PhD and Postdoc Positions in Physics 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...

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 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...

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...

PhD project in electronic-photonic integration at DTU Electro, Technical University of Denmark, in Kgs. Lyngby. The project addresses the growing data-movement bottleneck in artificial-intelligence hardware by developing integrated photonic and CMOS chips for scalable information processing. You will work with thin-film lithium niobate photonic circuits, whose electro-optic properties enable fast, low-loss modulation of light. The research focuses on photonic crystal cavities, waveguide couplers...

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 Southern Denmark invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the Mandrup Group within the Functional Genomics & Metabolism Research Unit, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, in Odense, Denmark. The project investigates the molecular mechanisms regulating human leptin (LEP) gene expression in adipocytes. The postdoctoral fellow will study the cis-regulatory elements, transcription factors, and signaling pathways that control LEP expression during adipocyte ...
