Brian Seger, Professor at Technical University of Denmark (DTU Physics) , is advertising an open 2-year postdoc position in experimental electrocatalytic synthesis as part of the CAPeX center . The project is unusual and highly research-driven: instead of working on established topics such as water electrolysis, CO2 electrolysis, nitrate reduction, or furfural partial oxidation, the postdoc will help develop a completely new electrosynthesis reaction . The goal is to identify a reaction with eco...

About this position

Two fully funded PhD positions are available at DTU Chemistry, Technical University of Denmark, in the field of biomass valorization. The positions are part of a collaborative project between Associate Professor Martin Nielsen and Sebastian Meier, focusing on sustainable chemistry and advanced analytical methods.

One PhD project, supervised by Martin Nielsen, will develop sustainable catalytic systems for biomass conversion. The other, supervised by Sebastian Meier, will focus on developing NMR methods for quantitative analysis of catalytic reaction outputs. The research is supported by the Independent Research Fund Denmark and will be conducted in a dynamic, international research environment at DTU Chemistry.

Applicants should have a strong background in chemistry, chemical engineering, or a related discipline. Experience with catalysis or NMR spectroscopy is advantageous. The positions offer an opportunity to work on cutting-edge research in sustainable chemistry and analytical science, with access to state-of-the-art facilities and collaboration between leading experts.

The application deadline is January 5, 2026. Interested candidates should apply via the DTU job portal, using the specific links provided for each project. For more information, refer to the official DTU Career Site or contact the supervisors via their LinkedIn profiles.

Funding details

The positions are funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. Details on stipend amount, tuition coverage, or other financial aspects are not provided in the announcement.

What's required

Applicants should have a relevant background in chemistry, chemical engineering, or a closely related field. Experience with catalysis or NMR methods is likely preferred. A strong academic record and motivation for research are expected. Specific degree or GPA requirements are not mentioned.
