PhD scholarship in generative protein and peptide design for sustainable biomaterials - BRIGHT Technical University of Denmark in Denmark

These four PhD positions are hosted by DTU Energy within BRIGHT ’s mission-oriented research programme on novel biomanufacturing-enabled materials. The project aims to create PFAS-free functional biomaterials and, in particular, to develop proteinaceous and polypeptide-based materials as sustainable alternatives to persistent fluorinated components used in batteries. The research spans an integrated pipeline from molecular design to biomanufacturing, materials processing and performance testing....

This PhD project is part of BRIGHT at the Technical University of Denmark, where researchers are building a general platform for designing protein- and peptide-based biomaterials. The first testbed is solid-state battery components, with the broader aim of replacing fluorinated PFAS polymers with de novo designed proteins and peptides. The project focuses on predictive modelling of long-timescale behaviour in designed proteins and peptides using generative molecular dynamics. A key goal is to un...

This PhD project is part of BRIGHT’s mission-oriented programme on novel biomanufacturing-enabled materials. The work aims to create a general platform for designing protein- and peptide-based biomaterials, using solid-state battery components as the first testbed and focusing on alternatives to fluorinated PFAS polymers. The successful candidate will help move de novo molecular designs from the computer into the laboratory. The project centres on producing canonical and non-canonical proteins a...

DTU Physics is advertising a PhD scholarship in Atomistic Stabilization in Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (ATOMIZE) in Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark . The project is a collaboration between Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Topsoe , funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF) . The research focuses on atomistic simulations , density functional theory (DFT) , and machine-learning interatomic potentials to understand why solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) degrade and how electrode stab...
