PhD Positions in Astronomy in Denmark

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 ...

PhD scholarship: Physics-Informed Machine Learning for Greenland’s Firn Tipping Point DTU Space, part of the National Space Institute at the Technical University of Denmark, is recruiting a PhD student for a three-year research project on Greenland’s firn and its role in future sea-level rise. Greenland’s firn—the porous, compacted snow layer on the ice sheet—can currently refreeze a substantial amount of summer meltwater. This storage capacity is finite, however, and the project will investigat...

The Niels Bohr International Academy at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, invites expressions of interest for a three-year PhD fellowship in theoretical and gravitational wave astrophysics. The PhD fellow will join the Theoretical Astrophysics Group led by Martin Pessah and contribute to an expanding research program supported by an ERC Advanced Grant and the Carlsberg Foundation’s Semper Ardens Accomplish Grant. The project brings together astrophysical fluid dynamics and grav...

Fully funded PhD position in Quantum Nanophotonics and Polaritonic Phenomena at the University of Southern Denmark in Denmark. The research will be conducted at the POLIMA Center for Polariton-driven Light-Matter Interactions within the Mads Clausen Institute. The project investigates theoretical polaritonic phenomena in two-dimensional material tunnel junctions, with emphasis on polariton-mediated inelastic electron tunnelling, van der Waals heterostructures, light–matter interactions, and quan...

The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) Space invites applications for a three-year, full-time PhD scholarship on physics-informed machine learning for Greenland’s firn tipping point. The position is based at the Cryosphere Research Group, Geodesy and Earth Observation Division, DTU Space, in Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark. The project will investigate when Greenland’s porous near-surface firn layer may lose its capacity to store meltwater and what this could mean for sea-level rise. The PhD researcher ...

PhD position in Geoscience Education Research at the University of Copenhagen , within the Department of Science Education and the Novo Nordisk Foundation Centre for University Science Education (NNF-USE) . The project is part of the work package “Disciplinary Writing Practices in the AI Era: Enhancing Learning in the Geosciences” and focuses on how disciplinary writing supports learning, teaching, and knowledge production in university geoscience education. The research examines how students an...

PhD scholarship at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Aqua) on Arctic fjord food webs under glacial retreat . The project is jointly hosted with the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources (GINR) and the Greenland Climate Research Centre (GCRC), and it examines how glacier retreat changes the structure, functioning, and stability of coastal Arctic ecosystems. The research is centered on two fjord systems near Nuuk, Greenland, with contrasting levels of glacial influence. The successful ca...

PhD opportunity at Aalborg University, Denmark in climate change, Arctic ecosystems, terrestrial ecology, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem modeling . The Department of Chemistry and Bioscience at Aalborg University is advertising a 3-year PhD stipend in the project “From Catchment to Coast” , titled “Predicting terrestrial ecosystem responses to changing Arctic catchments.” The project investigates how climate warming alters terrestrial ecosystem structure and biogeochemical processes, and how the...

University of Southern Denmark (SDU) is recruiting a 3-year PhD position in data-driven critical raw material supply chain resilience at SDU Life Cycle Engineering , Department of Green Technology, Faculty of Engineering, in Odense, Denmark . The project focuses on how low-carbon technologies, electrification, and digital infrastructure affect demand for critical raw materials, supply dependencies, bottlenecks, and resilience. The research environment combines environmental systems analysis , su...
