The Quantum Matter Lab at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for experimental work on topologically protected synthetic matter. The project investigates one-dimensional and two-dimensional arrays of semiconductor-superconductor Josephson junctions formed in different lattice geometries. The research will explore novel states and dynamics of emergent quantum states, including topological matter and flat bands, at the interface of quantum simul...

The University of Copenhagen’s Niels Bohr Institute invites applications for two three-year Postdoctoral Researcher positions in experimental nanophotonics and quantum optics in Professor Maiken H. Mikkelsen’s group. The group investigates how light and matter interact when light is confined to nanometre-scale volumes. Its work uses deterministically fabricated plasmonic nanocavities—metallic nanogaps formed around selected emitters—to access exceptionally strong light–matter interactions, inclu...

About this position

This postdoc is based at DTU Construct in close collaboration with DTU Physics and sits within an international, highly multidisciplinary team of around eight PhD students and postdocs. The project aims to understand and predict the mechanical behaviour of metals during plastic deformation by combining dislocation dynamics, crystal plasticity simulations, and synchrotron experiments that provide direct images of microstructural evolution.

The main research focus is to develop and apply crystal plasticity models to predict how grain orientations, stress states, and mechanical fields evolve as metals deform. You will compare model predictions with first-of-their-kind 3D maps of voids, particles, grain orientations, and stress states obtained from synchrotron measurements, then identify where predictions fail and improve the modelling approach accordingly.

The role also includes exploring the formation of dislocation boundary patterns at scales below the usual reach of crystal plasticity by introducing stochastic elements into simulations. In addition to modelling, you will have the opportunity to participate in synchrotron experiments and learn how the experimental data used for validation are generated.

The environment is strongly research-oriented, with colleagues working across mechanics, materials science, and physics at DTU.

Funding details

Salary based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations; supplements may be negotiated according to DTU’s salary structure for scientific staff. Full-time appointment for 2 years.

What's required

A PhD degree or equivalent is required. Experience with crystal plasticity simulations is a strong asset. A background in materials science, mechanics, or physics is expected. Programming skills are needed to modify existing crystal plasticity code, and the candidate should be able to collaborate effectively in an international, multidisciplinary research team.
