PhD Positions in Physics 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 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 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 Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for PhD stipends in mathematics across a broad set of research areas. The available projects span algebraic and arithmetic geometry, applied algebra, combinatorics, geometric group theory, geometry and geometric analysis, number theory, representation theory, topology, classical analysis, descriptive set theory, functional analysis, harmonic analysis, history of mathematics, mathematical physics, operato...

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...

At DTU Physics, four PhD students will join a broad quantum science effort spanning experimental quantum optics, optomechanics, microscopy and theory/software for photonic quantum computing. The positions are based in the Section for Quantum Physics and Information Technology (QPIT) and bigQ – Center for Macroscopic Quantum States , within an international environment that combines advanced quantum-optical laboratories, quantum information theory and large-scale computational research. The adver...
