About this position

PhD fellowship in Theoretical Catalysis at the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen.

The project is rooted in the Theory group and connected to the Center for High Entropy Alloy Catalysis (CHEAC) and the ERC Synergy project DEMI. Research topics include electrocatalysis, high entropy alloys, catalyst stability/metastability, density functional theory, statistics, machine learning, and dynamics.

Two PhD fellowships are advertised. One project focuses on catalysis on high entropy alloys and energy conversion reactions; the other focuses on modelling the stability of electrocatalyst materials and developing a framework to predict metastability.

Eligible applicants should have a degree equivalent to a Danish master’s degree in a relevant field such as chemistry, materials science, or physics. Backgrounds in solid state chemistry/physics, chemical engineering, or computational chemistry are also relevant. The post also asks for relevant publications, work experience, other professional activities, a strong interest in catalysis, and good language skills.

The position is a full-time PhD fellowship for up to 3 years, with employment conditional on enrolment in the PhD School at UCPH. The start date is 1 February 2027 or shortly thereafter.

Application materials include a motivation letter, CV, diplomas and transcripts, and optionally a publication list and reference letters. The deadline is 18 October 2026 at 23:59 GMT+2.
