About this position
The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) Space is offering a PhD project focused on the development of advanced radiofrequency detectors and antennas for next-generation magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
MRI scanners typically use radiofrequency detectors to image hydrogen in water molecules. This project aims to extend MRI to other nuclei by developing a broadband, multinuclear detector array capable of covering the frequencies of multiple nuclei. The intended outcome is a detector system suitable for implementation in a clinical environment.
The PhD researcher will evaluate multi-frequency detector configurations and identify promising architectures, develop element-decoupling strategies to reduce noise correlation, and design and implement a multinuclear, multichannel radiofrequency coil array. The work will also include imaging experiments and coordination of mechanical and electrical safety testing required for clinical use.
This is a cross-disciplinary research project involving DTU Space’s Electromagnetic Systems Division and close collaboration with DTU Health Tech, including its magnetic-resonance research activities. The project will also engage international and national partners such as the University of Queensland, Aarhus University Hospital, GE Healthcare and DRCMR. The researcher will contribute to research-based teaching, disseminate results to the public and participate in knowledge exchange with society.
The Electromagnetic Systems Division provides an international research and engineering environment with expertise in radiofrequency engineering. DTU Space is a major research institute in the greater Copenhagen area, while DTU’s broader technical-university community supports collaboration across natural and technical sciences.

What's required
Applicants must have a two-year master's degree worth 120 ECTS or an equivalent qualification at the same academic level, preferably in electrical engineering. Applicants may apply before receiving the master's degree but cannot start until it has been awarded. Advantageous experience includes high-frequency circuit design, fabrication and testing; use of VNAs, spectrum analysers, noise figure meters and other measurement equipment; high-frequency circuit design software; and MR technology. Candidates should be driven to push boundaries, motivated by individual and team accomplishments, and comfortable with collaboration and teamwork. Applications must be submitted in English.
How to apply
Submit the complete application through the DTU online application portal using “Apply now.” Attach one PDF in English containing a motivation letter, CV, grade transcripts and BSc/MSc diplomas with the official grading-scale description, and an Excel grade conversion sheet using DTU’s template. Applications are evaluated continuously and must arrive by 31 December 2026 at 23:59 Danish time.
