Martin Nielsen

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.
