About this position

DTU Sustain at the Technical University of Denmark is offering a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions PhD project on solar-driven hybrid methane production technologies for bio-electrochemical CO2 utilization. The research will advance sustainable photo-bio-electrochemical methanation using biogenic CO2, contributing to circular and low-carbon environmental technologies.

The PhD researcher will work with the interdisciplinary Water Technology and Processes section, combining environmental engineering, environmental biotechnology, electrochemistry, chemical reaction engineering, and process optimization. The project explores how biological and electrochemical systems can be integrated to improve CO2-to-CH4 conversion.

  • Cultivation of methanogenic archaea
  • Coupling electrochemical biofilms to photocathodes
  • Design and operation of laboratory-scale photo-bio-electrochemical experiments
  • Characterization of direct interspecies electron-transfer mechanisms
  • Optimization of operating conditions for process performance and robustness
  • Analysis of samples using LC-MS, ion chromatography, TOC, and other chemical and spectroscopic techniques
  • Dissemination through scientific publications and conference presentations

The researcher will join DTU Sustain’s Department of Environmental and Resource Engineering, a large European department focused on environmentally friendly and sustainable technologies. The Water Technology and Processes section investigates greener and circular solutions for water and residual-resource management, including environmental biotechnology and advanced water technologies. The project will be assessed by Professor Yifeng Zhang and the project team.

This PhD offers an international, interdisciplinary research environment connecting biotechnology, electrochemistry, reactor engineering, analytical chemistry, and sustainable process development.

Funding details

The PhD position is funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks programme. The scholarship supports a three-year PhD appointment. Salary and appointment terms follow the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations, with the allowance agreed with the relevant union.

What's required

Applicants must have a two-year master's degree worth 120 ECTS or an equivalent qualification at the academic level of a two-year master's degree. Candidates should have a strong experimental background in environmental biotechnology, electrochemistry, or chemical reaction engineering, with experience in analytical chemistry techniques for metabolite detection and quantification. A good command of written and spoken English and the ability to work independently and collaboratively in an interdisciplinary team are required. Applicants may apply before receiving their master's degree but cannot begin before obtaining it. Applications must include a motivation letter, CV, transcripts and BSc/MSc diploma in English with an official grading-scale description, and one or two recommendation letters. Open-source background checks may be conducted for qualified candidates because of research security and export-control rules.

How to apply

Submit the complete online application through the DTU “Apply now” portal by 15 February 2027 at 23:59 Danish time. Attach one PDF containing the motivation letter, CV, academic transcripts and diplomas with grading-scale information, and one or two recommendation letters; all materials must be in English.
