Two-year Postdoc position on Spintronic Quantum-inspired Computing

Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) invites applications for a 2-year Postdoctoral Researcher position within the newly funded QUANTRONIC – Spintronic Pseudo-Qubits for Room-Temperature Quantum Computing project, supported by the Villum Experiment programme of Villum Fonden. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate a new class of spintronic pseudo-qubits (p-qubits) based on spin-orbit torque magnetic tunnel junctions (SOT-MTJs). The project explores whether engineered stochastic spintronic devices can reproduce key computational mechanisms associated with quantum systems - including superposition-like states, probability-amplitude-based interference, and entanglement-like correlations—without relying on fragile quantum coherence or cryogenic operation.

PhD scholarship in Dynamic Food System Modelling

Are you interested in sustainability assessments and modelling, and at the same time eager to work towards more sustainable food systems? Then join us as our new PhD Student in dynamic food system modelling! The overall goal of this project is to develop dynamic modelling approaches for sustainability assessments of microbial foods and food system transformations in general. Building on the Absolute Environmental Sustainability Assessment (AESA) framework, a key aim is to adapt AESA to the food system by integrating nutrition as the functional unit (nFU) to incorporate a nutritional LCA (nLCA) angle. The project also aims to further develop the AESA approach by taking into account different factors including temporal dynamics and regional differences. In particular, you will focus on understanding how temporal dynamics may influence the allocated shares of safe operating space, due to changing population sizes and future needs requirements, as well as how the carrying capacities themselves may be influenced by Earth Systems interactions. You will also develop methods to account for regional differences in both the environmental carrying capacities and life cycle impacts. Finally, an aspect of the project will also involve incorporating prospective modelling approaches e.g. pLCA, to explore how future technological developments and changes in eco-efficiencies might influence the sustainability impact of microbial food production.

Postdoc position for Investigating the Non-Scalable Quantum Size Regime in Catalysis

The Section for Surface Physics & Catalysis (SurfCat) is looking for candidates for a postdoc position for Investigating the Non-Scalable Quantum Size Regime in Catalysis. This postdoctoral position is part of a Novo Nordisk Foundation funded project investigating the Non-Scalable Quantum Size Regime in Catalysis. You will take charge of the electrochemical activity testing of size-selected bimetallic cluster catalysts for the electrochemical CO(2) reduction reaction (CO(2)RR), working with clusters produced in-house via a mass-selected cluster source.

These measurements will together with atomic-scale structural characterization establish how quantum-size effects and heteroatomic ensembles in bimetallic clusters govern activity and selectivity. Throughout, you will maintain strict sample integrity between synthesis and electrochemical testing (via UHV or inert-atmosphere transfer) to preserve true structure–function relationships, and you will correlate your electrochemical findings with structural and compositional data from STM, (S)TEM, XPS, ISS, and EXAFS, feeding results back into the project's closed-loop methodology

Postdoc in Creative Electrosynthesis Reactions

The primary responsibility of this position is characterizing and testing electrocatalysts for electrosynthetic reactions either in aqueous or non-aqueous solvents. This could also entail operating at temperatures up to 200 ℃ and 20 bar. In-line gas chromatography or mass spectrometry will be used to measure gas products whereas HPLC or NMR will be used to measure liquid products. We have H-cells, gas diffusion flow cells, zero gap membrane electrode assembly cells, and electrochemical mass spectrometry, which allows for a variety of reactor designs that could be used for this project. As renewable energy continually becomes cheaper, the overall approach to sustainability is to electrify as much as possible. The chemicals industry produces 1000’s of chemicals thus there is substantial need for new research in electrochemical conversion to chemicals. While topics such as water electrolysis, CO2/CO electrolysis, ammonia synthesis are well researched, there is an urgent need for new and creative electrosynthesis reactions, especially those with high potential for economic viability. These types of reactions need original research to understand the fundamental science behind the new reactions, so that they can robustly grow in the future. That is what this project looks to investigate. The creativity and aim of this project relies on you. Thus this is a relatively open postdoc position in what the end goal will be as long as it relates to new electrosynthesis reactions. We are looking for somebody that has an idea outside the standard electrochemical reactions that are commonly researched. The proposed idea and project needs to fall within the capacities and direction of the pioneer centers for accelerating P2X materials discovery (https://capex.dtu.dk/) and the surface and catalysis (SurfCat) section within DTU Physics. As a whole, we expect this project will focus on developing the electrosynthesis reaction, and then using the CAPeX center and SurfCat infrastucture as a means to help determine what is the optimal catalyst and means of synthesizing and characterizing the catalyst. This is a purely experimental position, but will involve collaboration with computational chemists.
