This PhD project at DTU Electro focuses on electronic-photonic integration for scalable information processing, combining thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic circuits with custom CMOS chips . The research addresses a central challenge in modern computing and photonic hardware: how to move from isolated photonic devices to chip-scale systems that can be driven, stabilized, and controlled electronically at scale. The project EPIC develops 3D integration of photonic and CMOS chips through fli...

About this position

This PhD project is part of the ACCESS initiative, Augmenting the STEM Classroom by ESS Digital Twins, a collaboration between Technical University of Denmark (DTU), University of Copenhagen, and the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund. The project focuses on how university students learn when they work with digital twins of ESS instruments, and how such virtual environments can prepare them for real neutron-based experiments.

The research is centred on four ESS instruments and the learning opportunities they create through virtual experimentation. Students will explore imaging, inelastic scattering, small-angle scattering, and diffraction through digital twins of the instruments, including ODIN, BIFROST, LOKI, and DREAM. The PhD student will investigate what knowledge, skills, and competences students gain from these tools, and how these experiences transfer from classroom learning to the use of actual research infrastructure.

The position is embedded in an educational research environment linking engineering education, STEM learning, and advanced research facilities. The PhD student will be based at DTU and will study students from both DTU and the University of Copenhagen, working closely with committed teachers and educational developers from both institutions. The project is designed to contribute to better educational offerings for future scientists, physicists, and engineers, and to support more effective use of world-class neutron facilities.

As part of the PhD programme, the student is expected to spend 3–6 months at an international university to conduct field studies and data analysis with one of the leading research groups in the area.

Funding details

Funded by Novo Nordisk Foundation through the ACCESS project; 3-year full-time PhD position with salary and employment conditions according to the Danish collective agreement for academics in the state.

What's required

Applicants must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS) or equivalent academic qualification, preferably in education, anthropology, pedagogical anthropology, didactics, pedagogy, or learning processes. Candidates should have basic knowledge of teaching and learning, student motivation, and didactics, for example through experience as a teaching assistant or teacher at secondary or university level. Interest in university teaching, ideally STEM or science education, and in developing high-quality higher education is expected. Applicants must be able to work independently, plan and carry out complex tasks, and communicate well in both Danish and English, written and spoken. It is possible to apply before the master’s degree has been awarded, but the degree must be obtained before the start date.

How to apply

Submit the online application via the Apply now link by 9 December 2026 at 23:59 Danish time. Upload all required documents as one single PDF file, including cover letter, CV, transcripts, degree documentation, and a short research vision. Applications sent by email will not be considered.
