PhD and Postdoc Positions in Energy Engineering 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. ...

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...

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...

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 invites applications for postdoctoral and assistant professor positions in the Section of Digital and High-Frequency Electronics at its Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in Odense. The research environment focuses on next-generation wireless connectivity, radar sensing, and electronic systems for intelligent devices and autonomous systems. Research may cover communications, signal processing, radar systems, antenna design and implementation, re...

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 ...

This PhD project at DTU Energy , Technical University of Denmark, focuses on one of the central durability challenges in green hydrogen production: understanding how solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) degrade and how some of that degradation can be reversed during reversible operation. The student will use operando transmission electron microscopy to observe a miniaturised SOEC while it operates under gas atmospheres and temperatures up to 900 °C. The goal is to watch nanoscale changes as el...

This PhD project at the Department of Chemistry, Technical University of Denmark (DTU) explores how batteries work and fail at the molecular level, with the goal of informing better materials for safer, longer-lasting, higher-performing energy storage. The research combines magnetic resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) with electrochemical methods to investigate battery materials and components in a non-destructive, chemically specific way. You will help develop and apply a suite of NM...
