic development.

The position is based at AAU Energy on the Aalborg campus. The department works on electrical, thermal and mechatronic energy technologies and collaborates with industrial and academic partners on real-world energy challenges. The role offers access to advanced laboratories and workshop facilities, as well as an environment where research, teaching and collaboration are central to the PhD experience.

Funding details

PhD stipend position; salary and terms follow the Danish AC collective agreement. Duration is three years, with a 3-month probationary period.

What's required

Applicants should hold a master's degree, or be close to completion, in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, Energy Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or a related discipline. Strong analytical ability, interest in complex engineering problems, and motivation to develop next-generation carbon removal technologies are expected. Experience with Direct Air Capture, carbon capture, process intensification, mass transfer, reaction engineering, thermodynamics, experimental design, spectroscopy, NMR, gas-liquid/gas-solid equilibrium measurements, breakthrough experiments, process modelling tools such as Aspen Plus, MATLAB or Python, data analysis, optimization, uncertainty assessment, techno-economic analysis, sustainability assessment, and energy systems integration is advantageous. Candidates should be able to communicate effectively in written and spoken English and work in an interdisciplinary, international environment. Prior research experience through a master's project, internship, conference contribution, or publication is an advantage but not required. Enrollment as a PhD student at the Doctoral School of Engineering and Science is required.

How to apply

Apply through Aalborg University’s recruitment system via the job advertisement on the university website. Include an application letter, CV, bachelor's and master's diplomas with grades, a 2–5 page project description with state-of-the-art, references, timeline and approach, plus any other relevant documents.
