About this position

PhD scholarship in self-driving labs for ligand design in nanocrystal synthesis and catalysis at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).

This PhD project focuses on making ligand identity a continuous, model-driven design variable inside closed-loop autonomous experimentation. The work combines high-throughput synthesis and optical characterization of cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals, DFT-based ligand libraries, surrogate models, and a Bayesian optimizer for self-driving lab workflows.

You will work across three connected areas: (1) experimental nanocrystal synthesis and characterization at DTU, (2) computational chemistry and model building, and (3) a distributed self-driving lab linking DTU with platforms at North Carolina State University. The project includes a 6-month research stay in the Abolhasani Lab.

Eligibility highlights: an MSc in chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, data science, or a related field; useful background in nanocrystal synthesis, catalysis, computational chemistry, Bayesian optimization, or lab automation. The post emphasizes that you do not need all of these, but should bring some relevant experience and the drive to learn across disciplines.

Funding: this is a PhD scholarship position. The post does not specify stipend amount or tuition coverage.

Deadline: 15 October 2026. Start date: 1 January 2027, or by agreement.

How to apply: submit your application through DTU's online recruitment system only. Applications by email or LinkedIn message will not be considered.
