About this position
This postdoc position at DTU Space is part of the LURELA project, which explores whether 3D-printed lunar regolith can be used to build extremely large-aperture antennas for future lunar radio astronomy missions. The project sits at the intersection of applied electromagnetics, antenna engineering, space technologies, and advanced manufacturing.
The successful candidate will investigate regolith-based composite materials and develop engineered metasurface reflectors for radio astronomy applications on the far side of the Moon. The aim is to support lunar observatories that can detect cosmic signals inaccessible from Earth, while also contributing to deep-space communications and in-situ resource utilization.
You will join the Division for Electromagnetic Systems at DTU Space, an internationally active research environment covering electromagnetic radiation, propagation, and scattering. The work combines theoretical analysis, computational modelling, and experimental research, supported by the DTU Electromagnetic Test Centre and its facilities for antenna measurements, microwave testing, scattering analysis, and material characterization.
The role involves close collaboration with researchers from DTU Space and DTU Construct, as well as an international network working in space systems, electromagnetic materials, advanced manufacturing, and radio astronomy. The postdoc also includes supervision of BSc and MSc student projects linked to the research activities.
The position offers a research-focused environment with access to major facilities, publication opportunities, and international collaboration within a technically strong space research division.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD degree or equivalent. Strong competencies in analytical, numerical, and experimental electromagnetics are expected, along with experience in one or more of the following areas: electromagnetic materials and material characterization, antenna design and RF measurements, metasurfaces, or additive manufacturing/3D printing technologies. The candidate should be self-motivated, scientifically curious, capable of working independently, and able to communicate and collaborate effectively in an interdisciplinary research team.
