PhD and Postdoc Positions in Mathematics in Denmark

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...

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-...

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...

The Centre for Quantum Mathematics (QM) at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Southern Denmark, is recruiting multiple postdoctoral researchers for 2–3-year positions in quantum algorithms and quantum software. QM is a highly international and interdisciplinary centre based at SDU in Odense, bringing together expertise in pure mathematics, mathematical physics, and quantum computer science. The centre has developed a broad research environment spanning both fundame...

DTU Compute is offering a PhD scholarship focused on developing machine-learning methods for faster analysis and optimization of cyber-physical systems. The project will connect learned prediction models with optimization methods to address analytical calculations and simulations that are too expensive to evaluate repeatedly within practical computing budgets. The PhD researcher will develop surrogate models for predicting outputs such as execution delays, energy use, and resource demands. Machi...

The Department of Plant and Environmental Science at the University of Copenhagen is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a 34-month project on crop root development and its effects on root-zone water and nitrogen dynamics. The work is centred on the newly established RootAccess facility, which is designed to study crop root growth down to 3 meters and to trace how roots influence water and nitrogen processes at the same depth. The project will examine how a range of common crops exploit the...

The Department of Computer Science (DIKU) at the University of Copenhagen is offering a two-year postdoctoral position in computational microscopy , hosted by the IMAGE section. The project sits within a research environment focused on machine learning, computer vision, and simulation , and is part of the Faculty of SCIENCE. The research aims to develop computational methods for extracting three-dimensional information from microscopy images . The work combines computer vision with physics-based...

The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen is offering PhD stipends in Statistics and the mathematics of Insurance and Economics . The call sits within the sections of Insurance and Economics and Statistics and Probability Theory, and is based in a research-intensive department with active PhD, postdoc, and visitor programs in central Copenhagen. Students may develop projects in several directions, including optimal transport and adapted Wasserstein metrics , and cau...
