This funded PhD project investigates what happens on land when temperatures exceed 1.5°C and examines the long-term consequences of climate “overshoot.” The research will combine geochemical datasets with climate model simulations to determine how land systems respond to past, present and future warming. By connecting evidence from different climate periods with modelled future conditions, the project will contribute to improved assessments of the environmental consequences of exceeding 1.5°C of...

The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) Space invites applications for a three-year, full-time PhD scholarship on physics-informed machine learning for Greenland’s firn tipping point. The position is based at the Cryosphere Research Group, Geodesy and Earth Observation Division, DTU Space, in Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark. The project will investigate when Greenland’s porous near-surface firn layer may lose its capacity to store meltwater and what this could mean for sea-level rise. The PhD researcher ...

About this position

This PhD scholarship at DTU Sustain, Technical University of Denmark focuses on the thermodynamic properties of minerals that may serve as ores for critical raw materials. The project is part of an interdisciplinary and international collaboration designed to connect fundamental mineral characterization with applications in sustainable metal recovery.

The PhD is one of two interdependent projects hosted by DTU Sustain and the University of Queensland. At DTU, the student will lead the work on in-depth mineral characterization and thermodynamic stabilities, while collaborating closely with the UQ-based project that explores microbially mediated metal dissolution and mineral-based microbial consortia for metal recovery. Together, the projects aim to build a pipeline from fundamental understanding to application in sustainable resource processing.

The successful candidate will investigate mineral systems using first-principles methods, for example density functional theory, to study how thermodynamic properties relate to critical raw material ores. The role also includes teaching and may involve co-supervision of MSc and BSc students, offering experience in both research and academic mentoring.

The position sits within DTU Sustain, the Department of Environmental and Resource Engineering, which is one of Europe’s largest university departments in this field. The department works across research, development, scientific advice, and education, and describes an international environment with academic freedom, collegial respect, and responsibility. The project also involves an extended stay at the University of Queensland and close cross-institutional collaboration.

Funding details

PhD scholarship for 3 years; salary and appointment terms are based on the Danish collective agreement for scientific staff.

What's required

Applicants must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or an equivalent degree at an academic level in geology, mineralogy, geoscience, physics, chemistry, crystallography or a similar field. Candidates should have a scientific background that enables independent research into thermodynamic systems using first principles, and these qualifications must be demonstrated in the application. The application must be submitted in English; the advert states that you may apply before obtaining the master's degree, but you cannot start before it has been received.

How to apply

Submit the complete online application through the 'Apply now' link by the deadline. Upload one PDF in English containing a cover letter, CV, and grade transcripts plus BSc/MSc diploma with official grading-scale description. Applications received after the deadline will not be considered.
