Fully Funded PhD Positions in Denmark

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 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...

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...

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 (...

The University of Copenhagen is offering a three-year PhD position in human studies of how gut hormones affect insulin sensitivity and brain activity. The project is based in the Department of Biomedicine and is conducted in collaboration with the Center for Clinical Metabolic Research at Gentofte Hospital and the Department of Clinical Physiology, Nuclear Medicine and PET at Rigshospitalet. The PhD researcher will run clinical and pathophysiological trials involving hormone infusions, glucose c...

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...
