PhD Positions in Mining Engineering 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...

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 project is part of Satcom4Defence at Aalborg University and focuses on resilient LEO satellite communication and 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTN) for defence-related and other mission-critical applications. The project addresses the technical challenges created by fast-moving satellites, dynamic coverage conditions, and vulnerabilities to interference, jamming, and electronic warfare. The doctoral researcher will work on methods to improve robustness and reliability across multiple lay...

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 the Department of Chemistry, Technical University of Denmark (DTU) explores how batteries work and fail at the molecular level, with the goal of informing better materials for safer, longer-lasting, higher-performing energy storage. The research combines magnetic resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) with electrochemical methods to investigate battery materials and components in a non-destructive, chemically specific way. You will help develop and apply a suite of NM...
