PhD Positions in Geology in Denmark

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...

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 (...

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 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 scholarship at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Construct) is part of a collaboration between DTU and a private enterprise focused on experimental clearance flow research for ammonia and other sustainable marine fuels. The project uses an in-house designed high-pressure clearance flow test rig that reproduces pressure and temperature conditions similar to those in a marine engine booster pump. The successful PhD student will continue development of the ammonia flow rig, run test...

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 stipend is based at the Department of Chemistry and Bioscience within the Faculty of Engineering and Science at Aalborg University , with the workplace in Aalborg and an expected start date from 1 January 2027 or soon thereafter. The project focuses on microbial ecology for optimising anaerobic digestion processes . Working in collaboration with Shell Biogas Low Carbon Solutions , the PhD student will explore enhancement technologies that can improve biogas production and process stabil...

Research focus: This three-year PhD project at DTU Energy investigates why solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) gradually lose performance and how switching between electrolysis and fuel-cell modes can eliminate or reverse degradation. The research addresses a major challenge in producing hydrogen and other fuels from renewable electricity. The doctoral researcher will use operando transmission electron microscopy to observe degradation and recovery inside a working, miniaturised SOEC. Experim...

Aarhus University PhD position: NCREDIBLE The Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics at Aarhus University is offering a PhD project entitled Better Nitrogen efficiency by improving Cow Resilience, Eating Dynamics, Breeding and Lifetime Efficiency (NCREDIBLE) . The project addresses how dairy cattle can contribute to more sustainable dairy production through improved biological efficiency and resilience. The research brings together quantitative genetics, dairy cattle breeding, animal resi...
