Fully Funded PhD and Postdoc Positions in Denmark

At AAU Energy within the Faculty of Engineering and Science at Aalborg University , this 24-month postdoctoral project focuses on the dynamic modelling, simulation, and optimisation of Power-to-X processes . The position is based in the Fluid & Process research group at the Campus Esbjerg environment, where researchers work across process, chemical, energy, and electrical engineering. The project is centred on integrated Power-to-X plants and their behaviour under changing operating conditions. ...

Postdoc in Control of Open Quantum Systems and Quantum Optimisation at Aalborg University’s Department of Electronic Systems, hosted by the Learning and Decisions Lab. The project, QUANTA – Quantum Control Theory for Quantum Algorithms, studies how quantum programs can be understood and controlled as open dynamical systems rather than idealised isolated circuits. The postdoc will work on the theory and analysis of noise-affected quantum computation, with a particular emphasis on stability theory...

Research opportunity in quantum control and quantum algorithms at the Department of Electronic Systems, Aalborg University. The project sits within the Learning and Decisions Lab and is led by Professor Rafal Wisniewski, in an international environment with weekly meetings, close day-to-day supervision, and collaboration with senior researchers, PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and international partners. The PhD is part of the QUANTA project, which studies how to view quantum programs as ope...

CarbonLab at Aalborg University is seeking one or more PhD candidates to help advance Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies. The project addresses the scientific and engineering challenges that remain before DAC can be deployed at very large scale, with a focus on developing energy-efficient, economically viable systems built on a deeper understanding of how materials, processes and system integration interact. The PhD work is linked to two research directions: developing process-aware methods f...

ARoS Aarhus Art Museum is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for Olafur Eliasson × ARoS – Shared Futures , a long-term collaboration that centres on a major solo exhibition with Olafur Eliasson. The post is embedded in the museum’s curatorial and research environment and is closely tied to the upcoming exhibition project, including its public programme and related interpretive work. The research focus is Olafur Eliasson’s practice and immersive installation art more broadly. The role invites a pr...

The Somyajit laboratory at the University of Southern Denmark invites applications for a fully funded PhD fellowship in the Quantitative Cell Biology and Bioimaging research unit at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The project sits at the intersection of cell cycle control, DNA replication, and genome surveillance, and is designed around a fundamental question in how cells cope when their genome doubles. The PhD student will investigate how whole-genome doubling reshapes the...

PhD opportunity in econometric theory and methodology at Aarhus Center for Econometrics (ACE) , hosted by the Department of Economics and Business Economics at Aarhus University. The project sits within ACE’s research agenda on methods for estimation and inference that remain reliable when conventional assumptions do not fit the data or statistical problem. The call invites an original PhD project in econometric theory and methodology, with possible directions including cluster dependence, high-...

This postdoctoral position at Aarhus University is based in the Department of Agroecology , within the Soil Fertility Section , and is embedded in a research environment focused on soil fertility and nutrient turnover in agricultural soils. The project centres on soil nutrient dynamics and soil health indicators in arable and ley-based cropping systems . You will work on the ecosystem services of grassland leys and the use of biochar in arable cropping systems, with a particular emphasis on how ...

The Quantum Error Correction team at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP) is offering up to three PhD fellowships at the University of Copenhagen’s Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark. The programme is building a large, international, mission-driven research environment focused on advancing the full stack of quantum computing, from quantum processor development and the quantum-classical interface to quantum algorithms and applications. The advertised PhD project...
