PhD and Postdoc Positions in Astronomy in Denmark

The Department of Science Education at the University of Copenhagen is offering a three-year PhD position within the Novo Nordisk Foundation Centre for University Science Education (NNF-USE). The project sits in the research work package “Disciplinary Writing Practices in the AI Era: Enhancing Learning in the Geosciences” and is part of the University Science Education research group, which works on higher education discipline-based educational research in an interdisciplinary and international ...

The Department of Physics at Aarhus University invites applications for a 2-year full-time postdoc project on probing nanoscale heterogeneity in ultrafast phase transitions . The project combines advanced soft X-ray imaging with X-ray Free Electron Lasers to study the dynamics of light-induced phase transitions at the nanoscale. The successful candidate will work on experiments that bring together large-scale facilities and laboratory-based methods. In particular, the postdoc will lead XFEL and ...

The Department of Biology at Aarhus University is offering a two-year postdoctoral position in environmental microbial ecology within the Section for Microbiology. The project focuses on microorganisms associated with electrically conductive iron minerals in anoxic aquatic sediments, asking which bacterial and archaeal cells live on these minerals and how their physiology and ecology differ from those in the surrounding sediment. The successful researcher will investigate the phylogenetic identi...

Aalborg University is recruiting a full-time postdoctoral researcher in Lighting Design for its Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology at the Copenhagen Campus. The two-year position is connected to the transdisciplinary Lighting Design Lab and combines research, supervision, teaching, and semester coordination. The postdoc will contribute to externally funded research projects that address societal challenges through lighting design, technology, and human-centric approaches. Th...

This postdoc project at the University of Copenhagen focuses on how sea-level rise and coastal squeeze are reshaping tidal flats in the Danish Wadden Sea. The researcher will study tidal flat evolution, sediment characteristics, and the factors controlling sediment dynamics in coastal wetlands as part of the multidisciplinary WadProof project. The project examines recent and historical changes in tidal flat development and texture, the effects of dikes, and the drivers of sediment characteristic...

The Centre for Quantum Mathematics (QM) at the University of Southern Denmark’s Department of Mathematics and Computer Science is recruiting postdoctoral researchers for a 2- to 3-year appointment focused on quantum algorithms and quantum software . The position is embedded in a highly international and interdisciplinary centre that connects pure mathematics, mathematical physics, and quantum computer science, with research activity spanning both fundamental and applied directions. QM has grown ...

Aalborg University is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher in Power Electronics and Converter Synchronization for a two-year position at AAU Energy in Aalborg, Denmark. The researcher will join the EMI/EMC in Power Electronics research group within the Section for Applied Power Electronic Systems. The work is part of the VILLUM Experiment project A-choir , which addresses advanced converter synchronization and control for battery energy storage systems (BESS). The project combines power electron...

This two-year postdoctoral position at Aarhus University is part of the SmartField project, a cross-organizational effort focused on understanding nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural fields and developing improved mitigation and accounting methods for farm and national scales. The project centers on developing a Tier 3, model-based national inventory of N₂O emissions from cultivation of soils in Denmark. The successful candidate will help design and implement the modelling framework, suppo...

This postdoctoral fellowship is hosted by the Niels Bohr International Academy at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. The project sits in a vibrant theoretical-physics environment that brings together astrophysics, gravitational physics, particle physics, quantum sciences, and soft matter physics, with active interaction across Copenhagen’s wider astrophysics community. The fellow will work in Prof. Andrew Chael’s interdisciplinary group on near-horizon black hole astrophysics. T...
