PhD and Postdoc Positions in Chemistry in Denmark

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...

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...

This PhD scholarship at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) , within DTU Sustain - Department of Environmental and Resource Engineering , focuses on advancing solar-driven hybrid methane production for bio-electrochemical CO2 utilization . The project sits at the intersection of environmental engineering, biotechnology, electrochemistry, and process optimization, with the aim of improving the conversion of biogenic CO2 into methane. You will work within the Water Technology and Processes (...

Technical University of Denmark (DTU Energy) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on automating the discovery of amorphous solid electrolytes for next-generation batteries. The project builds on investigations of amorphous solid electrolytes using brute-force exploration. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to making this discovery process more efficient by examining how local structure and detailed chemical composition can reveal design rules for advanced energy materials. The r...

Aarhus University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in computational genomics within the Department of Agroecology’s Crop Genetics and Biotechnology area in Slagelse, Denmark. The project combines pangenomics, long-read sequencing and large language model (LLM)-based methods to address the complexity of plant genomes. The postdoctoral researcher will develop computational approaches that integrate pangenomic information with LLM methods, supporting advanced analysis of complex crop genomes...

The Department of Chemistry at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is offering a three-year PhD project focused on battery chemistry and magnetic resonance. The research aims to understand how batteries operate and fail at the molecular level, supporting the design of safer, longer-lasting and higher-performing energy-storage materials. Working under the supervision of Assistant Professor Leo W. Gordon, the PhD researcher will develop and apply nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) characteriza...

DTU Sustain at the Technical University of Denmark is offering a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions PhD project on solar-driven hybrid methane production technologies for bio-electrochemical CO2 utilization . The research will advance sustainable photo-bio-electrochemical methanation using biogenic CO2, contributing to circular and low-carbon environmental technologies. The PhD researcher will work with the interdisciplinary Water Technology and Processes section, combining environmental engineering...

The University of Southern Denmark is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join the Biotechnology Section of the Department of Green Technology in Odense. The researcher will work in Associate Professor Ren Wei’s newly established group as part of the Horizon Europe EIC Pathfinder project CATAMPLAS. CATAMPLAS focuses on next-generation catalytic protein scaffolds, including engineered functional amyloids, for the enzymatic degradation of synthetic polymers. The project brings together interna...

The University of Copenhagen’s Globe Institute is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to advance mass-spectrometry-based palaeoproteomics. The project targets ancient protein traces preserved in fossil material, including remains more than one million years old, with the goal of recovering longer and higher-quality amino-acid sequences for improved phylogenetic reconstruction of extinct hominids and other fossil taxa. The postdoc will develop novel workflows spanning sample preparation, chromatogr...
